More irreversible damage has been done to thousands of lovely old (& newer) buildings by those clowns high with testosterone wielding masonry hammer drills injecting & spraying foam into those cavities like there?s no tomorrow. How those hi-Tech damp- proofing chemicals can actually penetrate 150 year old dense fired impermeable bricks and claim to stop damp forever in this lifetime is beyond me. Ahhhh, can get a government grant for ?improvements? How does that work I wonder ? Perhaps those MPs can take advantage insulation?s all their second homes or are they simply shareholders in national 0800 telephone number ?government approved? companies offering insulation?

If you saw my loft and it's contents you would understand why I am not going to do it! Cheers, Dave.

I gather that the Army contacted the production to enquire where they could obtain similar devices, only to be told that the props dept fashioned a fake from two Sparklets cartridges and a snorkel mouthpiece! Also, on "Fiddler on the Roof" I was using an induction loop for 'silent' playback. Topol, who is Israeli, came to ask me if it would work underwater for military communication use. Only if you could get a loop around the target area, he was told.

I year or so ago, the CD player in the local church hall packed up. As it is used by various groups who may not understand or be responsible with things, I wanted a good old plain CD player with buttons on front (remotes get lost/damaged). Seems they don't exist now but everything has displays/remote only etc etc. Finally got a very reasonable working old type one in local charity/phone shop which was just what was wanted - and only ?25 - and still working.

Here is the list of events so far :- North 3 Events 2018 MAY 5TH-7TH THE LLANDUDNO TRANSPORT FESTIVAL Superb show in a beautiful location, good access from the A55 coast road, and plenty to see in Llandudno itself - which hosts a special Victorian Extravaganza in the town centre, accessible by free vintage bus rides. Road run round the Great Orme. http://www.llantransfest.co.uk/ JUNE 23RD & 24TH: THE KELSALL STEAM AND VINTAGE FAIR One of the biggest commercial shows in the North, but of course also covering tractors, cars, bikes etc. and the annual ERF gathering. This year we hope to have Lo23 and North 3 together, if Lo23 is ready following painting at Geoff James Commercials in Nescliffe. At present, this seems very likely as progress is well under way. http://www.kelsallsteamrally.co.uk/ JULY 7TH & 8TH: THE AVRO HERITAGE MUSEUM AIR FAIR The superb AVRO Heritage Museum houses a unique collection celebrating the history of this famous company and the historic site which contributed so much to aviation history. Following the success of this event last year, they are increasing the attractions and making it a two-day extravaganza of all things aviation and transport related- classic cars, aero collectables and hopefully a fly-past of vintage aeroplanes. We have been invited to exhibit North 3 and hope to set up a working OB display. http://avroheritagemuseum.co.uk AUGUST 26TH AND 27TH : SHREWSBURY STEAM AND VINTAGE VEHICLE RALLY, ONSLOW PARK.

Here is the list of events so far :- North 3 Events 2018 MAY 5TH-7TH THE LLANDUDNO TRANSPORT FESTIVAL Superb show in a beautiful location, good access from the A55 coast road, and plenty to see in Llandudno itself - which hosts a special Victorian Extravaganza in the town centre, accessible by free vintage bus rides. Road run round the Great Orme. http://www.llantransfest.co.uk/ JUNE 23RD & 24TH: THE KELSALL STEAM AND VINTAGE FAIR One of the biggest commercial shows in the North, but of course also covering tractors, cars, bikes etc. and the annual ERF gathering. This year we hope to have Lo23 and North 3 together, if Lo23 is ready following painting at Geoff James Commercials in Nescliffe. At present, this seems very likely as progress is well under way. http://www.kelsallsteamrally.co.uk/ JULY 7TH & 8TH: THE AVRO HERITAGE MUSEUM AIR FAIR The superb AVRO Heritage Museum houses a unique collection celebrating the history of this famous company and the historic site which contributed so much to aviation history. Following the success of this event last year, they are increasing the attractions and making it a two-day extravaganza of all things aviation and transport related- classic cars, aero collectables and hopefully a fly-past of vintage aeroplanes. We have been invited to exhibit North 3 and hope to set up a working OB display. http://avroheritagemuseum.co.uk AUGUST 26TH AND 27TH : SHREWSBURY STEAM AND VINTAGE VEHICLE RALLY, ONSLOW PARK. A massive event with an incredible amount to see and do, from traction engine ploughing to a concours d'elegance for baby carriages!

I can recall many burglaries in broad daylight where houses have been targeted where they are on open-plan housing estates in full view of the Neighbourhood watch schemes! I know a couple in their 80s who were burgled at night:- While they were watching television one end of the house the burglars were ransacking the opposite end. That involved four burglers in their 20s all wearing black hoodies and scarves in a stolen new car with cloned number plates - career criminals. They even walked into the room where the occupants were sitting MF and asked if ?they had seen their kitten? whilst they were searching for money in the same room. There are foreign gangs carrying out spree burglaries in addition to those gangs with ?Irish accents? now that there?s less police about they are taking more chances and getting away with it. You probably appreciate that with this level of cheek in addition to the regular smack-heads and opportunist thieves, the height of our fences does not prevent our houses from being targeted.

However, I only mentioned the height of the fences because we has specifically requested lower fences as we cannot see the approaching school kids when we drive out. They installed what we had asked for and then changed them while we were away on holiday! I am told by my neighbours on the other side that there have been several burglaries in the area especially when people were away on? holiday and it is thought that it is an East European gang. CCTV would have helped identify them but this is a small suburban drive. Security lights wouldn't help as this was in the middle of the afternoon! Cheers, Dave. PS. Thanks for asking Mike, my jewels have shrunk to the size of prunes and nobody would want them!

Someone thought I should put lights in. There are LEDS, though it turns out that one is quite enough.

The RSPB recommendation is for 25mm. holes for coal, marsh and blue tits, 28mm. for great tits, and 32mm. for nuthatches, house and tree sparrows. We had a box, with Great Tits in, on the wall of the house just above the kitchen skylight, where we could see their comings and goings. One day there was the sound of a machine -gun and we could see a wood pecker doing his best to widen the hole! The RSPB website recommended putting a metal plate over the hole with the correct size hole in it (they sell them, btw), this I did and the next time the woodpecker tried to get at the babies he got a nasty headache!

He seemed very pleased to hear from me and reminisced a little, said he was 93, and that he and his wife were reasonably well. He also said if you or anyone else would like his number that would be ok, just email me for it.

We had the Flying Chair device attached to the front of the Mole Crane in the TV Theatre. Part way through the number, Rolf stepped onto the Flying Chair as extra weights were rapidly added to the bucket and the shot continued by craning up and around the set with RF in the foreground.

Yes, it is me, in the gallery and briefly at the outside rehearsal. I did wonder if that was the time referred to a little while ago, about being paid to appear in vision, but my memory is of an electronic camera being deployed in the sound control, and the Z-Cars footage looks like film? I feel a bit of a fraud, copping the in-vision exposure, as Z-Cars was not one of my regular shows on Grams. Marion Gates, our scheduling secretary for Grams and Sound Supervisors rang me at home one day, saying that she hadn't anyone to do a couple of Z-Cars, and could I do them, on the promise of getting all the Black & White Minstrels for the season. I'm still in touch with her - she married an engineer, meeting in Saudi, I think, and lives in France. I went to supper with her family in Paris when I happened to be filming there. Do you notice how smartly we dressed in those days!

To my mind the best was "When I'm cleaning Windows" which probably sums up my "old" outlook! As for the TV presentation it was mediocre and I found the constant cuts to the moving wide shot most irritating, as for me, I want to see the artist who is performing.

I'm reminded of working on a TV programme to celebrate Churchill's 90th. Here's a story: Gram Op Finger Trouble! In the 60?s I worked on a fantastic programme to celebrate Winston Churchill?s 90th Birthday. It took the form of a resum? of the entertainments that would have been prevalent during his life ?music hall ? plays etc. I was busy on most of the pre-recorded, well-staged reconstructions, and the whole thing was to be assembled like a live show in LG ?G?, with 625, 525 Ampex, 16 and 35mm telerecording also. The Director was Michael Mills, Len Shorey the Sound Supervisor. There were loads of telecine and VT inserts, Noel Coward live narrating in the studio, and lots of audio tape material of speeches and music. Accidentally, I forgot to close the fader after a piece of taped narration, and it ran on into the next cue! Michael Mills was furious and stomped into the Sound Control shouting at me: ?That?s going all over the World, and you?ve made a mistake!? I wished the floor would open. Just after that, there was a cut to a caption camera that focussed up late, on shot, then a VT insert was miscued, and the opening music bars were missed, so then it all came to a grinding halt. Of course, it all went back to the point of my mistake, so I was wearing it.

Message-ID: <56ee4cd82cdave@davesound.co.uk> Decided to change my car. For a another used one, not new. Had been looking for some time and eventually found the exact one for me. Had most of the money needed (after PX of the old one) in my current account. Likely just enough after this month's pension etc comes in. But 'one' doesn't want to be totally skint as regards ready funds. My current account has been in credit for as long as I can remember. And with current low interest rates, often a pretty healthy balance. All I wanted was a ?2500 overdraft facility. Didn't want to pay interest on money I don't need so not a personal loan over a fixed period. My online banking page appeared to offer just this. But on applying, seems not so. Up to 25 grand as a personal loan, OK. Fairy nuff, you'd say. But I have a second current account I set up and use as the treasurer of a small club. Income to that is about 40 quid a week and expenditure just the club premises rent, etc. Balance a couple of hundred quid. That offered me a 2250 overdraft online. Thinking there was some mistake, I PM'd my bank via their secure message service. And got a very condescending reply saying that if I managed my finances carefully over the next 6 months or so they might review things. I'm thinking a detailed letter to their CEO is in order. If only to vent my spleen. ;-) Not wanting to loose the car having paid a deposit and made all the arrangements, I got a personal loan from my bank online. So the needed money is in my account now. Which cynical me thinks is what they wanted. I'd guess the reasons can be explained. Retired with a paid off mortgage and no debts. So no recent credit rating. Even although a millionaire on paper due to silly London property prices. -- *If horrific means to make horrible, does terrific mean to make terrible?

He was at the absolute depths of hopelessness. He went through detox and rehab several times, at crippling cost to us, but against all odds, he eventually came through it with a predicted 20% chance of staying ?clean?. Still in a very precarious state of health, he got a job in a call centre. Call centre employment was fiercely competitive, with sales targets that had to be met, and cash penalties or the sack if you didn?t. As it happens, he has the gift of the gab, and did well, selling all of the things you know about. He was one of countless others in the same situation as himself. Without doubt, that call centre saved his life. He had friends there who haven?t survived. It?s because of those targets and penalties that I suggest to you: don?t try and be a smart-ass wasting the caller?s time. He/she almost certainly doesn?t like it any more than you do. Just hang up and let them call the next number on the task list. As it turned out, it was a turning point for him, and now, ten years on, he?s doing well, married to a lawyer; has his own landscape gardening business, and now has two gorgeous little boys of his own. Now before you go, can I interest you in some 45% discount double-glazing? Regards to all, Nick.

As it happened they were for my wife who normally gets the Ibuprofen via a prescription, but although she had added them to her normal list, the surgery hadn't included them in the prescription which would have been large packs, hence me having to get a smaller number over the counter. I don't know if I would have been allowed to buy more than two packs though. Years ago, Tesco put a restriction on how many packs you can buy in the same way as Sainsburys, but I think that the company also stops mixing packs - that is, if you try and buy paracetamol and Ibuprofen together you are restricted to one pack of each. Now I can remember when you could buy jars of 1000 aspirin!

There is a specific exception for long term arthritis (it's on page 12) "General Exceptions to the Guidance: There are however certain scenarios where patients should continue to have their treatments prescribed and these are outlined below: * Patients prescribed an OTC treatment for a long term condition (e.g. regular pain relief for chronic arthritis or treatments for inflammatory bowel disease)." So it could be that your GP practice or CCG is stepping outside the guidelines. Bill J -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Always proper 60/40 and not this leadfree stuff. The only hazardous bit is the fumes from the pill which are a bit nasty when it gets hot - take care. The knife method risks cutting the very thin cores and burning it off leaves a burnt residue which stops the solder tinning the wires.

Sounds like the irritating cables that have the minute conductors wound round a cotton centre? They always come unwound when trying to solder, but I never heard of the Asprin solution. I assumed that the tablet was to relieve the headache after being defeated with the repair! As a sideline, I used to make my own TX aerials, (dangly variety, as UHF now utilises stubby ones) for VHF Audios, from Sennheiser headphone cables which were steel, soldered well and were robust. Also could be cut to the exact length for the frequency involved. (Kish at Audio gave me the calculation formula). Don't ask me that - my 75 year old brain is porridge!

When I finally managed to look at my TSB account the other day it was missing my BBC Pension entries.? Off I later went to the branch in Woking where they showed me that all is well. Before that though, I went to the BBC Pensions online system. Don't know if you've tried it, but it has a verification system unknown to other services. It's far easier to get into my bank accounts? (usually), and I'm currently locked out for the second time in three days. It asks you for a user name and password - no problem - then three verification questions. None of your "mother's maiden name" stuff here.? So I've written to them - ?+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ OK - I officially give up. I'm a TSB customer, and my BBC Pensions payments are missing from the TSB online system, though I've now checked with TSB and all is well. Having noticed the lack of BBC Pensions entries on my TSB online statement, I moved on to My BBC Pension Online. I'm told that there's a survey you can fill in, and the phone help lady urged me to do so. No good though if you can't even log in. I've never seen such a stupid awful validation system - my banks are far easier to get in to. Favourite food - Don't have one. Did I put in Thai or Chinese? Was the entry capitalised?? Don't know. Does it matter? Don't know. Favourite film - Don't have one, so put down Blade Runner. Can't see the text - did I get it right? What if it had been The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus? Eldest cousin- Only seen him once in 50 years. When we were kids we called him Bill or Billy. Which did I put? Don't know. Was it capitalised? Currently I'm locked out for the second time in three days. Have I ever got in? I'm just short of my 71st birthday. At the BBC I was a senior tv features producer. I also wrote the computer programme that scheduled all of BBC World tv for it's first nine years. Since I left the BBC I've written a logging system for a flying club in HTML5, PHP and SQL, and I've also written a lowerthirds supering system using Livecode and CasparCG, for a university tv studio. I run a number of email lists for retired staff. I'm reasonably computer literate. If someone like me has problems with your system, what trouble must others have? Each time I've written a computer system I've picked out the least computer literate of the potential users and tried on them first. Did you do that?

I thought that I could find that out on the My Pensions site. Whether I could or not I don't know, but the lady on the phone enquiry line just asked for my name, date of birth and pension number or NI number.? She said yes it had, so off I went to the TSB who agreed. Only the TSB online system disagreed. It still isn't working correctly. I expect it's revenge for Gibraltar.

Quite. Recently phone my bank. No light task these days. And it seems I don't know my mother's maiden name correctly - the only security question of that sort I was asked. If I had changed it for any reason, I can't remember why or to what. And no idea how to sort it out. -- *A day without sunshine is like... night.* Dave Plowman dave at davesound.co.uk London SW 12 From bernie833 at gmail.com Mon Apr 30 06:41:32 2018 From: bernie833 at gmail.com (Bernard Newnham) Date: Mon, 30 Apr 2018 12:41:32 +0100 Subject: [Tech1] Test for Nick Way Message-ID: <901eb94f-b68a-314d-4d43-e6b760080ac6@gmail.com> Test for Nick Way -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
