Like many who ask for advice though, he never
acknowledged that which was given to him.



Do they ever....???


Hi Keith



Hi Arfa!


Trust you had a good 'un ?


Yes, thanks - several actually!! ;-)


You too, I hope!


Yeah, sometimes they do, and sometimes, they even
come back on again later, and say " thanks - that cured the problem ",
which is always nice, but for the most part, you're right - it's just like
shouting down a dead telephone ...


Yep - sign o' the times, I'm afraid! I believe the last straw was when the
Mad Cow went over to the States, got introduced to the 'American Way' by
Ronnie and promptly came back and installed it as a brand new way of life in
dear old Blighty. Top that (as we did) with a Mad Cow 'Mini Me' like Blairy
The Impossible Fairy and you can see how 'British Decency' standards went
down the tubes overnight, while we got served up on a plate to Johnny
Foreigner...!!

Anyway, let's not start the new year with a rant - you'll be pleased to know
the turntable fix with the little 19mm drive belt you sent me has been 100%
successful and the deck is used almost Daily, Arfa!!

;-)


Awaiting now, the 'xenophobe' shrieks from the Quad Squad who, having not
quite yet lost their seat on the Gravy Train to a 30 quid a day Pole, have
yet to withstand the onslaught of the 'Vampyres' who'll do whatever they do
just as well (or equally badly) for a *lot* less than that....!!

(All you gotta do is pitch the 20 to a room Accomodation Rates right and
you're away!!)

Larf? Do yew not hafta...??
