Minor complaints thread (13 Viewers)

[Jerry Twig]

Probably belongs in the major complaints thread in the broader sense, but anyone want to lend me €100 for a SINGLE LP re-issue? The Miles Davis Quintet - Relaxin’ with the Miles Davis Quintet (Small Batch, One-Step Pressing)

Today I got a call to replace someone else for IPAF training (he was too feckless to get his online training done in time for his practical). The training centre was in the opposite direction of home. So traveled away from home for 90 minutes, did the thing, and then travelled back. At about 21:00 I again passed the place I spent all day working at. Two hours later I got home. No pay for the training, but I'm happy to have it. I actually tested passed and left before the other (new) guys had finished practicing on the machines. I felt like a bit of a prick about that. But the instructor insisted.

Studio computer fucked. Only a minor complaint cos it's just a computer.

And I have the money for a new one

 

[magicbastarder]

software or hardware issue?

You've got backups?

 

[GO]

software or hardware issue?

Hardware. Boot drive acting fucky and cmos battery flat as far as I can ascertain currently.

I have it booted..had to do a reinstall but its making all sorts of weird noises and just general weirdness going on

You've got backups?

I have all my important stuff on a 2tb platter inside the box...I need to make an additional backup..STRAIGHT AWAY.

My new album in stuck in there

Another ridiculous customs charge. Ok "this" is the last time I buy anything from the UK

I think it might just have been a dead cmos battery causing various gremlins.. although how it confused the uefi into thinking my boot drive was corrupt is a mystery, but computers can be fairly mysterious.

I popped a new battery in there and all seems to be right. Although now I have fresh install of windows to contend with but sure thats a small complaint indeed

Ed Sheeran wankers on the train.

Ooh got a bit of sunburn

Was supposed to go to Low tonight. First gig since covid shut things down.

Hurt my back on Sunday. Could notionally go if I strapped up my back, took a stick and endured the pain of driving/getting in/out of car and then hoped that no one made me make any sudden movements. So probably best that I don't.

Damn, I'd like to go to that and Shellac but we're having a tight month and with me not being able to see for driving and all that jazz. It's not going to happen.

Yeah, those Low moshpits mightn't be best place for a jiggered back

How is this the first I've heard shellac are playing?

I know someone who was involved in what I believe must be the only punch up in the crowd at a Low gig ever, in Scotland about 10 or 15 years ago. So I might bring the trouble by osmosis.

I wouldn't be confident of someone pushing past me on the way out ofthe venue afterwards not putting me in a heap TBH, getting old is shit.

I've offered my ticket to someone for free, I haven't heard back yet though. Do you want it if he doesn't? DM me with an e-mail address for ticket transfer if you do and it becomes available.

 

[dudley]

Low the last time out was one of the greatest things I've ever seen. Be worth a month in traction...

 

[GARYXKNIFEDX]

I nearly wish I'd not heard about the Shellac gigs.
Feeling like I'd be a right arse going so soon after covid.

Aw thanks man but I won't take you up on that.
I went to a gig on Saturday night and there was 8 people on the stage (spoiler, there was only 4)
