Oh wow, that's uber strong!
This was a tenner shipped off ebay, gets a fair bit cheaper if you buy more than 1 though.

All the moving was done by Father-In-Law and Wife's uncle whilst I was out at a band contest in Chesterfield, so I got out of all the lifting and carrying duties
Love Knipex tools, have some automatic wire strippers and super knips myself
Yeah Iv been putting up with cheap pliers for years so decided to get myself a linesman for the leverage etc. Iv my eye on the Knipex Cobolt and the 250mm Pliers Wrench
plus I came across a german company and managed to get the Knips at a much lower rate. The electricians pliers were half the cost in Germany than Ireland

What does The Wire look like on Blu-ray? Good enough to buy it over the DVD version? I've also heard that it's been cropped from 4:3 to 16:9 for the current trend of widescreen displays. Is this true and does it affect the image?

About the transfer:

We didn't want to sit through the 4:3 and having seen those two articles decided that it was worth going for the new 16:9 transfer.

Whilst I feel the same, however the Wired was shot and framed for 4:3.

4:3 adds to the experience when watching the wire. Would rather watch it how the producers and directors intended and not in 16:9.

Battleship Mutsu from Kantai Collection docked this morning.
Her sister ship Nagato is on the right.

After much trials and tribulations I finally got my phone

Phwoooooah, look at the guns on that
If those same producers/directors filmed it today, do you think they'd do it in 4:3?

Nope, they would have framed the shot for 16:9, focal length, compression of angles and framing would be adjusted accordingly.

Cheers. It looks good. Perhaps if I'd seen The Wire on TV or DVD at 4:3 I'd hate the Blu-ray 16:9 version but I haven't so I think I'll go for the Blu-ray. Especially as the Blu-ray price isn't that much more (£8) than the DVD version.

Picked this up last Friday, absolutely love it. Easily the best car I've ever had.
Which isn't a stretch given my history.
Apologies for the mahoosive image, posting this on an iPad.
