If you can't stand the heat, keep out of the kitchen :))

I got some cash out of that cash machine outside Barry's in Barry Road . At the bottom of the advice slip, it says "Season's Greetings from everyone at Bank Machine" :))

It's a lovely mural, and the outside of the shop looks very smart.

Hope you're OK now, Ontherun? ETA: I have only been to A&E once, and on that occasion too the staff were absolutely fantastic.

Ta - will check it out!

Thanks - haven't tried swype yet ....

I have now had a response from my email to Sony, with instructions to reset the device and if that does not work, to get back to them. There was no mention of condensation ..... Fox, there is no "device door", but thanks for your help. Actually, you had jumped over suggestion 6, which is what Sony have now suggested. Fingers crossed .... but resetting sounds ominous. All my settings down the drain .... oh well. Needs must. I think I'll wait till after Christmas, to minimise my stress levels :)) ETA: Luckily, just also seen this advice: "IMPORTANT: Sony does not recommend the use of over-the-counter CD/DVD player lens cleaners."

Usually I curse predictive text, which comes up with ridiculous options, but over the last few weeks it seems to be psychic, oo-er. Just typed in "Will" as the first word of a text, then "d" - and it came up with "discuss", which was what I wanted to type. How the f*** did it know that?? Surely not coincidence? And it can't be from my old texts, as I don't usually say "will discuss" in texts :))

GRRRRRRR. Christmas is expensive enough without having to replace things :(

Can anybody who has switched surgeries suggest a viable alternative to DMC in the same catchment area? With equally good GPs but a very much better admin system?

Thanks Jah Lush, yes unfortunately that seems right :( I'll try the cleaning first. :)) :)) :)) to The Curtain and The Asterisked One. Actually the music player is probably worth more than my car :)) Foxy, does that sound like a good solution to you?!!! I sit in my car with the door open for an hour? This time of year, it's more likely to suck moisture into the CD player!!! The unit stays in my house when I'm not in the car, so I think it's highly unlikely that it's anything to do with condensation. CDs were playing fine last time I used it. ETA: Push comes to shove, I can transfer all the demos to a memory stick and play them in the car from that, but sometimes life is just too short, innit.

Yeh thanks, had googled before posting on here. It came up with nothing apart from what I already knew :(

I have a Sony car music thing which has suddenly stopped playing CDs. It gives a message "read" (so it appears to recognise that there's a CD there), then "error". It's fine playing music from a memory stick or from the radio, it's just CDs that won't play. Obviously I have tried various CDs in it, but none of them will play. I've tried taking the whole unit out and putting it back a few times, with no effect. I have tried emailing Sony but have had no response (not surprised as their supposed "help" website appears to be total crap). Any ideas? It's about five years old but it was quite expensive so I am not keen to replace it, however I need a car CD player to listen to demos when on longish journeys. Haven't yet tried cleaning the head (or whatever it's called) as I have no idea where my CD head cleaning CD is as it hasn't been used for years :)) I bought it from the car music place in Bellenden Road, so unless anybody has any bright ideas I will see if they can help, but it's well out of its guarantee period :(
