towe001 Posted June 26, 2009 Report Posted June 26, 2009 Felix, i do enjoy the job while the super isn't around and yeah i have been thinking of quitting but the thing is i don't really like the idea of leaving myself and the family high and dry with hardly any money while i'm finding another job. I've tried doing the thing of looking around while working but i'm just too loyal to the workplace i'm at even if i do hate the job Quote
Felix Posted June 26, 2009 Report Posted June 26, 2009 Towe, if you don't mind the place, how about the possibility of another position in the organisation? You might be able to talk to management, citing medical reasons for less physically demanding work and come to some sort of compromise. Really though, you are the one who has to live with the long term effects of back problems. Quote
towe001 Posted June 27, 2009 Report Posted June 27, 2009 Every ones grinding their gears around me at the moment including the cat even knowing that here i am half choking on my rotten farts, i've progressed way way past the rotten egg gas and now producing something even worse i'm still thinking its a barrel of laughs Shame on me :y: Quote
Tume Posted June 29, 2009 Report Posted June 29, 2009 WGMG: Finally finding the entire 4 series of The Pretender to find out that they are American region and won't play on anything in Australia so now they have to be returned. Its not really that bad but I am annoyed, must mean life for me is pretty good though. Quote
Felix Posted June 29, 2009 Report Posted June 29, 2009 Tume, do a search on google for a region unlock code for your dvd player. My missus has unlocked both our dvd players by doing this. Quote
trav_555 Posted June 29, 2009 Report Posted June 29, 2009 Yea or just play it on a computer with the region unlocked. Pretty sure you can change each dvd player in a computer a couple of times so just buy 2 or something. Travis Quote
Tume Posted June 29, 2009 Report Posted June 29, 2009 (edited) Cheers for that Felix, Did a quick search and all have asked for money to gain the 'information'. Also the authority of the household (Parents) have said not to anyway and they will try and find an Aussie version eventually. **Trav** Thats what I was planning on but parents are wanting Australian versions as complete series aren't exactly cheap to get.

Travis +1 pretty sure you can only change the region a max on 5 time if that, or atleast that what my two Panasonic DVD drives say I'm pretty sure both DVD drives are set to different regions awell Quote
7shades Posted June 29, 2009 Report Posted June 29, 2009 This ^^^ is why I only buy cheap nasty chinese DVD players. They play anything. NTSC, PAL, SECAM, any region, any file format, divx, mpeg, iso, whatever. Just chuck it in, and it plays. The obvious downside is they shit themselves in 6 months in an anticlimactic display of communist failure, so there's always going to be a few days between movies while you wait for your brand new replacement $29 player to arrive from Shenyang province.

trav_555 Posted June 29, 2009 Report Posted June 29, 2009 I just soft modded my xbox, plays any region and i can play movies, games, music anything off my 250gb hdd. Dvd drives are cheap as chips anyway and so are dvd players, you would be crazy to pay top dollar for any electronic equipment these days, there all probably made at the same company and will last just as long as the most expensive ones and most cheaper stuff has more features for less is waht ive found.

Hey Trav, got a link for the xbox mod you did? I wouldn't mind modding my kids xbox to save them scratching their games discs. Quote
