It explains the logo on the T shirt.

Why the hell do you think they encase the works in steel and check for microwave leaks when they are serviced ?

Ye gods,  what next. 'Make your own tokomak' ?

None of your pictures appear  on this or earlier postings. Can anyone comment, please.

Windows 7 which has been checked for nasties by Norton 360 yesterday- if that is constructive information. Oh, yes, and I was X-Rayed and scanned yesterday, blood and piss taken as well :scratch:

 I'm not unduly bothered except that there is a 'lot of it' and 'everything' in the way of pictures is missing from our poster from earlier postings as well.

Shame really! Maybe there are others who are less vociferous?

U Tubes? Not much of a clue really. My physics teacher disappeared in a Lancaster somewhere over Germany- lost a lot of education. Tea shirts- aren't they the funny ladies wear picking tea bags in Ceylon or whatever it is called now?

I'm not very bright. You see we lived in a Blackout :lol:

Regards

Norman at a week off 84 :scratch:

I haven't watched it, I take skyrocket's word for it. Doesn't sound like enjoyable viewing.

Maybe this should be in the oops section?

(ps. I run Flash block and generally don't click in threads made up of video links that lack supporting  text or photos. I don't like waiting 5 minutes for titles, and introductions to find out what someone is eventually going to say, and 10 to see the fruits of their labor).

Of course I'll watch a doubleboost video, because I already know what I'm going to hear there! And for the educational value.....
I love it when a Plan B comes together!

Vsteam, I Agree about always watching Doubleboost's videos. Speaking of whom, he seems to be quiet lately, I trust he is just busy with life and not un-well. Also, I find with many videos that I skip forward when they start waffling on. I can always go back a few seconds IF I think I have missed something important.

Ah, just went off to youtube and looked for doubleboost's videos. He is alive and well just been too busy of late to do a lot of videos  but hss put a few new ones up.

At the last count, I have four microwave ovens.  My daughter was up rating her home- as daughters do- and we got her oven. So I have one here, one in my Spanish villa and two in 'Fergus oMore-land'

But microwaves are no great thing. They come in brand new  at - well, half the price of the Diesel to do a return trip to have a Haggis supper on my birthday on Wednesday. at the local chippie.

If they- that's the microwaves and not the haggis blow up- so what? Thirty quid(£30) is not going to excite many of us. If the 'whatever it is' on the internet doesn't materialise is not going to move my bowels or anything else.

Now I recall the late 'Blaster' Bates and his famous 'Shower of Sh1t over Chester' eulogy and that 'Sausage, Egg and Chips' was the only thing that turned him on.

So back to -Feeding the hospital cat- again


PS I should have said 'Cheshire'- it was quite a big bang :lol:
