Back in 1980something I used to own a Cambridge CD2 whilst it was still in the hands of Stan Curtis and he thoughtfully put an error LED on the front panel. This LED would flash when the CD2 processed a fault on the disc. The problem with this system was that it made one extremely paranoid about discs. It got to the point where I would hold up my brand new CD's to the light and checkout all of the pin holes in the foil. This was done before I had even played the damn things and this was back in '88 so this is nothing new. These days I just can't be bothered anymore. I prefer vinyl.

Dazzled? I'm totally blinded.

I might just as well shoot myself now; and things have got worse since I rushed out to W H Smith to grab the latest edition of The Lancet.

Judge, if you will, of my disappointment after many scourings of the contents to find no reference to Baggy's Dermatological Skin Syndrome. I was sure this discovery would merit at least a major editorial contribution and probably a trip to Helsinki but not a peep. It seems that the British medical establishment is as reactionary as ever and the pharmaceutical industry again is failing to recognise a huge marketing opportunity. If my modest collection of CDs exhibits such a high incidence of epidermal sarcoma, the national, indeed international proportions must exceed the pandemic.

Numbers sufficient to launch a class action against you-know-who.

Baggy old chap....

Much like your very deserved Nobel Prize, I think a class action is long overdue.

However, I think that it would be easier to squeeze the entire "law team" for Sony and Phillips through one of your pinholes mate.

P.S. Do I and the team here, get a mention in this forthcoming Zurich junket???

I dibs "shotgun"; on the grounds that I really would pull the trigger, and put a little buckshot into the little corporate silvery(or bronzed) buttocked execs who sold us a pup.......
