Roger`s rebooked the golf for tomorrow - hope it`s a bit warmer for my old bones - shorts are out that`s for sure.I will ask about his hub from BT too...............

Steady Cedric - we`ve only had one over here - hardly worth getting uptight about.

I wonder what happens to hijackers and shoe bombers when this sort of thing occurs ?? Suppose they get a break from it all eh ??

That must be because we're not trying.

Stew for supper followed by a G'n'T' and the news.

So that's an aeroplane is it?

I fixed our microwave oven today.

The top door interlock microswitch blew up. I took the defunct switch to a local retailer and told him in my best spanglish what it was for and he said "leave it with me" (I think).

I went back today and he had found one.

Cost me 3€ instead of 300€ for a new microwave.

Result.

No, the one I fixed today cost about 150€ about 4 or 5 years ago. They are much more expensive in this neck of the woods than in UK.

The one my wife wanted to replace it with would have cost a lot more. 3€ well spent I reckon. It gives me more money to spend on my gear

I hear the camera industry has just banned coffee breaks.

During the breaks, production ground to a stop...

I would assume it is now time to perk things up!
