Yes i know what you mean,the mess and tangle of wires is going to be real fun,have to install a new dvd recorder,the timer has gone on the old one which is annoying because everything else with it is working fine
Probably will update the whole system within the next 2-4 years,hopefully there will be lots of wireless components by then but until then my old tv,sound system etc will do.

Put the new recorder in last week,everything seemed to be working fine but hadn't put the unit back up against the wall,thank god i hadn't,i was watching a dvd on the old player and then something started recording on the new player and an awful hum came across the speakers.I started moving some of the plugs around and then ended up having the hum either come across the new recorder or the old dvd recorder player and cd player.I ended up getting an it guy a friend of mine had used and he moved a few things around and its all working perfect now and it only cost me $55, so happy about that,it turned out that basically i had one set of plugs to many coming out of the amp into the new recorder.Once i get an new home theatre system and tv i'm going to get this guy in to set it all up,he was good.

we havea justice system??????

Do you guys remember the case of the Perth policeman who was left partially paralysed and then the scum who did got off???? Just when you thought it was over with him being awarded damages to cover his ongoing medical issues and to have a decent life and with first baby on the way, this happens......the lowlife who caused it is now sueing him & state government......here's the story..............SO NOT RIGHT!!!!!!!!

MATTHEW Butcher has had less than a fortnight to enjoy living with the comfort he wouldn't have to worry about the case that has dominated his existence for the past three years.

The police constable has fought for compensation since he was left partially paralysed after being struck on duty outside the Old Bailey Tavern in Joondalup.

Few West Australians have not seen and been horrified by the mobile phone footage of the "flying headbutt" that felled Constable Butcher.

On January 24, this year, he accepted a $3.3 million ex-gratia payment and ruled out suing the man who delivered the headbutt that has devastated his active police career and could have cost him his life.

Now he faces a new battle.

As first reported on PerthNow.com.au on Friday, Robert McLeod has launched civil action against Constable Butcher, WA Police and the State of Western Australia. He is seeking unspecified damages for personal injuries from "wrongful battery" when Constable Butcher used a Taser on him.

Robert's son Barry was the man filmed headbutting Constable Butcher. Barry was found not guilty of assault after arguing police used "unnecessary and excessive force" against him.

Robert, who suffered a heart attack during the fracas, and his other son, Scott, were also acquitted of assault charges on the same grounds.

Members of the McLeod family have previously threatened to sue police over the incident. Not too many people thought anyone would actually do so.

There are few cases where public support has swayed so far in one direction.

Mr McLeod's writ against Constable Butcher was filed with Perth District Court on Thursday, but already the community anger is strong.

By last night a poll on PerthNow of more than 7000 people showed almost nine in 10 didn't believe Robert McLeod should be suing Constable Butcher.

WA Police Union president Russell Armstrong said he was "disgusted" at the decision to take civil action and the union would assist Constable Butcher.

"Matt Butcher is the victim in this whole incident and it's very coincidental after Matt has received an ex-gratia payment that the McLeods have decided to sue," Mr Armstrong said. "The community of Western Australia will be extremely upset about this."

Constable Butcher yesterday told The Sunday Times he was "shocked" by the legal action.

"I've got nothing to hide, I didn't do anything wrong," he said.

Constable Butcher said he was not worried about the civil action, but was frustrated because both he and his wife, Katrina, were keen to close this chapter and move on with their lives.

"I was acting lawfully, performing my duties and I have absolutely nothing to hide whatsoever," he said.

"We were just looking forward to getting back to normal and being normal people again and living our lives again."

The McLeod family remain dismayed there is little public support for them despite their acquittals.

When they broke their silence to The Sunday Times in 2009 they said the hysteria surrounding their case was unwarranted and they wanted the public to understand the reasons why they were found not guilty.

During the court case Barry McLeod said he was genuinely sorry for the injuries caused to Constable Butcher.

"I feel terrible," he said. "I didn't mean for him to fall and bang his head. I didn't mean to hurt the guy.

"I didn't know we collided heads. I wish it had never happened. All I wanted to do was save my dad's life."

Everyone has the right to take legal action, but Robert McLeod's motives are not yet entirely clear.

It may simply be financial compensation he wants. This could take some time. Constable Butcher's compensation payout may be protected, but the case will likely drag through the courts for years.

Mr McLeod may also be seeking recognition that he was a victim and to further clear his family's name.

But whether he wins or loses, Mr McLeod is unlikely to win any public sympathy.

The only certain thing about his legal action is that it will prolong the uncertainty and emotional turmoil that Constable Butcher and his wife live with, potentially for many years to come.

I only hope I am still alive to see the inevitability of the human race turn on itself like the mass of canabalistic maggots it is. When we finally throw off the yoke of civilised oppression and see one another without laws, without morals, without values, with only our instincts, what a glorious day that will be to see the true human nature.

Chook.
