Baby, you don't have to be a picture in a magazine

A while ago I was grumbling about a black and white film which jammed my camera up. Having now got it developed, it turns out that it was rather worse than I thought, and the film actually never wound on properly at all. So each "frame" of the film contains sections of three or four intended photos.

Boots have developed the sections of film which weren't hopelessly overexposed, unexposed, or otherwise mangled, and chopped them up into fairly arbitrary frames. These are mostly useless, confused images of boats and trains and beaches.

However, one or two came out quite interesting. So, courtesy of an elderly SLR, a non-winding film, Boots, broadmeadow and his negative scanner, and a bit of imagination, I present:

Yeah! Liz has broke something again!!!!
Does anything of yours work properly?

[venta.livejournal.com]

Yes!
My pokey-in-the-eye finger works fine.

*poke*

And anyway, I refuse to be responsible for breaking the internet. I wasn't anywhere near it at the time!

If it makes you feel any better Discmen don't seem to like me - this one has developed exactly the same fault as the last one.
*sigh*

Ha! And you've got multiple comment disorder just like the rest of us.

Hopefully the new Discman is still young enough to be Taken Back and Grumbled About ?

The discman was bought on ebay and was working when I got it, so no I won't be getting my money back (though it did only cost me £5).
Suspect buying one from somewhere I CAN get my money back when this happens next time is probably a cunning plan even if it does cost me more money.

Probably worth it if they keep breaking :(

I've forgotten what was the problem with the old one. Is it something which might plausibly be caused by an aspect of your treatment of it ? Or just bad CD karma ?

Ah, having just seen your post, I remember.

At the risk of sounding patronising, you're sure it is the Discman itself, and not your headphones that's faulty ? Sounds like it might be loose connections in the headphone wires - and they're cheaper to replace than the whole thing!

[snow-leopard.livejournal.com]

I wish that was the answer!!!!
But no I tried that and it isn't.
*sigh*
You know anyone who wants two broken discmen?

Someone with a deranged creative side, and a strange taste in earrings ?

Not if the whole thing is five quid from eBay, they're not.

Well yes, but that comment was predicated on Snow_Leopard having just said she should get one from somewhere which would offer a refund in the even of Discman meltdown.

Do I mean predicated ? It sounds wrong.

[onebyone.livejournal.com]

Ah, I see. Sorry.

I think you do mean predicated.
