    Are we talking Andrew about 'A' the wheels, the appendage on its backside or indeed the one astride?? Or 'B' None of the above?? PS - it's faux pas. (or "I've made a fox pass" as Hilda Ogden once said )
  4. You could try Installing windows 10?? When I bought this Laptop,it was on windows 8, I then paid the shop to put it on windows 8.1 (so it worked like windows 7) Then Microsoft changed it to windows 10 outside my control - they just did it!!!
  5. "The Savage" always proved too hard for Me lol. Never got much past the Intro'.
  6. I'm more for Instrumental, (but not all that good these days) at the Shadows stuff - Apache, Wonderful Land, Peace Pipe, Man of Mystery, Foot Tapper, Dance On, KonTiki etc. I prefer my Fender Blacktop Mex, alnico humbuckers candy apple red. Great soft tones out of it.
  7. Have to admit, haven't had Strat' out of it's case for about 3 yr. I prefer my Fender Blacktop Mex, alnico humbuckers candy apple red. Great soft tones out of it. I also have a very nice "Norman" (Canadian) Electro Acoustic cut away. Onboard tuner, I think?? + tone, Bass controls etc - again not used for about same. (Likened by some to the Martins - No not me lol) Another one you won't get chesters!!.
  8. Ooooooo chesters, you are a Wag!!!
  9. This one's very like mine - Bargain, only £30 from Outdoor Value & wheelbase wide enough for decent stability.Handles slopes as long as you don't go too mad - (just go more up & down or at an angle rather than straight across slopes & It'll be fine!!) https://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/aclk?sa=L&ai=DChcSEwib8ZP93MzcAhXtsO0KHb-dAmMYABAUGgJkZw&ohost=www.google.co.uk&cid=CAASEuRo0bhZxhpSFDvxwL_JBY3zQg&sig=AOD64_3WiWVc-T70uPu_UqLweEJz8MbN0Q&ctype=5&q=&ved=0ahUKEwjN2pD93MzcAhVFgVwKHYsfCXwQ9aACCDA&adurl= Trust me!! I'm a Trolley user
  10. Nice Axe Andrew but I prefer the Maple fret board over the rose wood. (purely for looks) Mine is a Sunburst Hand crafted in Japan Strat' (Maple board) & Texas Special Pickups. (Some say the Japanese sounds & plays better than the USA??)
  11. Summed up - "OK YA - Liberal Minded Tossers!!"
  12. I think that most offensive is, there are people actually being paid for dictating what is offensive & what is not!! These people need some kids around their arse, a Proper Job!! & get into the real world.
  13. Bad luck Andrew, when I was a kid, air shows like the ones at RAF Church Fenton & Finningley always opened with a fly past by the ENGLISH ELECTRIC LIGHTENING Breaking the sound barrier - does that still happen?? By the time you'd heard the sonic Boom - the aircraft was already out of sight!!
  14. While I was in a Hospital waiting room with my 91 year old Mum Wednesday just gone. (she was there for a renal ultrasound scan) A young black woman was there with her 3 children. The youngest was sat on her lap, & she was singing that now frowned upon (By the PC Brigade) Nursery Rhyme - Baa Baa Black Sheep - have you any wool?? over & over again. Seems like we're being told by some what we should find offensive & not what actually is!! Also seems that yes, the Black community make the connection, but choose to Ignore it simply because its just a Nice Song!! I'm pretty sure that at the time of composition, the Rhyme had NO racist conertations whatsoever?? (I'm waiting to be corrected on that bit - enter corry??)
  15. Let's just hope Neither runs off with the other's wife Let's just hope Neither runs off with the other's wife this time!!
  16. Those Liberal minded, OK YA' Nigels, Ruperts & Cassandras of this world have a lot to answer for!! A Judge once asked - What's a Pub??
  17. Could even shoot them along with the beef cattle - once the CO2 shortage is over of course!!
  18. People who recently viewed this site also purchased a Length of rope & a wobbly stool!!
  19. Lets save 40 odd Grand on each a year in tax payers money. "That's the Beauty of GAS". Maybe even drowning, but the rivers are so low this time of year!!
  20. In my childhood days, only the exceptionally bright kids had the opportunity to go to a University!! Most kids these days seem to think that University is something of a birthright!!. but would actually be better served with an Apprenticeship!!! Universities are full of students who shouldn't even be there!! in fact some kids have a "BLACK BELT" in THICK!! These kids need taking under the wing of someone in the real world!!
  21. Is there something happening in the rivers between Barbel & Carp?? Barbel are after all members of the carp family!! Nature will always find a way. There's something very Barbelesque about your photo'!! (IMHO) When you say "Local Stream" - seems even more intimate!!
  22. Nice Carp Keith, not to mention yet another great report but its mouth parts seem to be somewhat shortened?? Indicative of being caught too many times, or is it the result of some disease/virus?? I see this type of thing on so many commercial fisheries I go on!! I've even caught them with a hooked mouth a bit like the Kype of a cock salmon (but not nearly so handsome)
  23. , Keith says he has a pair of Knee High Hipsters!! - Pass it on lol..
  24. It all very much hangs on the "Per Square Inch" bit, as a past Inspector in the Oil Tool Industry, some of the kit was up to 23,500 PSI test pressure (for a 15,000 PSI Working pressure wellhead) It's really all about volume and the Pounds per square inch acting on it. 20,000 PSI in a 1/4" control line is next to nothing in real terms compared with same acting on a 30 inch wellhead!! (not that 20,000 in a control line is ever applied - although would take it with ease!!) In contrast, 30 - 36 PSI is about right for a car tire!!
