discussion Well, that's lucky

It's important that we know these things. This may not be Nobel Prize material, but it proves that the scientific method is alive and well on our ever more scientifically isolated islands :smiling3:

Not so sure about that Steve. I just bought a box set of DVDs. There are nine programmes so naturally they put two programmes on each of four DVDs with just the odd one on the fifth. You'd think they'd have them in sequence 1 + 2; 3 + 4; 5 + 6; 7 + 8; and 9 wouldn't you?

No such luck. They've got them 1 + 4; 2 + 5; 3 + 6; 7 + 8; and 9. I suppose I can count myself lucky they didn't pair 7 + 9 and leave 8 on its own!

Very strange? Makes absolutely no sense.
Vinyl double albums (usually pop stuff) sometimes used to be like that….side one paired with side three and side two paired with side four, but at least they had good reason. You could stack them on a multi player and get side one followed by two, then flip them for three and four. The multiplayer made them sound rubbish, but at least you didn’t have to get up to change the record….

Not everything is available on streaming Jakko .
Also, if what you want is on a pay per view site it’s usually cheaper to buy a physical copy second hand….

....... mind you,i`m speaking as one who still says,"I`m taping that"...... when referring to the fact that i`ve set the Sky Q Box to "Record Series link"!!....:flushed::tears-of-joy:

When I get to the point where I don’t think I’ll watch the DVD again I just pass them on to charity shops Andy.

I suspect it could be because of the file size of the different episodes, which might have made combining 1 and 2 on a single DVD impossible.

I was pretending to be young there

This is what torrents are for

A sign at an outdoor swimming pool in France told me " no holding breath underwater".

As somebody pointed out to me, car manuals used to have information on setting the tappets, changing wheels etc.
Now they say, 'Do not drink the battery acid'.....

That’s just bad American influence, IMHO. Here’s another one in that category (the fragment that it starts playing at, I mean):
