All this palaver and whining about 'OT' means I won't bother to mention the
following - simply because of the sheepish lack of response from anyone here
other than the *omnipresent* Net Nazis who would squeal like stuck pigs but
who will also significantly fail to fill the void with anything other than
possibly a little self-approved blogging of their own (new webpages, wiring
the neighbour's pigeon loft kinda thing):

1) Selling a Toyota MR2 for 60 quid yesterday and learning summat
interesting about the 'car scrappage scheme' from the *inside*!

2) Squandering my 'Winter Fuel Payment' on a new 1080p DLP projector and now
stuck by the door waiting for Amazon!

3) Deciding to clear out stuff I'll not use again, starting with a
'laboratory power supply' (0~30VDC, I believe - without looking).

4) And clearing out stuff like tons of ceramic valve bases (all the usual
sizes including UX4s)....

5) Mentioning also that now I'll probably be getting rid of my superb,
almost brand-new 720p DLP projector on eBay....??

6) Bitching about the news on Classic FM coming on at any number of minutes
*before* or *after* the hour these days!


I *know* - that'll be:

1) Hook up uk.rec.car.****s then?

2) Hook up uk.rec.sheds.squandering.the.wfp.on.toys ?

3) Hook up uk.rec.electronics.marketplace.total.strangers?

4) Hook up alt.rec.tubes.halfway.round.the.sodding.world then?

5) Hook up uk.rec.av.markeplace.skint.time.wasters...??

6) Hook up uk.rec.pointlessly.bitching.about.the.wireless ??


See above - I'm stuck here waiting for Amazon (sound's like a new West End
play) probably all of today and tomorrow 'til 1 o' clock and so will be
watching for the usual torrent of fascinating techno****tery from the
*hundreds* of amusing and entertaining regulars here!!
