  1. Couldn't get to the top spot because of bloody Joe Dolce....
  2. Nor me- I passed on it since it's nowhere near as nice as my current example. Just kidding...:-(
  3. I once wrote to Jim to ask if he could fix it for me to be on 'It's a Knockout'. Seemed a good idea at the time....
  4. Just hold a convex lens over the camera lens. Job done.
  5. .....this is in the 'Stuff to Make us Laugh' section, after all....:-)
  6. I agree - just the word order threw everyone....shame. Mind you, "and were your from" was ignored....newbies scrutinised, regulars' mistakes disregarded? The normal human condition?
  7. Ok- this sent by a client in Ontario. I'm still laughing. Don't watch if you can't cope with swearing.... Bye Bye Boris - YouTube.webloc
  8. I'd say it was found in the road, after having been driven over many times, by the look of the damage...
  9. Oh right- now I've got to look at all my 1929's and 1861's again...more varieties very day!!
  10. I didn't know Rob had a large library and sells books either.... ...that's useful info. Are the sales just on this forum, or does he have a website?
  11. ah...I'm trying not to use a laptop or smartphone as a remote, and I'm not bothered about the storage size- I just want the video to 'loop through' the camera into a remote monitor, so I can monitor continuously... Maybe I'll find that the first problem is stopping the camera going to sleep...
  12. I wonder if anyone on here can answer this question.. Have there been cheap digital cameras that have the ability to output video all the time, and have a wired remote input so, for example, with it on a telescope, or facing a bird table, I can check what it's seeing remotely, and take a picture remotely, and without any shake....? I don't want to get an expensive one and expose it to damage- I want to mess about with a cheap secondhand one....
  13. If you really mean no, send them this:
  14. Nicely made. For scale, the top of box 12cm square. Maybe a sighting cross staff? The base is just a tapering hole as if it just sits on a pole....
  15. Dr Heisenberg might have been a member of this forum.....
  16. Remember when you used to look at a pile of ED v11 pennies and could pull out the 1909 ones just by the colour? Were they renowned as a weak strike?
  17. ...or maybe the annealing process was different, so the metal was harder before being struck, or work hardened differently in the fraction of a millisecond while being struck, thus flowing differently....
  18. This, I've realised, heavily influenced me. The music is where the Human League were when they started.....amazing for it's era....

  19. he has a certain 'something'....right on the edge, and he goes right up to it, but not over.....a very very difficult thing to pull off. Telling Simon McCoy that he's done really well for himself even though he is a man with 'limited skills' made me spit my coffee out....
  20. Ahh...I tried to post it from twitter and it gave me a 403. I don't 'do' Twitter or Facebook, I'll hasten to point out.... this clip isn't on Youtube for some reason. I must experiment....
