Thats good news simon
The tube manual is quite like a telephone book. The number of it perfect. It is useful to make it possible to speak with a girl. But we can't see her beautiful face from the telephone number

The missus sent me for some tea light candles yesterday so I actually got to go into a shop yesterday and ask for 'four candles'.
Had to do it, when she got them off the shelf, told her I wanted handles for forks.
Tracey who runs the shop, then told me to stop being bloody stupid! the shop is like arkwrights, she has everything in there and actually had a handle for a fork too

Time for a short story...
...many years ago, I ran a software company (with my brother) that was the major provider of booking systems to travel agents up and down the country.
During the migration process we had to pre-register all the users, which basically meant everyone who worked in all the travel agents - about 10,000 users in total.
Just for the hell of it, being extremely bored and bearing in mind this was in the days before any data protection act, I decided to extract everyone's first name and do a frequency analysis on them...
24% of them were called Tracy, Tracey or Sharon. Honest...
Not many people know that (tm)
PS. Yes, I know that two of the eleven Chunnel TBMs were called Sharon & Tracey. The Americans had one called Brenda.

Posted that in completely the wrong thread! Should have been in 'nothing in particular '

I am doing a house exchange in Upton-on-Severn near Worcester in June and hope to attend the Owston event. Google Maps tells me that it is about a 2:45 hour journey and I was wondering if somebody was coming from that area and would like a passenger. I would be happy to pay for petrol.
I could attend for either one day or two.
I am a retired Aussie who has lived in North East Maryland for the past 33 years and for several years ran a group that met occasionally and showed off our creations. Here are some examples:

And for those interested in the Pass 50 watt thread, my blog of the event http://bottlenecksaudio.blogspot.com/20 ... -2015.html
Although I live in the US, I found this Audio Talk group when I was in hospital and was researching how to build a light weight GK71 amp. It would be fun to meet some of you whose ideas I used.

Hi Ray, all being well I'll be making my way up to Yorkshire on the Saturday from deepest Somerset so passing somewhere near you. I anticipate taking the M5/M42/M1.
Could be a confusing conversation though.

Sorry, I couldn't resist!

Hi Ray, we are kindred spirits re the GK-71 amp.
If I come in my van (most likely) I'll bring my pair and the S/E Mosfet amp.
