Can't listen to todays show again? Starts playing but no audio

[foot-loose]

have you turned your speakers on?

[Console]

And if they are on, turn them off and on again and try again.

It won't work, as the audio stream is silent, but it will make you look stupid.

May do a hard boot of my speakers out of the window! Listen again is working for every other day, apart from the one I want............. the law of SOD

[ladbroke]

As far as I'm aware exactly the same. Toast falling buttered side down etc......

[Console]

I think there is a difference between Murphy's law and Sod's law; Murphy's law states that 'whatever can go wrong, will go wrong' (this is actually paraphrasing the original largely, but that's only because I can't remember the original at present), while Sod's law is more about a really bad/annoying thing happening when you can handle it the least, so it's more about timing. As for the toast thing, that's not Sod's/Murphy's lay, but just maths and physics; table heights are all pretty similar and, at the speed that a piece of toast is generally knocked off the edge of said table, it only has time to complete a half turn, therefore landing butter-side down.

Maths and physics aside, things happen when you wish they wouldn't. Toast falling buttered side down or listen again not working!

It's working now, but the levels are all over the place.

Am I right in thinking that if you were to butter the toast and then turn it upside down you would protect yourself against the whole 'butter side down on the carpet' scenario? (yes the butter would probably get stuck to the plate and stuff)

A better method would be to not put the toast on the edge of a table, but your way should work too. Infact, the 'sticky-ness' could stop the toast from sliding off of the table all together.

Only eat butter.

There's no complex carbs in that either, therefore it must be good for you. Ask Haggis!



Im being a right sarcy f*cker today.

Did none of you watch Mythbusters? This is a myth, it worked out 50/50 when the tried it with about 300 pieces for buttered toast
