hirezI [heart] pottering round Bristol by push-bike. One gets to see much more of the works of the city that way.
So anyway, Joe Maplins handed over a replacement PSU with nary a comment. (and later the box in question came back w/o mithering about the state of the disk. Result!)
Flushed with success, I stopped off at a handy push-bike shop and bagged one of these. And very satisfactory it is too, in a geeky tool-fetish manner.
In other news, the Two Lone Swordsmen album, 'The Double Gone Chapel', becomes finer every time I play it. It lurches in an endearing and louche manner between JD and PIL-influenced post-punk, strange and loping dub, and a very stoned New Order (circa Movement) playing with a squitty 303. The cover of 'Sex beat' is a fine thing and should be played at clubs everywhere, if only to give cloth-eared trads The Fear.

Date: 2004-05-23 06:29 pm (UTC)http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/default.asp is also one of my favourite places to go. They're a surly bunch of buggers on the 'phone, but their prices are a benchmark and returns policy second-to-none.
"I broke the wotsit on the bit of kit I bought from you last week. How can I get a replacement?"
"Stick it in the post and I'll send you another"
"No: I broke it trying to install it"
"Yeah: stick it in the post and I'll send you another"
"Oh... OK... Thanks!"
