Good grief ..

Tho I am reminded – as one is sometimes – when I was very small my dad had a scruffy black Ford Popular van (the gull-wing bonnet one, not the later 100E) – in Laindon High Street he had a VW beetle run into the back of it. Difficult to see any damage on the back of the van except that what passed for a rear bumper (a straight length of simple steel angle, also painted black) was slightly warped in the middle. The VW was totally stoved in. The guy said he'd only just had it repaired from when it had happened before!

The Ladybird book, that first piqued my interest in all things electric. No idea why it popped into my head on a Saturday afternoon in October 2021. Maybe the first step on the road to senility and decrepitude.

Here's something in particular...

Windows 11 has arrived - very demanding in processor power but the rewards.... are what?

Do we need to talk about kev, oops ... Win11?

Count yourself lucky you're only on the first step Steve

I used to love those Ladybird books (and the Woollies where I used to buy them and, when I was a little older, my Airfix models).

My favourute was about space, IIRC this it - I still have a mental picture of the illustration of the Woomera tracking station, which I tried to build with my Lego

This one had a lot to answer for

Amongst the weird ones I have:

Look I've read my Ladybird books, of course. I loved the News Chronicle series which actually got me out into the mountings looking for fossils but you lot who sound like you know what you're talking about.... Windows 11...

Funny you should ask. I've just had a customer ask if all our stuff is windows 11 ready...

...so I'm installing it on a spare pc in the next day or so...

Onwards!



or do we just have to!?


Gloom.

Magnets, bulbs and batteries - yes we played with 'em - wouldn't be allowed now of course .. far too dangerous

It's where it all started - well all that's worth bothering with.

Yeh but there was Meccano too ...

Certainly, Frank Hornby got it right in 1898.

Nah, Triangle got it right but like beta max ...
