Of course :grin: We sound nerds get up to all sorts of weird behaviour.. My dream is to design and build a house which has proper infinite baffle bass drivers built in to the floor 🤣 or the walls. That'll show em.

Yeah do it! Old altec driver here, dumps into a transmission line formed by floor joists then into a ceiling space on the other side.

Just when you think you had seen it all some obsessive person takes a subject to a level that leaves you shaking your head at the "human condition"

I love these eccentric people 😊

I've just spent eight days in Pathos, Cyprus. It was bloody wonderful, 25 degrees and almost wall to wall sunshine.

My youngest sister got married there. Her second go at it. I've got three sisters and I actually like two of them. The one just married I love to bits. We are thinking of clubbing together and buying a property in Pathos. Very excited about that. Life is for living, I'm sick of being a tight arse Yorkshire person. Time to do a bit of living.

If you invest 300k in property in Cyprus you can get residency. Stay five years and I think you can get a Cypriot passport. It would be too hot for me in summer though.

You have to be very careful what you invest in over there. The place is like a building site in many areas and much of the builds are either unfinished or abandoned.
