    About two years ago somebody complained that the music we were playing in the shop was rubbish. Well, to prevent this happening again we're offering the following service. It's the....
    PLAY YOUR iPOD AT OK COMICS SCHEME.
    Feel free to put together a small selection of songs which you think will be condusive to comic shop browsing, bring along your iPod, we'll plug it in and then shop to your own soundtrack.
    Rules - Nothing with swearing, nothing too noisey, we are an all ages bookshop after all. Probably best not to play any Girls Aloud, but, y'know whatever...

    I will never enter the shop again if the soundtrack to my cadavery isn't Gay Country, the greatest of all minority country genres.

    Not yet. Thanks for leaving us your mix tape.
    All the cartoon sound bites got us talking. Mark Doesn't remember Foghorn Leghorn. How many cartoons feature this guy? He was my favorite as a kid, I loved it when he painted the dogs tongue.

    I was a bit cheesed off doing the disc because media player wouldn't convert the Batman and Twilight Zone themes for burning. It was also supposed to start off with a Lost In space soundbite (Warning! warning!).

    Re: Foghorn Leghorn ~ I'll check tonight how many he appeared in.

    aww, you're making me blush.

    I forgot to ask whether your computer has bluetooth as well...that always helps...

    Make sure the bluetooth is turned on on the phone and the computer (on my computer you turn the bluetooth on with Fn+F5 but that might be different on yours).

    Go to control panel- Network and internet connections- bluetooth devices. Then click Add and follow the wizard to connect with your phone. Then run the bluetooth file transfer wizard which should be in start- programs- accessories- communication. :)
