Obits

Recently Scott McKenzie passed away. Although Scott was a noted songwriter (e.g. Beach Boys - Kokomo) he will be remembered most vividly for the "one hit wonder" of San Francisco (be sure to wear some flowers in your hair) - a beacon call to everyone in my age-group. Scott, you were person...

Re: Some advice please.

So, keeping you sane has now turned into my "raison d'etre"...until I get my leads. :lol:
All joking aside, I do appreciate your workload. Stupid though it may sound, the fact that I couldn't get my leads by return post was one, minor, part of the reason I went for NVA gear.

Re: Some advice please.

Anyone actually heard (of) the X-10 and willing to impart sage advice then?

Some advice please.

I'm sitting here with a large gin on a Friday night and I've decided to ask for some advice. No, thanks anyway, but "It's Friday night pal, get a life!" is redundant. I had one of those and abused it with gusto for many years until my body asked, nay, BEGGED, me to slow down. What I've bee...
