I heard a rumor that Ms. Tac has a genny mounted on a bicycle. She threatens poor Terry to sleep in the chicken coop if he doesn’t peddle enough each day to charge up the batteries. If he works really hard and gets the batteries extra full, he gets an hour on the inter-web. But first he has to tighten the string between his tin can and his ISP so when he yells ONE or ZERO they can tell the difference. On a good day he can get up to 4 bits/second.

If his livin conditions is that primitive, then how is he on-line???
IMPORTANT NOTICE
For future reference - please note that mention of our primitive lifestyle [and yes, we DO live in a small village] made from time to time in my occasional posts, are in the nature of a gentle leg-pull to those of you over there who believe that progress in these islands ended either contemporarily with the departure of the Romans or with the invasion of the Normans.
So, to avoid any future confusion among you, I will forthwith cease any attempt at injecting humour into my posts, and let you live in the uncertainty as to whether Europe - including the UK - DOES in fact live in the 21st century or is mired in the era of pre-moving type and castle-building.
In fact, it’s AGES since we gave up falling on our faces when a giant silver bird flew over, or gasping in amazement when one of our 35,000 American occupation force personnel wafted by in a horseless carriage, giving us something to talk about for the long evenings in our smoke-filled huts, apart from counting the cow-flops again, or gathering to watch a particularly interesting cloud shape developing and then disappearing.

Don’t let a few misguided folks spoil our fun!
Maybe this is Tacs’ secret?

Actually Harold Bate used to live, at one time, in the same town as I live. We are noted for fishing here so I never knew where he maintained his supplies.

Huh. That’s the last time WE have a confidential man-talk. You’d better have your bicycle back, too. I’ll leave it at Fred’s.

And now for something completely different, i.e. back on track, have you managed to find a fan suitable for the Crest unit?

Don’t get alarmed, just the wrong thread. (http://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-tongue-out.gif)
