Today was going well until I came home and found out about Rick's death.

Once the news had sunk in, I flicked on the TV to catch up on the rest of the days stories, but the TV is playing up - after 20 mins the picture finally stabilizes, then 10 minutes later it switches itself off.

Not to worry, because my cheap (£1.99) Motorhead compilation CD finally arrived today but unfortunately my (cheapo) DVD system has refused to power up and has also died (presumably along with the TV), whether this was due to it feeling threatened by the thought of Lemmy or whether it was out of sympathy for Rick I cannot say.

So here I am surfing the internet, looking for a new DVD cinema system and hoping my TV comes back to life (I'm thinking the problem may be related to the cinema kit).

So what have I learned from all of this ?

I learned from the BBC that Rick wrote a number of songs including Summer '68 from Meddle, their first number one album.

Hoping for better journalism I headed to the Times website where underneath the article about Rick, I was provided with a link to 'purchase Pink Floyd tickets' !!
Yippee I thought, as out of curiosity I clicked on the link, causing my PC to hang for 5 minutes before Firefox finally crashed.

I think I'll go bed now.

Don't switch on your heated blanket for f**k's sake  ;D

Thanks,

Oh yeah, and guess who has lost the receipt and box for the cinema kit which was only purchased in May!  :


Fortunately, I have my bank statement as proof of purchase (I have been informed by the shop they will accept that, which is some good news I suppose).

I think someone needs a hug?  :-*

By the way, please feel free to use this thread to moan about any shitty day you may have.

For goodness sake stay in bed today, It may be too dangerous to let you out into the real world.
  How old is your TV ? The cinema sound shouldn't knock it out. pressumably you are just using the audio out jacks on the back of the set or the optical input/output from the amp to the TV ?
    Ive just realised my comment is futile as I have no idea how you are set up or what kind of sound system you are using ?
    You may just have your TV and dvd connected together by scart lead then take your sound from dvd to the cinema sound amp......I'll shut up now I'm not getting anywhere
