Was doing my normal daily drive "Reay to Thurso" last year and, on the way back, had a couple of coppers pull up behind me in my driveway.
Im on the North coast 500 route.
Anyhoo, bottom line, they clocked me doing 51 MPH in a 30MPH zone.
Thank god for the "covid" shit, the Prosecuter offered me a £100 fine and 3 points.
Thank god for "covid, if that was normal times the Sheriff would have reamed my arse with points and penalties.

Hi Mike Seems a reasonable and sensible response. Not doing much building atm so not a lot to post. I’m cutting down overgrown trees and getting the logs in for the winter. Know any good chain saw forums or amputee chat rooms lol Martin Hi Martin, I'm spending my time avoiding the garden...... in fact, I'm going to let nature do its thing and see what happens. The thought of another 6 months mowing the grass (mainly moss now) and killing weeds / chopping down random hedges et all, being eaten alive by midges and "harvest flies" and being stung isn't something I want to get involved with! I was out a couple of weeks ago, thought I'd do a bit of strimming (as you do) and I heard this droning noise...... I thought it was somebody in the distance strimming..... turns out it was a wasps nest in a bush. These buggers up here are almost 2 inches long and go anywhere near their nest and your next stop is an ambulance with anaphylactic shock if you upset these striped bastard buzzing horrible flying stinging bastards. I've been up here 15 years now and the mower cut was always a number 2....... lovely patch of grass (half the size of a football pitch)....... I'm now on a number 7 and it's like walking on a sponge..... the moss has taken over. I'm not known for spending time "on the lawn" so why (I asked myself) do I need to spend the best part of 6 months, every year, mowing grass? I wouldn't shave my arse every day so why this strange "inbuilt" perception that I should be cutting grass every week or so to keep it neat and tidy? Bollocks to it, it is "literally" doing my box in, to the degree that I am suffering depression, It's not that I "can't" spend 4 hours a week mowing it down..... I don't want to. Don't get me started on Chainsaws mate..... I had a kickback a few years ago and "fortunately" I was sporting a good quality chainsaw helmet...... if I hadn't had the helmet on my head I would have been sliced for sure (dead as a dodo)....... Dangerous f**king things........ be sure to learn everything you can about maintaining your saw, (chain tension / chain sharpening etc.) and wear proper protective gear mate. Kickback can happen at any time...... Mike.

There has been a LOT of spam posts here recently (world's longest dog, biggest cat on the planet, fastest snail on Earth etc.) they are coming out of Pakistan (IP logs clearly show this attack coming from Pakistan). All of them have the ident "Maria" in one form or another..... maria1467, 129Maria, Maria7W65s etc. etc.
Pain in the arse "banning" "deleting" "removing posts" every day so I have made the registration process to "join" the forum a lot harder. We won't be seeing any more "World's biggest hamburger" posts from Maria XYZ etc. (out of Pakistan) because I have now set things up to give me the "Yes / no" when approving / declining a new member.
The place has gone to the shitter (as is) with no input from actual members...... I'll be damned if it goes to the dogs at the hands of Pakistani spammers calling themselves "Maria".
Im onto these vermin.
Mike.

Roger has always been the creative genius / driving force behind the Floyd........ He's right, Gilmour is a decent guitarist but that's all he is...... Have you listened to any of Gilmour's solo albums? Nuff said You can see from, early on, 1967 that Roger was the driving force "creative genius" TQ Floyd ceased to be after the Final Cut..... as soon as Roger went his own way the "Gilmour band" just churned out shite (IMO)........ Division Bell (absolute turd) Momentary lapse of reason (turd on a stick). Pink Floyd without Roger Waters is a restaurant without a chef. Plenty of shit on the menu but nobody to cook it. Gilmour really is a sniveling, petty, narcissistic, self entitled little prick..... for him to claim credit for creating some of the best music EVER is just bad form. He's a session musician (at best) with the creativity of a f**king slug. The Pros and cons of Hitch hiking still gets my goose pimples up (to this day) as does Radio KAOS, as does Amused to Death etc. etc. You can tell who was the creative force behind Floyd...... Roger Waters! David Gilmour "About Face" album? Street busker trying to be a creative genius..... absolute non starter. I'd actually like to punch Dave Gilmour in the face. End of rant.

Mine is broken. When i touch the adapter cable it cuts the sound. The pin in the barrel doesn't fit like it should. Where to find a replacement? Here in Holland i cant find em anywhere (only dc, no ac) Regards, Stephan Hi Stephan, You are looking for a 2.1mm board mount socket..... I have plenty of them in stock. Send me a message mate.

Norman Watt Roy possibly the best bass player of all time?
Best known for his "hit me with your rhythm stick" bass line when he was the Blockheads.
Pure class.

Hi, I have one of the earlier versions of the amp just called headamplifier. I am using it but it hums when I touch it. Anyone shed some light on this. Also is it possible to replace the capacitors as per posts here, not sure what to use exactly so if anyone can help please let me know. Thanks I guess this thread is dead and this forum long stopped functioning. So long. This thread is most definitely dead (as dead as a QED MB45) but the forum is still alive

Just picked one of these up, I work in a charity shop and one came in, They gave it to me for free, perfect working order! and condition when I got it home (we get given a lot of broken sh*t), and I am using as a pre-amp for my turntable which then goes through a Sony mini system & speakers, a nice boost in volume which was needed as system on own is pretty quiet and sounds nicer now IMO, also great with headphones Cringe fest. Sorry guys, I hold my head in shame Give me a break
