addicted to convenience
Hey up.
Yeah maplins is the replacement for Tandy-Radio Shack. They went bust in England as far as I'm aware, and Maplins sucks. They're sort of helpful in there, though I think its more individuals than policy. But they sell all this disempowering userfriendly confusion.
Its sort of like Mcdonnalds for electronics. I half thought it would be an American competitor that crushed tandy, but Radio Shacks still living in USA hey. Anyway they're sort of expensive, especially for IPO = £10...
As far as I knew it only costed a couple of pounds in the chemist, but when I went in they gave me some seriousley scrutinishing looks (I might pull off a certain tramp chiq, but thats cuz it costs so much to clean my equipment)
So if it is because of misuse, once again the powers that be have excelled themselves by raising the price and hiding the stuff... Cuz everyone knows its only the poor musicians who'll have enough dedication to put up a chase.
a couple of days later I found I was looking for rubbing alcohol (unrelated) not realising its main ingredient is IPO... cue same funny lies and staring (don't you just hate it when chemists bluff complete ignorance as though its going to disued your search) But it turns out that I can buy rubbing alcohol pretty cheaply for the corner shop at the end of my street.
Does anybody know how to seperate the isopropyl from the methanol or whaterver it is that makes it rubbing alcohol? I half expect the lotion content would be pretty fatal to its IPO content???
Anyway, thats enough of my hard work and secret information given up for free.
see ya
