'eh 2 brutes'

Tell me about it my wife's started already "I'd like the house decorating, I'd like new carpets, I'd like a new wardrobe and it goes on!

Infamy,Infamy; they've all got it in for me!

It will get its terrible revenge when you least expect it.

Pah! I know a chap with a MIG welder!

Sounds like just the thing for soldering surface mount electronic components … or maybe not.

You'd think it was the Scharnhorst and Gneisenau from the media froth!

Jawohl, Herr Kapitän!

PING...ping...PING..ping..

Started with 16Gb in the recent new-build PC. Very effective if there's not much on it!

Quite. More is better, as the saying goes, but the system is now maxed out. Should keep the thing going for another year or so.

And here I am, still on 2GB... :-(

I recall proper fire and it been red hot, pulling myself along 3 or 4. 45 gallon oil drums welded together pushing my BA set in front of me.

There was one particular instructor at South Shields who would take great delight in 'demonstrating a sudden flare up of the fire' by simply throwing a few litres of paraffin onto the already raging fire in the 'tank' - do that these days and he'd be in serious trouble with 'authority'...

I'm convinced there was a competition between instructors as to who could get it the hottest. Based at York i probably had more BA jobs during my probation than they had experienced in 20 years in the job.

Enjoy.

Sympathies. Last year someone used my business email address as "reply-to" when sending out phishing emails asking for a payment. Not helpful. People were visiting my business website and phoning me asking what the payment was for. Made me look a right d*ck.

Cheers, Pete. It really is annoying. I've had the same email for some 10 years, but might have to change it

It's one of those things that happens every now and again. It happened to me a few years ago. Eventually the rejected emails stopped, but it was annoying at the time.

You'll be going all round the workshop now, looking for something - anything - to roll....

Lovely bit of kit. It has grooves in the rollers for bending rail but I'd have liked a slightly thinner and deeper groove for rolling bits of angle iron section

Funny you should mention that, Horse...

If you were to search in physical shops for such books, you wouldn't get far by car or public transport for £2.80....and there's the time factor to consider...

I know - still all bargains really

Or you could think about how much tax they pay and how they have destroyed local bookshops and boycott them on moral grounds.

Wow! I think you should buy a lottery ticket Mark !

*grins*

it adam lambert i have tickets for the o2

Ah, too much haste in tryping! Can't wait though

Be careful driving all that distance. Take plenty of breaks, if need be.

I know, steve. Planning a stop just outside Chester. Done this trip before, and it's a good point to take a break. It's the 'ordinary' roads out of the way; all motorway (bar Leeming to Scotch Corner) after that. Will also stop at Wetherby if necessary. See how the traffic situation is, of course. That might dictate another stop or two if progress is slower than hoped.

And cheers, Neil

Happy birthday.

Happy birthday!

Mines 43!!

Let me just rephrase that..... Is Norwegian airport alcohol cheaper than ordinary Norwegian alcohol?

Sorry, I don't understand - "Cheap, Norwegian and alcohol!". Nope never heard that phrase before!!

You should see the prices in Oahu Costco...

I feel all flight details for holidays bring happiness whether they are at home or away.

Those were the days Mark!

Nothing changes regarding the "Escape Message", Neil!

That's me

Not as good as last time we came through - we only got up to 21.8 knots today. Last time was 23.9 knots, but we were turning 122 rpm, as opposed to today's more pedestrian 105 rpm...

And here I was hoping they had, in fact, invented holodecks, Dave...
