    Ooooo - Lowthers. Now there's a Marmite Speaker if ever I heard one!

    Love 'em or hate 'em - you can't ignore 'em!

    Nice looking system.

    Welcome George! Enjoy your times here

    Just caught the post above. How dare you be so patronising regarding CD players Marco! My player was better than the likes of yours at the time, even though it probably isn't now as you've had so much done to it..

    Tear down these walls; Cut the ties that held me
    Crying out at the top of my voice; Tell me now if you can hear me

    If one of us is, it's definitely not me.

    I can't be doing with a room with no books in, though. In our house there's barely a surface in any room that's not got stacks of books on it.
