I'm on it.

Does anyone know where I can buy those plastic cd sleeves (to replace jewel cases)? Ideally a bricks-and-mortar that's open on Sundays as I'd like to pick some up tomorrow. Cd shop? Electronic goods like Dixon's?

Cheers!

Staples.

I buy my paper ones from Rymans, I've never seen full plastic ones irl, only plastic-fronted ones. Failing that, eBay always many types of these at low prices

Thanks. I'm looking for something a little more durable than paper, but still lightweight. I'm looking at 6 very hefty boxes of cds that I have to ship overseas (maybe 20 kg each, as I can barely lift them) and have decided to ditch the jewel cases. Not sure what to do with booklets and various other bits of paper though.

Staples.

Thanks Karl! Took a while to realise that Staples is a stationers. The closest one is 5 miles out of town though. I guess I might try a couple of closer stationers or order on-line and hope for next day delivery.

I've seem a site somewhere selling sleeves custom made for retaining the booklet and tray card - I can imagine that they would be expensive, though

Edit: here we go.

Hi Papy Oli. Thanks for the suggestions. I ended up giving up on the idea though as the thought of extracting and transferring so many cds was doing my head in. But thanks anyway.

Soooooo......16 more days till move to Bowling Green.........27 days till the entrance exams......................where's the time gone?   AHHHHHHH!    

With that said, still excited

where's the time gone?   

As a teacher I think the same thing, I'm now preparing for the next semester and in a little over a week check out the textbooks and class starts two weeks after that.

I enjoyed my summer.  I guess I also have to now start getting up early again.

What kind of teacher are you, if you don't me asking?

An evil one! I teach physics.

A bit depressing, really. As Jeremy Clarkson said, if the American president really is the leader of the free world, why don't the rest of us (i.e. non-USA-nians) get a vote?

It's strange when the onion has something that seems to be true.

It is true. Rich, old, white, American guys control the world. Most of them don't care about other people.

Here's a picture of a typical one:
