Where for art thou DVD cable.

The weekend before Drewsnaps and I went to the Wonderful World of USA we decided to spend the weekend down the Coast seeing Family.

Upon arrival home, well bed time we went to put a DVD on to fall asleep to and for some reason the DVD player wasn't working. Great! it wasn't even our DVD player. Our DVD player is out in the lounge room with the Surround Sound. Now this DVD player was woeful to being with. My brother talked it up saying it was a Hard Disc recorder and all that. Turns out, he has bought a DVD player that plays both DVDs and VHS' and recorded from VHS to DVD. So the thing took forever to even load the DVD once you waited the 20 minutes for the eject button to actually work.

Back to the story. We tried to put the TV onto AV1 to play the DVD and there was no connection for it. We checked the back of the DVD and surprise surprise, the cord from the DVD player to the TV was missing all with the exception of a single yellow cord still plugged into the TV and nothing else.
We went searching for a spare cord but couldn't find one, which was weird as there was a time when we had so many. We gave up and decided to Bring in our DVD player and HDMI cable.

Now the story of where the cord went missing to. I asked my brother what he had done with the cord as he would've been the only person in the house while we were gone. Turns out his "Girlfriend" at the time had an "awesome" surround sound system to set up but it didn't come with the cord that we were missing.

My brother decided to take the cord out of our room so he could look all macho setting up her DVD player.

took him about a month to replace the cord.
