    Okay the Hairdressers nextdoor is blasting out Xmas Music which they have now been playing the same CD for the past 2 days - My fellow office inmate and I are trying to work out how to destroy the music sytem by remote - any ideas please.

    Technically speaking the dictionary would define Visual Basic users as programmers.
    But here again, a very generalized, liberal definition is being employed and it's wrong

      Perhaps the old fashioned way will work best? Book an appointment, accidently slip and knock the hi-fi off it's table? Then look sad and cute... :cool:


      I knew it would end badly when I first met Chris in a Canberra alleyway and he said 'try some - it won't hurt you'..... - Christian Graus on Code Project outages Damned nice for remote servers where using Enterprise Manager is like wadding through treacle while covered in velcro, upside down -Paul Watson on SQL Server Query Analyser

        Build a gigantic electro magnet, and frazzle it with EMP (of course you'd have to turn off everything electrical in your office first...) -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit!

          Or go in wearing earplugs, and turn it up so loud that it blows the speakers -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit!

              Okay, here's how you do it...build a remote control flying creature (like a bee, bees are nice) and load it with a small amount of explosive material. Fly it near the music system, detonate, and no more Xmas music. Okay, maybe I'm starting to lose it since bedtime was 6 hours ago. Brad Jennings

                      Hmm, something off topic, completly unrelated, possibly unnatural - why not ask them politely to turn it off/down? :confused:

Its becoming a long pitch battle... this Hairdresser only has the memory span of 20mins - I think it is some sort of protection mehanism so they can repeat the same conversations ad-nauseam (we know as they then have to shout these conversations/stories over the noise of the music and driers)
