Just been mending a Technics stack system with a 5 disc multichanger CD / DVD unit. Changer was jammed. The disc that was jamming it was a CD called "Church Bells of Kent". Fair enough. And what was the other disc in the stack ? A DVD called "Ben Dover's Dirty Blondes" !!!!
When I'd wiped the tears away, I played it. Very good it was too ...

So did you watch the DVD, too?
I'm copying it right now for all my mates ... :-)

Actually it's "Church Belles of Kent".

LOL ! Yeah, that I could have bought, but the disc is *genuinely* bloody church bells - 14 tracks of 'em - clanging away in the awful dischordant way that they have ...
That's what made me laugh so much about the whole situation. The owner must have been mortified when it jammed up his player, leaving the dirt DVD stuck inside. I will make a point of wrapping it in a sheet of paper, marking it "Owner's Discs Enclosed", and taping it to the outside of the unit, just so's he knows when he comes into the shop, that we've all had a good look and a larf at his expense !
Takes you back to the days of VCRs with the carriage crowbarred out, and a flustered owner claiming that he just *had* to get the tape out, because it was due back at the video rental shop :-)

LOL! A story worthy of the much missed LLJ Arfa. Come to think of it, maybe we should have an annual Les Lawry-Johns award for the "best customer tale". Aaah, those were the days.....

I used to remove some really nasty tapes jammed in customer VCRs.
