Right, own up. Which of you people knows where the face to my brother's car CD player is?

He's very upset. He spent about £200 on the CD player (it has no knobs or buttons of any kind, it's entirely remote controlled, wow!), and another £200 or so on the subwoofer (it's number 2) and everything hooked up to it. And that was at cheaper online install it yourself prices. And now it's all a bit useless, really.

It's not just that it's used up loads of his hard earned apprentice mechanical engineer wages, but he's spent ages installing it and tweaking it and getting the balance perfect. If someone did take it, I hope they... can't think of a suitable thing to say there. Die horribly? No, that's not it. You fight like a dairy farmer, you horrible person you.

He left it at college, probably. Which college? Hmm, it's a technical college, I think. It was at Basildon, but now it's at Thurrock. I think they have two campuses. (Good clues, eh?) He must have left it by his bag instead of in it, unless someone took it out of his bag. It'd be fairly pointless to take a face though. So he probably left it there. So someone must have found it. Mustn't they? They're not going to be reading this though. Unless something really weird and coincidental is going on. Hmm.

It must be aliens! They broke his leg below the knee. Hello. Sorry, Red Dwarf quote for no apparent reason.

I hope it turns up in the lost property or something, because my new David Bowie album sounded perfect in that car. David Bowie knows how to make an album that sounds great with surround sound type stereo speakers and frequencies being sent to different places. He's very technically minded, you know. It even had the track names programmed into it, and the only other album we've found that had that was Cake's Comfort Eagle. I think it was called that. I always try to call it Lone Eagle, which is the name of a Danielle Steel book. What terrible things to get confused.

If that sounded selfish it wasn't supposed to. The part about Heathen sounding great, I mean. Before I rambled on about other stuff.

All his money was in that stereo system! (Not literally stuffed inside or anything. You know what I mean.) He's penniless! Take pity on him!

BTW, I am aware that I've been less interesting lately.

Sorry. :-p
