Title: AAAAaaaagggGGHHH!!
Post by: AndyR on March 11, 2009, 06:29:31 PM: [rant]
Is it just me? or, or...

GRR...

I've finally cracked over this...

Just took delivery of some nice new CDs.

Can I get into the bluddy plastic wrappers?!
It's nearly always the same... not always, but nearly...
It's the same with DVDs - but to a lesser extent, at least there you've got the bit where you can stick a finger in and get aggressive without damaging the box...

And then you get stickers - not in this case thankfully - I HATE stickers (except for the ones that come off easily without f*cking the item they are attached to)

B@ST@RDS!
[/rant]

... and ...

Relax...

Sigh... 8)

All done now..

Post by: _tom_ on March 11, 2009, 06:42:24 PM: Yeah I always end up breaking cases. Luckily the bronx album I received today had no plastic wrap :D

Post by: Will on March 11, 2009, 07:13:10 PM: Or you can use a big knife! I have managed to cut my index fingers 3 times in the past week though :?

I also hate it when the case cracks

Post by: dave_mc on March 11, 2009, 07:38:25 PM: yeah, those plastic wrappers are annoying. the worst is blank videos, when you're trying to get them opened before the program you want to record starts... race against time... :lol:

Post by: Johnny Mac on March 11, 2009, 08:00:55 PM: Sharp knife Andy. Keep calm so as not to cut fingers, your biggest asset apart from you know what and you don't want to cut that off. Large scotch. Stereo on...relax.

Post by: 38thBeatle on March 11, 2009, 08:32:38 PM: Try a bit of dynamite ( he he not too much now, you just want to get the wrapper off) easy peasy.

Post by: badgermark on March 11, 2009, 09:18:51 PM: I worked in a Woolworths a few years ago, and LOVED peeling the wrappings off. All the cheap CDs/DVDs were gutted and the disks kept behind the desk, so i spent many a blissful sunday peeling polythene wrappers.

yeah, but we didn't have to bargain with cr@ppy tv companies messing with the schedules all the time...
Title: Re: AAAAaaaagggGGHHH!!
Post by: MDV on March 12, 2009, 10:24:51 PM: I barely watch TV, I wouldnt know. Only have one because the landpeople I rent from put one in the house.

I'm sure a flint axe could open it without breaking it. Sharper than modern knives, I heard. Just get out in the garden and fnd a rock ;)
Title: Re: AAAAaaaagggGGHHH!!
Post by: dave_mc on March 12, 2009, 11:42:18 PM: yeah, flint's sharp as hell... one molecule thick at certain points (i think), if you're any good at making them.

No - just a typical start to a weekend PDT_023

Post by: MrBump on March 13, 2009, 03:44:20 PM: I sympathise, Andy.

I took delivery of Bucketheads Enter The Chicken just yesterday, and spent a silly amount of time trying to open the damn thing.

I'm sure that I remember them coming with little tags that made them easy to open, don't seem to do that anymore...
