And of course, it's specific to the car and built into the dash so you can't just swap it. I could put a multi cd player in the boot but it would tie up the auxiliary socket for the ipod!
Some security eh! But I do have the code. I got the lads at Ford to remove the radio for me this morning as I didn't have the tools to do it (looked like 4 nail files with rings on the end). I stripped it and took out the only CD that was in it but still the same problem when I reconnected. But the radio stations were still programmed so it probably wasn't powered down for long enough. We'll give it a wee while now.
My Mondeo has one of these but is displaying a CD fault message and not allowing me to insert, retrieve or play CDs. I have had the lid off it to remove the CDs that were in it but it still displays the CD Error message.
Does anybody know who would repair this type of thing. It costs £ 180 stg second hand to replace on ebay so it's worth repairing if possible.
In Glasgow, it was bread and jam. It was called the jeelly piece club! Jeely being jam and a piece being a sandwich. There's still a saying in Scotland for a charmer...He'd get a piece at any door. ( Your pals mums used to feed you too!) Sorry about the bitterness on a light hearted thread about the previous Irish poster.
I seem to remember my sisters linking all different colours of elastic bands together and using them to jump between. I think it was called Chinese Ropes. Then there was ordinary skipping ropes that the girls either did on their own the way boxers do or with two friends. And then the fun they would have with a tennis ball and a wall or another one with a rubber ball attached to a loop round one of their ankles. Innocent times indeed and not so much as a battery in sight.Innocent times. (Until we all got cassette recorders with C90 tapes and the tech age began.)
Jimbo, aren't Greece doing what our politicians didn't have the balls to do in the first place? Is this not showing up Cowen, Kenny and the rest as the spineless sheep that they are.
CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL MY FRIENDS WHO WERE BORN IN THE 1940's, 50's, 60's and 70’s First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank Sherry while they carried us and lived in houses made of asbestos... They took aspirin, ate blue cheese, bread and dripping, raw egg products, loads of bacon and processed meat, tuna from a can, and didn't get tested for diabetes or cervical cancer. Then after that trauma, our baby cots were covered with bright coloured lead-based paints.
We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets or shoes, not to mention, the risks we took hitchhiking. As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags. We drank water from the garden hose and NOT from a bottle. Take away food was limited to fish and chips, no pizza shops, McDonalds , KFC, Subway or Nandos. Even though all the shops closed at 6.00pm and didn't open on a Sunday, somehow we didn't starve to death! We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and NO ONE actually died from this. We could collect old drink bottles and cash them in at the corner store and buy Toffees, Gobstoppers and Bubble Gum. We ate cupcakes, white bread and real butter, milk from the cow, and drank soft drinks with sugar in it, but we weren't overweight because...... WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!! We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on. No one was able to reach us all day. And we were O..K. We would spend hours building our go-carts out of old prams and then ride down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. We built tree houses and dens and played in river beds with matchbox cars. We did not have Playstations, Nintendo Wii , X-boxes, no video games at all, no 999 channels on SKY , no video/dvd films, or colour TV no mobile phones, no personal computers, no Internet or Internet chat rooms..........WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them!
We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no Lawsuits from these accidents.
Only girls had pierced ears!
We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever.
You could only buy Easter Eggs and Hot Cross Buns at Easter time....
We were given air guns and catapults for our 10th birthdays,
We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just yelled for them! Mum didn't have to go to work to help dad make ends meet because we didn't need to keep up with the Jones's!
Not everyone made the rugby/football/cricket/netball team. Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that!! Getting into the team was based on MERIT
Our teachers used to hit us with canes and gym shoes and throw the blackboard rubber at us if they thought we weren't concentrating .. We can string sentences together and spell and have proper conversations because of a good, solid three R's education. Our parents would tell us to ask a stranger to help us cross the road. The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law!
Our parents didn't invent stupid names for their kids like 'Kiora' and 'Blade' and 'Ridge' and 'Vanilla'
We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned HOW TO DEAL WITH IT ALL !
And YOU are one of them! CONGRATULATIONS! You might want to share this with others who have had the luck to grow up as kids, before the lawyers and the government regulated our lives for our own good. And while you are at it, forward it to your kids so they will know how brave their parents were.
Jaysus Jimbo. I tried to do the same with booze and it had the opposite effect. It certainly gave me wings but I didn't notice at the same time, it was taking away the sky.

Guy Fawkes is a night when we should all enjoy a good bang.
