I replaced a hi-fi stack with a box about 4 inches square…
And a gurt server in the machine room of course.

I didn’t know, or rather, was uncertain, where that was. I looked it up & my assumption … immaculate or otherwise … was correct.
“With fewer than 100,000 residents, Limerick, which straddles the mouth of the River Shannon, has been trying for years to live down its reputation as “Stab City”, a nickname acquired a decade ago because of a spate of fatal knife attacks in a time of high unemployment … .”.
Since then the violence in the city has escalated.
2 Feb 2007"
So, the inference that high unemployment caused it warrants challenging then.
Personally I always put it down to bad, uncontrolled people, with knives.

I’m always bemused by the pro-gun argument that “If you criminalise guns, only criminals will have guns”.
It also makes them considerably easier to identify.

Am back
Yon Bull is in techie heaven
A full cinema surround sound set of speakers and all the amp gubbins and satellite speakers including blueteeth jobbies for R4 in the garden (he knows how to persuade me that his sound system is a good thing!)
The speakers for the living room had been diverted so Bose will be sending repacements
A proper music shop with great audio kit and musical instruments
I refrained from getting a bongo kit for B’s weeans
That shows how fond of her I am

That’s the one
The nice man who runs it has a date with me to investigate gin bars in the city…
Do I drive everyone I meet to gin?

I hope not. You don’t want to be the driver every time.
Did a fair bit of business with Savins back in the day. Think I bought my first PA there, about thirty years ago.

This is a Bose system, I think you said?
It’s pretty nifty, actually. The mic is used to do an automatic EQ of the room. There will shortly be (or, by now, probably has already been) a lot of hissing and rumbling as the room is flooded with pink noise. The system automatically calibrates to compensate for the room acoustics. It’s a good excuse to clear out and partake of something to calm your nerves…
I’ve had to do this manually in the past; it is a right royal pain. Worse, the measurements are always done in an empty hall, so the characteristics are completely different for the actual performance. At least, you hope they are…
