Where'd they get CAT scan from?... I mean, did they test it on cats? Or does the machine sort of look like a cat?

Lurching from one disaster to the next.

Not all but a lot of DVD players have the means to circumvent the region coding. Usually it's by means of a "secret" code you have to input using the remote control. The players that don't have this ability, are usually the more expensive and/or big-name brands.

A lot of the players available in the US can also have their region coding changed. The trick is having a player that can specify a region, thus ensuring RCE is also overcome.

FTR ... I have DVDs from Australia, America and the UK and they all play perfectly.

If I only had a brain...

Oh, I have a hacked DVD player. I'm just curious if it's de rigueur outside the American region. I had heard that everyplace except America, nobody is willing to buy DVD players that aren't region-hacked.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Aussistas, can I get confirmation on something? Weebl and Bob is featuring a packet of pie-flavoured Smith's Crisps on the front page. Is this the genuine article? Are actual pie-flavoured chips now available in Oz?

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

(A scorecard for this thread, by request. Enjoy.)

Not in my little corner of the 'pode, billytea.

But rest assured, should it happen, you'll be the first to know.

In other (Weebl and Bob flavoured) news- they've been featuring on JJJ o' late. See how far up in the world they've come? :)

Edited to add... (off of Gus' scorecard o' doom)

It takes four of me to make one Angus. That sounds about right.

Excellent. I smell a hit single dance mix. ...Smells like pie.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

I need to find a local (San Francisco Bay Area) source of Tim Tams. A friend brought me a suitcase full of them, and I got addicted, or close to it.

I don't know a local vendor, but I can at least get you within the same state: check here. (I recommend the dark ones.)

billytea, you thoroughly rock. Bookmarked for miles.

The friend brought me all of those except the double-coat.

Must. Try. Immediately.
