Whilst we're on big words with a Latin root etymology, the above is a tortology.

Did you mean "tautology" ?

I've still got (somewhere) an exercise book from my days at Mid Essex Technical college, when I was a Marconi apprentice.

I marvel at entries I made regarding the biasing of transistors, did I understand ? Probably not.

And I still have a copy of "Radio and Line Transmission" .

What have we started now ... http://livinginthepast-audioweb.co.uk/imagex/misc/unsure.gif I think what Phil and me meant was file storage, e.g. Microsoft keep nagging me to use OneDrive, ditto Apple re iCloud, I prefer my files to be on my devices here. Unreasonable of me I know. :D Yes, you have t...

A handstand then, that's the solution.

Can you video that ?

I was not happy with my new blood pressure medication, and had previous contact with the surgery, even having an ECG. No problems were found. Still not happy, I saw another Doctor this morning, and he says the new medication was having the same effect as my usual pill, and was in fact doubling up on...

Yes, but ------

I would also avoid the Cloud if possible, but in some cases (like this forum) it's unavoidable.

You are right Mike. You did a lot of work to help me in the amps early days and I thank you again. Of course, it would be wrong not to mention Nick, whose guiding hand and expert knowledge has helped all that have been in need of advice, and also Paul. Nor to forget those who have been enthusiastic...

It even works on des o'connor records

It must be good stuff then.

Can you remember if my version sounded "inferior" on the day ? Be as honest as you like. not the best, but not cheap crap either. In the company of the Tributes, they are effectively cheap crap though unfortunately. If Paul reads this, Paul, if you ever decide to sell the Tributes can I h...
