sorry mate couldn't resist!!

No, you see Paul, he's going to blow a commoner first! Very public spirited of you Lewis! (it begins!)

this is getting worse...

Sorry! After the innuendo fuelled fun with TinTin yesterday I just thought we were continuing!

We were lucky I didn't start with this one!

Veering back on topic...

When I was moving house one time my hifi speakers were left on the floor unguarded for two seconds. In that time my tomcat belted into the room, leapt on top, slipped and furiously kicked the cone with his back legs to get balance... still makes me wince.

It was completely inverted, but not broken. I managed to dismantle the speaker case and very carefully, with a thin piece of packaging wire (coated in rubber - the kind that hold toys to display boxes) inserted from behind managed to ease the cone back into its original shape.

it still works to this day, although ir does have visible creases. Anyway, a similar technique may work with carded bubbles.

dont know if anyone has seen the father ted episode where they try to remove a small dent from the car and end up ruining it, this is how I imagine my efforts would be in trying to fix the bubble... I dont think I could trust myself to leave it alone...

yay I won! paid more than I wanted to and maybe more than its worth but I dont see this one too often... and I suppose ebay is a reflection of "value" at that time...
