The king is in the counting house some folk have all the luck

I have to be in training all day, so I can't do my web surfing myself, so I'm asking you all to do my research for me...


What's a good DVD player for me to buy (cheap-ish)?
Is there an online resource that gives you an excuse to celebrate every day of the year?
Is there a good online list of Whitby B&Bs
How am I going to survive a day of anti-discriminatory training?

I'd recommend
http://www.richersounds.co.uk/index.php?f=itemdetl.php&p=205744
Cyberhome ADL528
BLACK (Multi-region)
Very good -Got my family one for X-mas - and it cost £100 then...

Helpfully got 2 headphone plug sockets in the front, with separate volume controls...

Does exactly what it says on the tin - Cheap, cheerful, and not bad (plus its multireigon so you can play US stuff - NOT "no reigon" so wont break on the new anti-copying stuff).

Other than that - do you have a higher budget? If so - The Pioneer players are good... As are some of the "all in one" packages by panasonic - (the ones with the speakers, and player - rather than just stereo for your TV).

Laterz - Shout if you need more info / recommendations

I second this. We have the Cyberhome, and it's not bad. Keeps turning the subtitles back on in _Futurama_, but that seems to be the only bug (and that might be the discs). And it does play US DVDs with a minimum of Vulcan Nerve Pinching.
