# Yes I am aware of that.
If I was getting someone to plug their headphones into their iPod I wouldn't ask then to insert the male 1/8th inch TRS in to the female would I?

EDIT: Well not on a first date anyway.

# why not, that's what they are...*
having never touched an ipod, i dont know, i just had a look at the phones on a gis.

# Actually a male 1/8th" TRS is just the standands headphone jack.
TRS is tip, ring, sleeve which refers to the contacts on the pin part of the jack lead on a stereo jack plug. Basically two positive sends (CC) and one negative.

# In Radio shack
you used to be able to go to a big bucket in the corner where they had a massive assortment of males and females of various sizes.

You could in theory daisy chain these in the correct sequence so as to connect your rev meter in your Mazda to the hamster wheel, via the Kenwood blender making you pea soup, the changing hues of colour of which would affect a light-responsive diode powering a gramophone dependent also on back-up hamster power, to play Taylor Dane's "Tell it to my heart" at probably too slow a speed.

You just don't get those parts buckets any more. Not even in Maplin, which is a bit of a HND in electric bits compared to Radio Shack's PhD. Anyone think there's something suspicious going on?

# when radio shack aka tandy still existed in the uk
in the early 80's you'd get a little catalogue through the post with *all kinds* of crap in it

you could get anything from there

then they decided to turn into a low budget version of dixons

shit tho they were, dixons were a far far better version of dixons

the inevitable consequence of all this is that the hardcore folks who wanted bits were gone and any customer who wanted consumer electronic junk already got it from dixons

and so, doomed they were.

# Maybe you have a bad store.
The techs are great at my one, and if I ask something that they don't know about they'll call someone who does.
I did have one little shite at an Eastend store that was full of piss and wind though, I was asking about digital TV recievers.
I'm not the best person to try and play the smart ares with. I think he started to regret his appreach when I started going into logorythym.:P

'Nigel stop being an arse'. He had no technical knowledge on the subject but had tried a number of recievers and antellas as he was in a bad reception area and gave me some very useful info.

# Now hold on
This device would not be in a forest where there are those legendary silent falling trees due to no audience.

Let's not raise that controversy again.

This is Taylor Dane. She cannot be silenced. Abd she always has an audience. Even in prison (probably where she performs, like a kind of Johnny Cash, but the inmates really just want to see her wrinkled, but forensically uncommon, tits).
