If I have to be banned for appreciating Chris Martin' talent, then so be it.....see!, don't care baby bass bro.
Ooh. My finger is hovering over the ducking-stool apparatus summoning button!😁
I misread that initially. Quite worrying.

Humbug.

Whatever you think of Chris Martin, it's a lovely tribute to Dick van Dyke who, considering he's 99 and just won a Prime Time Emmy, is frankly amazing...

Quandary: 1998 Cambridge Audio A500

So. I found this in the loft, minding it's own business on one of the racks up there... I guess we had it in use in the early 2000s - maybe for one of the kids' rooms - and it's been in the loft for 20 years...

It was a perfectly good amp, however in its years of being unloved and upstairs, it's ...

Re: Nothing In Particular

Looks like the forum phpBB version has been upgraded to the current very latest release which would explain why a lot of things are much slicker and certain features have changed, like "Who's online" (disabling was a 3.2.x feature which was a while ago).

Nice, silent, upgrade with no interruptions ...

Re: Nothing In Particular

Sounding good is better than looking pretty.

Sounding good and being safe enough not to injure/main/kill small animals (incl. children) is a bonus.

Re: General health matters.

Yep. It's expensive but being fair, in Waitrose it's "only" £6. At the moment it's a new product and regarded as a premium one at that. Not, IMHO, show-stoppingly expensive though...

Re: General health matters.



I do confess to being partial to hibiscus tea as well as thyme tea - we make both from flowers & leaves in the garden (though the hibiscus are in pots and go into the greenhouse in winter).

First got into hibiscus tea when working abroad - very nice it is too.


Thanks for the tips, I’ll have ...
