I don't believe it. After the hold-up with my copying CDs for people because I had bought a batch of faulty CDs (from PC World), the new batch I have bought elsewhere and had delivered are also faulty. Can anyone recommend a reputable CD supplier that has good quality CDs at a decent price ? In the meantime, the current production job will be on some Philips CDR-Q audio disks. Hope these are OK !

Tim, I buy mine from Pricebuster.org. where you can buy a spindle of 50 TDK CDRs for a tenner. They have a shop in Praid St, Paddington if you want to save on the fixed £6.95 shipping fee (cash only in shop and quote What Hi-Fi advert.) http://www.pricebuster.org.uk/

Cheers, I'll get up there and get some. Just ordered 100 Verbatim ones from CDMedia.com or whatever it is, so they should arrive soon and normal service will be resumed. Bonus CD thrown in for all patient CD receivers !

Shit. I bought a spindle of 50 Imation CD-R's from Argos last weekend for £13.99, any idea if those are safe? Before that I bought 30 (for the price of 20) Packard Bell in cases from PC World for £12.50. Seem to have worked OK (at least, I haven't had any complaints yet....).

I've only ever had the one Packard Bell one go wrong. Don't trust PC Line though - absolute shite. First batch was recordable on both sides - once recorded on you could wipe a hole straight through with your finger!

...look Julijana, what I've found...

When It Rains, It Pours ( it hasn't happened for a long time, and then it happens all at once ... )

"when it rains, it pours"

When it rains, it pours describes how after there has been no rain for a long time, it suddenly rains a lot all at once. Example: "It hadn't rained for over two months. Now it has started raining and it has been raining for a week straight." Reply: "When it rains, it pours."

When it rains, it pours means that once something happens after a long pause, it happens in large amounts. Example: "It looks like everyone in our department is sick again, and all at the same time." Reply: "When it rains, it pours."

When there is a lot of rain all at once we say that it is pouring. Some people say, It never rains, but it pours; the meaning is the same as When it rains, it pours. Example: "Sometimes we have no customers for two or three hours, then suddenly we get 20 people all at once." Reply: "It never rains, but it pours."
