  3. Posted without comment as I am not qualified so to do.
  4. Put my phone under the pillow last night. Woke up to find it was gone and a £1 coin in it's place. Sodding Bluetooth Fairy...?
  5. True, but (probably) only Thee and Me are old enough to know that Mate. ?
  6. My reply to an insurance Company Query RE my injuries. I am writing in response to your request for additional information. In block number three of the accident reporting form, I put "poor planning" as the cause of my accident. You said in your letter that I should explain more and I trust that the following details are sufficient: I am a bricklayer by trade. On the day of the accident, I was working along on the roof of a new six-story building. When I completed my work, I discovered that I had about 500 pounds of bricks left over. Rather than carry the bricks down by hand I decided to lower them in a barrel by using a pulley, which fortunately was attached to the side of the building at the sixth floor. Securing the rope at the ground level, I went up to the roof, swung the barrel out and loaded the bricks into it. Then I went back to the ground and untied the rope, holding it tightly to insure a slow descent of the 500 pounds of bricks. You will note in block number 11 of the accident reporting form that I weigh 135 pounds. Due to my surprise at being jerked off the ground so suddenly, I lost my presence of mind and forgot to let go of the rope. Needless to say, I proceeded at a rather rapid rate up the side of the building. In the vicinity of the third floor, I met the barrel coming down. This explains the fractured scull and broken collarbone. Slowed only slightly, I continued my rapid ascent, not stopping until the fingers of my right hand were two knuckles deep into the pulley. Fortunately, by this time I had regained my presence of mind and was able to hold tightly to the rope in spite of my pain. At approximately the same time, however, the barrel of bricks hit the ground - and the bottom fell out of the barrel. Devoid of the weight of the bricks, the barrel now weighed approximately 50 pounds. I refer you again to my weight in block number 11. As you might imagine, I began a rapid descent down the side of the building. In the vicinity of the third floor, I met the barrel coming up. This accounts for the two fractured ankles and lacerations of my legs and lower body. The encounter with the barrel, slowed me enough to lessen my injuries when I fell onto the pile of bricks and fortunately, only three vertebrae were cracked. I am sorry to report, however, that as I lay there on the bricks in pain, unable to move, and watching the barrel six stories above - I again lost my presence of mind. . . . I let go of the rope . . .
  7. Three guys Steve, Bruce & Dave are working on a high rise building when Steve falls to his death. The other two have to decide who is going tell Steve's Mrs the bad news. Dave decides he'll do it as he's good at the caring sentimental stuff, so off he goes. 3 hours later he's back with a 24 slab of beer under his arm. "Where did you get that ?"asks ... Bruce. " "Steve's Mrs gave it to me". says Dave. "So you told her that her husband's dead and she gave you a slab of beers?". " Well not exactly", when she opened the door I said "Hi you must be Steve's widow". She replied that "she wasn't a widow". I said, " I bet you a 24 slab that you are. . . ."
  8. I've loved messing around with radios since i was about 5 yo. . . Built my first transistor job from a kit at 7,. . didn't work at first because of my lack of proficiency at soldering. . .but I finally got it going. Used to listen to an hour of 'pop' on radio Luxembourg, but Mum used to take it away at 11 pm because of school in the mornings. . . ( sobs)
  9. You're on Twitter Mate ? HEY, that's a coincidence, I just joined too !. . .Only for Wholesome sensible reasons of course. So far, I've only used it to rubbish people who don't agree 1000 percent with what I think. . . . .

  21. Here is a nice, relaxing multiple exposure shot of the Flaming Star Nebula. taken by my mate Rob Greaves, from his backyard in late december 2019. He apologised as it is slightly blurred. Not bad for an amateur, using el- cheapo gear though. . . [ATTACH]50566._xfImport[/ATTACH]
