allan downes Posted February 7, 2015 Author Share Posted February 7, 2015 (edited) Hi Hal. Jeeeeeze Hal, that's all way,way beyond me mate !!!xxxxxxx computers eh ! Anyway, get a load of this bullxxxt as an example. I went to a site that offered to check my medical records back to zero but first they wanted to know the exact dates all of my family, past and present, when they had their flu jabs on. like you know that I would have phoned up kin once a year asking them all to let me know when they got their jabs so's I could keep a record of it !!! But the registration was free - but what registration isn't ? - then after that they wanted major bucks at the same time in order to make things easier could I give ALL my long gone dead aunts, uncles, granddads, grandmas dates of birth, full names, where they were born etc which,when you think about, I was paying them to research my records while I did it for them !!! American based company of course. Cheers. Allan Edited February 7, 2015 by allan downes 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAL 'O THE WYND Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 (edited) Nothing surprises me these days, Allan. My daughter put her house up for rent when she moved into her partner's place, so she cancelled her household insurance... but they kept taking the money. Eventually, they agreed they were at fault and said they'd pay her back. Now, both she and us used Municipal and Mutual (Names Named) so what a surprise when they put her money into our account! Computers, the old "sh1t in sh1t out" And there are NO consequences for the employees who make these digital mistakes. Regarding that post, though, I would tell Andy Y. because someone is using your name and RMweb account to post their stuff. OK, it's your Picasa pictures, but that isn't the point. Just mention the number of my detailed post - #4763 - and leave it with him. I would, for your security. Cheers, Hal EDIT Unless, of course, somewhere along the line you ticked a box giving them permission...

allan downes Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 Windows. Here the upper storey main window frames have been cut out from 40thou black styrene and the whole sheet will be glued behind the main wall then trimmed back. The diamond leading is Scalelink - cat. No SLFO 84 - sprayed mid grey. More later. Cheers. Allan. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a look at the Kibri Office Furniture Packs, but having to buy two at twenty-two quid with most of them going to waste brought out the mean streak in me! I only need two chairs but problem is I've got bits for about ten hiding in the carpet (It's me shaky bits). On reflection I think I'll let the bu**ers sit on packing cases!

Hi Peter. The white background is also plastic so I string Evostik Impact Adhesive sparingly to the back of the black plastic stud work and while it is still wet gently position it over the oversized backing sheet then trim back when it has set.. The problem with trying to use solvent glue is that it turns the plastic shiny and looks terrible. I got your guitar vid via email - totally awesome ! Cheers.
