Tabloids would brand those voters Romaine-rs

I re-cap and re-build Music Man amps, they run at 700v. So Isolating transformer > Variac > light bulb limiter >left hand in pocket 😳

It should be OK as you haven't played it in a while, but be careful if you open it up. There can be some nasty charges left on the smoothing caps, even when unplugged, and fingers/tweezers can get a nasty surprise. Ask me how I know 😂

I completely forgot my Citroen CX2200 Pallas, gorgeous car, b@st@rd to stop in the rain abruptly, my one and (hopefully) only serious accident as a youngster was in that car, in the wet!!. Totally changed my way (understanding) of driving.

I was a boom op on Dinner Ladies for both series. VW gave the crew mugs at the end of the second series. This is what happened yesterday... groan. Better put my Alan Partridge mug somewhere safe!

Be careful where you leave it in winter if it has a cover. I have a few (cough, don't tell the wife) amplifiers and some of my beloved ones were left over winter with custom covers in a storage shed, and ended up with mould all over the Tolex. And yes if they were that beloved why wasn't I using...

As a younger man I had an MR2 Mk1, two tone, Jade over gold, really miss that car. Had a 225 BHP Audi TT when it first came out, (just a golf in a party frock). Had a 2.0 TDI Mk5 Golf, fantastic car, never let me down but ULEZ killed it. Hired a Skoda Koraq Sportline last weekend to go to a...

But where would it stop then? That would just be the tip of the iceberg

Built my "Man Cave" with OSB3, breathable membrane, roofing battens, then clad over the top. In much the same way as all the loft extensions around here have been constructed. That was 13 years ago. Still bone dry and rot free.

Decent device manufacturers use intelligent charging systems. The number of scare stories I get from Apple haters about devices blowing up is, in 99% of cases, people using cheap Chinese knock off chargers and leads. To Apple's credit if there is any sort of problems there's usually a recall...

If you come across a flint in old brickwork (and you will know when you have) putting a steel punch in the hole and giving a hefty whack (or two) to shatter it, usually works. Also with old walls I never start with the hammer on..... ask me how I know😂

"Who's paying?".... "The Duck. Put it on his bill"

One of my favourite singer/songwriters Jason Isbell wrote a song called "if we were vampires" about growing old together "Knowing that this can't go on forever, Likely one of us will have to spend some days alone. Maybe we'll get 40 years together, Then one day I'll be gone or one day you'll be...

Hmmm bit of a sweeping generalisation there. Not sure PMC, Rega etc would agree

And the 5/8s

Where do the batteries go?

Without starting a new sharpening thread 😩, I'm a Mac user and have been for about 30+ years, (so please don't launch into a diatribe about the evils of fruit named companies). One of the nice features of Safari their browser that I tend to use, and yes it's not perfect, is, it tells you...

To be fair, it would explain why all the doors I make don't fit
