Just discovered I can half the time it takes me to do my ironing, it normally takes ages because I always stop afer about 3 items and find something better to do then go back to hit 10mins later. But today I was on my own in my uni halls so I stuck on Appetite for Destruction at full volume, 45mins later ironing is finished! (Including time for air guitar at key points)

You are a student:- a) With a car? I'm certain I never ironed anything when I was a student. Didn't wash much, either. Jonathan |

I think Jonathan has blown your cover. Clearly you can't be a student. Ironing? You'll be telling us you go to lectures next. Matt |

Simon,
"45mins later ironing is finished! (Including time for air guitar at key points)" Ok,lets see...... Appetite For Destruction is nearly 54 minutes in total. Minus Air Guitar solo's (approx one third of the album) This leaves approx 36 minutes of ironing time, Mmmmm....Not bad to do a pair of jeans and a "T" Shirt ! Regards Chris p.s. this is one of the albums I tend to use when going out on a saturday night,when all I want to do is Veg out in front of a Video....gets me more in the correct frame of mind. |

Sorry to disapoint you guys, but I do in fact attend lectures on a regular basis, but hey, when your studying your hobby it's easy. You shouldn't be so suprised that I iron my clothing either, I'M SINGLE! Although past girlfriends have said I spend too much time talking about Music and HiFi.
Simon - Music, the Ultimate Upgrade. P.S. Chris, how can you use Appetite for Desctrution to Veg out, far to many guitar brakes, Use Your Illusion II, I could see though, much more bluesy. |

Correct P. But different joke/nasty comment. Why do you keep deleting your posts? Has Mick broken your spirit too?

I find that when the iron is left to warm up for a few weeks it is much smoother. Make sure the cable is properly dressed and doesn't touch the ironing board at any point. Vuk has a design for an advanced ironing board on his web site. There is a review in this months Stereophile of the various 'super' waters you can buy if you have a steam iron, I recommend taking the Pro Ice Super Stream at £1000 per 100ml, or I could let you have some of mine.

Fox,
Err,I don't fancy attempting to veg out to Appetite for Destruction ....,its one of the albums used to get the energy pumping round the mind and body when I have to go out when I really don't want to. For Veg material,it really does depent on the mood I am in,currently it sems to be; Eva Cassidy - "Songbird". I have a VERY varied chill out tune section,the abouve is just the current "Fave-Rave"...(Very good though !) Regards Chris |

Works every time for me! Have you tried re-wiring the iron with NACA5! It works a treat, I have found normal wire tends to put to much presure on the Iron reducing its effectiveness. Obviously things have changed when I was a student I couldn't afford a hi-fi let alone a Naim. Could this be a cheap way of financing future hifi purchases, student loans. Axle for president!!! NB |

Hi,
I washed my motorbike in Pro Ice Super Stream and it went 10MPH faster and sounds like a 916. pete |

Hi Fox
Ignore all advice offered on irons so far.Super waters,cable changes and stands are only band aids used by these sad characters because they bought the wrong iron in the first place. The questions you need to ask yourself are more fundamental, like "am I involved with my iron?" "Do I iron every day?'," Would I rather iron than listen to music?", If the answer to any of these questions is no then quite simply you need to upgrade.At rhis point it is my sad duty to report that I know of only one iron which fulfills these criteria.Fashionable as it is to knock those of us in the "flat iron" movement , we simply cannot pander to personal taste or some misguided idiots ideas of choice. The only thing now for you to do is to go to the linn sight and Email them.Ask them for information on "how ironing can be more involving than listening to a Linn system" and be prepared to be amazed. paul duerden |

Of course the ultimate use for Pro Ice Super Stream is to use it for any cleaning you carry out on you hifi supports. The effect on Mana is supposedly incredible but if want to truely maximise the sonic performance you need to use the specially formulated Pro Slick Super Cleaning Agent, the results are mind blowing.

From the amount of time Chris spends ironing his shirts, I'd say the GnR album wouldn't see him through a sleeve.
He needs something like the Ring Cycle (or possibly the spin cylcle). |

Broken my Spirit?
I do not "borrow out" any of my most prized albums to anyone. Least alone not Randy and Ed and the Boys anyway. Regarding the deletion - I thought Bag o Shite sounded a bit rude too, not Nasty in any way - just rude so I deleted it. I am a BIG Steve Coogan Fan and went to college with someone from Selby who Paul Calf could've been based on - he used to say Bag of Shite all the time too!? Anyway I hope your sensibilities weren't too offended - It was Paul Calfs catchphrase though n'est pa? Best P |
