I never mentioned being inactive - I do similar to you on other blogs and not an issue.

There is no advantage in disruptive returning. I find it advantageous to give disruptive people an easy opportunity to leave, and usually they do.

Neil, is this not made more difficult for you in that having become a member, it is very difficult to unsubscribe - so you finish up with loads of "odd" people who are unhelpful but they are trapped in.

You could make it easier for them to go?

It might be me, but I can't see what this has to do with the BBC.

What did you expect them to say Neil - "Thanks very much, we hadn't realised that - we'll sell up and go somewhere else"

Tongue-in-cheek comment - I am moving in next door and looking forward to some help with my DIY from a local innovative beekeeper with spare time.

Good old LBSC was a great user of good old pumice powder, then available in different grades.

Unlikely you will find it in the local Wilko methinks.

Edit - loads of it on eBay - but probably stick to what Julian says?

Mmm!! I would think long and hard before I poisoned a Mac with microsoft in any way.

Those who have escaped and climbed over "Win's Dyke" rarely wish think they should climb back over it.

Wish I'd seen this two days ago. I am one of the latest victims.

Last time I did it voluntarily and had to go back because I have some expensive video software which was iffy on 10. Unfortunately last time I reverted back and landed in the blue screen of death and a bill for £60 and a fortnight to fix.
Looking for a suitable juncture to dump microsoft altogether like OuBallie.

The elf n safety mindset gives the feeling someone will have prevented them from harming themselves. You could argue that is what is happening by withdrawing information.

Agree, but I think they shouldn't be on the platform edge either.

The abuse station staff get whilst trying to keep people back is saddening.

With respect to the saddle clamp, a chap calling himself staffordshirechina posted this picture in another forum showing his solution for re-positioning the saddle clamp after DRO installation which appealed to me.

It is of no consequence really - a bit like rivet counting, but if you search on the net you have to do it twice, once for each spelling. Still, it pales into insignificance compared to the effort in making one!

This is what I use for Serious Suckin as Steve Wright might say on Fridays at 4.15. It was not the cheapest and bought before the EU started to dictate the max power of vacs, but certainly clears up the crap.

The adaptor on the top is used to remove the ash from the grate of my loco after running. I'm never going to take a grate out again - except to replace it of course.

I am indebted to you for this new information. The only thing I can add, politely, is both statements are incorrect.

Anyway, we are getting off-topic.

Muzzer, what you see is half of the class B (push-pull) modulator stage of a 250kW hf transmitter. If memory serves me right, in order to modulate a 250kW a.m. transmitter to 100% modulation you need 125kW of audio.

The 250 kW rf stage has two identical valves but in class C, also with vapor cooling.

By vapor cooling I mean water is boiled in the boiler the valve sits in and there is a small amount of waterflow to top it up which goes over a weir and flows down the pyrex tubes. The steam goes outside to be condensed and back in the tank. Hope I have this right from school but the latent heat of vaporisation of pure water is 539cal per gram, so by letting the water boil at 100 deg C, you can transfer the heat with 1/539 of the waterflow that would be required for water cooling at 99 deg C.

Incidentally, the valve sits on a viton O ring to seal it which is about 8in diameter and 1/4 in cross-section - just like a big version of what we might use on our locos.

Muzzer, the valve above is an EEV valve, built at Chelmsford. It produces 125kW of audio.

Time to look at a real valve methinks - one with vapour cooling....

Customer in fish shop, "Can I get cod and chips please."

"No, I will get it for you!"

I suggest it is time to stop this.

Yes, you are correct - it was late and I missed out pi. Perhaps it would be better if I missed out on a few more pies!!

Very much agree.
