yahoo lottery?

Author: admin  //  Category: sound recording london

So I got this email about winning a yahoo lottery and the email asked me for simple things like my name address phone number and age. Well sad to say I sent it then I got freaked and looked it up. I found it is a scam but here is the thing this guy started calling me at 11pm last night over and over again and he was still calling today I freeze when I hear his voice he has a very deep voice with an accent and he sounds like he is using a voice changer. He said his name is Mahamad. Then I just hang up. What do I do, Do you think this is dangerous should I worry that he might come over to my house? He gave me a London number to call on the email I tried calling it and it just is a guy (that sounds like him) on a recording saying hello Just really scared anyone have any thoughts on this besides me being stupid for even falling half way for it. I already called my bank and they said I didn't give him any info that he couldn't get out of a phone book to try and use to get in my account

He is a stalker, might be a terrorist also because he's name is Mohamad, its al qaida's popular name. Call police before something happens to you. If i were you, i'll tell to the police station now.

Ageism to teenagers around the ?

Author: admin  //  Category: sound recording london

Okay, so i am 15 and i have had enough of being treated like crap because i am a teenager, i get treated like a criminal, watched like a hawk by shop staff (If I manage to get in). Busses drive straight past us. And the worst of all, “mosquito’s” are frequently used around london (witch is basically a ultra sound device) that only people under around 25 can hear (horrible noise that i can’t stand). We generally get looked down upon by general public. I want to show that not all teenagers are automatically anti-social youths that will stop at noting but to rob all of your valuables and shoplift.

Well, we are making a youtube partision to shake off the image of rival teens, we are going to go around london with out trusty camcorder, record all the signs on stops saying “1 student at a time” or alike, and interview shop staff, the more abuse the better for the film! So we know a few places around our school and friends, but were asking londoners to tell us where the shops are with the signs and mosquitos ect…

So thanks,

Brian

If you haven’t posted this in a section other than “Mythology/Folklore” then I’d suggest you give that a try. I doubt you’re going to get the kind of answers you’re looking for in this section.

Good Luck! :o )

VIZ Letters?

Hats off to the England cricketers for their achievements in the Ashes this summer, which rightly earned Andrew 'Freddie' Flintoff BBC Sports personality of the Year. Winning a two-team tournament against a nation with a much smaller population once in every ten attempts, then never shutting up about it makes me proud to be British.

The government tells us that we are eating too many pies and dying of heart disease, then in the next breath they're telling us we are living too long and there'll be no more pension money left for us. I wish they'd make their minds up.

'Alton Towers – Where the magic never ends', or so the commercial says. Imagine my disappointment when it closed at 7.30.

I am married to a Taiwanese lady, and people often ask me if she was a mail-order bride. I find this very insensitive. The Royal Mail lose around 2 million letters and parcels each year, and to suggest that I would trust the delivery of my wife to them is insulting in the extreme. She was sent by DHL next day delivery.

The record companies would have us believe that the money made by CD pirates goes to fund the drug industry. But the money rock stars make from legal record sales ends up in exactly the same place. When they stop breaking the law, so will I.

Peter Andre might look smug in all his wedding pictures, but I'd just like to remind him that, as a Playboy reader, I have seen his wife's m!nge. He hasn't seen my wife's, so who's had the last laugh?

On holiday a few years back, I took part in a quiz and managed to reach the final only to lose out after what I consider to this day, to be a correct answer. The question asked 'What 'C' would you associate Jeremy Clarkson with?' to which I confidently replied '<unt'. Not only was I told the answer was incorrect, but I was asked by the holiday rep to leave the premises immediately! Has anyone else experienced such appalling treatment whilst holidaying with one's family?

My friend's mum recently pointed out that I have the same ironing board cover as her. Can anyone think of a more mundane and pointless remark to make than this?

I'll never understand my neighbour. He has recently started wheel-clamping his own caravan when he finds he has inadvertently parked it in his own drive! I wonder if he is a sadist, a masochist or both.

On the BBC website, I read with interest that some scientists in Australia have discovered the smallest fish known to exist. They've obviously never been to the Britannia Chippy on the Gloucester Road

Hats off to the American police. They arrive at Michael Jackson's Neverland ranch to arrest him a mere six months after he admits climbing into bed with young boys on worldwide TV. Perhaps they should get some faster cars.

How come rap artist Dr. Dre can use the 'N' word on his multi-million selling albums and win a MOBO award, yet when I used it at my son's football match I was asked to leave the park? Once again, it's one law for the rich and another for the poor.

The government says that there are nearly 50,000 people with HIV in Britain, a third of whom do not even know that they have it. Is it just me, or is it a bit harsh that the government know and haven't told the poor sods?

Never mind ventriloquists like Keith Harris and Roger DeCourcey. What about Professor Stephen Hawking? I saw him on telly blathering on about galaxies for hours and I never saw his lips move once. Genius.

With reference to that series "Manhunt" where ex-Special Forces soldiers try to hunt down Andy McNab. Why don't the producers include a couple of Iraqis in the hunting team? They found the tw*t quickly enough the last time he played hide and seek with them.

Hats off to the witty burglars who stole my entire CD collection with the exception of "There is Nothing Left to Lose" by the Foo Fighters. I hope that when sentencing, the judge takes into account their splendid sense of humour.

I see on the news that Lord Hutton says he is "satisfied that David Kelly took his own life". He may not have liked Dr Kelly that much, but isn't this taking gloating just a little too far?

Is my Sharp VHS recorder worth repair, model VC-MH705HM?

Author: admin  //  Category: sound recording london

The picture has disappeared. I can record and play back in sound only and there is no playback picture with previously well recorded material. Also I cannot access a menu. If this is recognised immediately as a defect for which there is a ready replacement part it may be worth repair but if the problem needs investigation an effort to repair is probably uneconomical. Any recommended Sharp – note capital letter on Sharp please – agents known please in (SE) London?
Thank you to James M for his advice but I award best answer to the immediately preceeding answerer

No buddy, just buy a new one or go digital.

Flatshare Deposit Question?

Author: admin  //  Category: sound recording london

Hi, I am moving into a Flatshare in London next week, and the current housemates have said I need to pay a deposit (£470) into the account of the person moving out. And then pay my first months rent when I move in.

Is this normally how it works, paying a deposit into somebodys account with no record sounds dodgy to me.

Neil

Just don't pay anything until you've received your contract which states what you've already paid and what remains to be paid, and ask for a receipt too. If all is above board there should be no problem with them providing these things – they're your basic rights as a tenant.

I recieved a portable record player from my grandmother about 30 years ago. It is an emersom it from england?

Author: admin  //  Category: sound recording london

it plays 45,33,78 onc-batteries. the case is made of brass and what i believe to be onyx .It is about ten inches long by four inches wide and you open it up to place the record on it's playing disk and you close the lid with the arm resting beside the lid and it stands on three tripod legs with the speaker on the bottom.It is an emerson from London England. Oh one more thing it runs on four c-batteries sounds great need to know the year,and it's value

You can go under a search engine and look up the record player. if its old enough and its still in working condition i could be worth a pretty penny but im not sure. try the emersom website or do a search for price value of the record player or better yet try lookign up on antique websites just in case

L.A.X.-Preview & Review…Are you gonna buy it?

Author: admin  //  Category: sound recording london

had tp make a form of a q…but… from this sample review it sounds pretty nice…and track 9 sounds ILL!!!!

Yo Radio had a chance to go to Universal Records London office to hear The Game’s highly anticipated third studio album L.A.X.. I know it's just one persons opinion, and I know we haven't heard it yet, but after reading this I really think this album is gonna be crazy! Here is the review…

Below are my notes on each track. Please note this is not the final track list order.

1. L.A.X.

Produced by JR Rotem

Big intro, he spits some BARS on this track talks about being gangster, very west coast bouncy production!

2. State Of Emergency feat. Ice Cube

Produced by JR Rotem

Crazy beat again, very west coast, another big tune, the only thing I could have asked more for was a verse from Ice Cube – he was only on the chorus ‘California ain‘t a state it‘s an army‘(they didn’t play the whole track so he might have a verse at the end hopefully). Game has stepped his lyrics up even more so far on this album.

3. Dope Boys

Produced by 15 or Nothin’

I’m not gonna lie when I first heard this track I wasn’t impressed, but I think I must have gone mad cos this track is a BANGER! Most people would have heard this track already it’s got a very rocky feel with Travis Barker on the drums.

4. House Of Pain

Produced by DJ Toomp

This was one of the standouts for me, guitar rocky beat again. Game has definitely stepped up lyrically on this album. Another bouncy track with a load of quotables. Dj Toomp done his job with the beat!

5. Heaven

Produced by Jelly Roll

Another standout this track is serious, Game does some singing on the chorus. This could be a single for me a more introspective track than what’s been heard so far.

6. My Life feat. Lil Wayne

Produced by Cool & Dre

This is the next single, another introspective track. Talks about The Game’s struggles in his life. Very serious. Lil Wayne’s singing on the hook ‘Dear lord you took so many of my people but why havn’t you taken my life’. Beats serious as well very dark piano beat

7. Bullet Proof Diaries feat. Raekwon

Produced by Jell Roll

Very funky westcoast beat. Another standout. Raekwon does his thing on this. The chorus reminds me of the Ruff Ryders ’World War 3’ track – ‘Where you from, New York’…………BIG TUNE

8. Cali Sunshine

Produce by Nottz

This track is ok, I think I might have to hear it again. The Game`s talking about 50 getting robbed, Suge Knight getting punched up. For me Nottz is a serious producer but I wasn’t really feeling this track it might be a grower though.

9. Never Say Goodbye

Produced EP

Another highlight. At the start Biggie’s talking about his shock of hearing Eazy E death. Then it cut’s to the radio talking about the death of Biggie and Tupac. First verse The Game raps with Tupac’s flow and second verse he spits like Biggie, he SMASHES it! They faded out the track after the second chorus so I’m not sure if he does another verse.

10. Ye Heard feat. Ludacris

Produced by Nottz

This track is SERIOUS! The beat is stupid, probably the best beat on the album for me. Very Funky bouncy beat. The Game does his thing lyrically, he talks about being looked over and being too gangster to win a grammy but Ludacris SMASHES IT, one of the verses of the year for me, too many quotable ‘So many flags I thought I was in Russia…….’

11. Gentlemans’ Affair feat. Ne-Yo

Produced by JR Rotem

To be honest I thought this was the weakest track for me, it’s got a mellowy summery vibe. It’ll probably do well on radio but I wasn’t really feeling it compared to the tracks I heard before.

12. Angel feat Common

Produced by Kanye West

When I saw the line-up for this I thought this track would be SERIOUS but at first it didn’t grab me, the beat didn’t sound like a Kanye West beat at all, it followed the west coast bouncy production of the rest of the tracks. Common and The Game done their thing lyrically and I think it was john Legend on the chorus. Everyone else in the room was feeling this track though to be fair, it’ll probably grow on me(still a big tune though I was just expecting a classic)

13. Camera Phone feat. Ne-Yo

Produced by Cool & Dre

This sounds like it could definitely be a single, I could imagine this being huge, double time beat.

14. Money

Produced by Cool & Dre

This one is definitely for the streets, similar vibe to Rick Ross ‘Push It’, talks about money. This will be BIG another highlight! I could imagine rappers freestyling over this beat on mixtapes for years!

15. Breaking Rules feat. Busta Rhymes

Produced by Scott Storch

Minimalist beat, everyone in the room was feeling this track. Got a similar vibe to ‘Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Can See’. Good track

16. Letter To The King feat. Nas

Produced by Hi-Tek

One of my favourite tracks. The track is an ode to Martin Luther King and the civil rights movement. Very introspective, they both talk about when they were younger overlooking the struggle but now realising the power. The beat is crazy, Hi Tek does his job. Nas and The Game make great tracks together, they both have featured on each others current and previous albums and each track for me has been a standout!

Pain – they didn’t play Pain because everyone’s heard it all ready

Big Dreams – The people at Universal said this maybe a bonus track their not sure at the moment
collabs w/ Luda and Nas should be nice
August 26th…i'm pretty sure

and it's not mine..the paragraph at the very beginning states who it is….i haven't heard anything yet besides games pain

The 3 tracks I was most looking forward to you gave quite good reviews. Well apart from 'Angel', I really wanted big things for that because of Common, but if the beat isn't good, that's a shame.

The other two – 'State of Emergency' is really bugging me now, I really want to hear that… and the most anticipated song 'Letter to the King' got the review I wanted to hear… wasn't Talib Kweli meant to be on this track?
