    Retirement age of Pink Fishers

    Just coming up to 64. After working for an international publisher with stints in London, NZ, Canada, and London again, I took voluntary redundancy in 1999, using the package and some share options to buy a business, a book shop with a publishing business and library supply arm. Sold out in 2016...

    USB Cables for Audio

    But even that article points out that it would take a poor, probably below spec cable to even begin to make a difference that might just be audible. That's very far from the notion that there is any sort of nuanced differentiation possible between a bog standard but properly specified USB cable...

    USB cable makes a difference shock!

    This test shows that the difference in the cables is measurable but below the human hearing threshold. Can you show any test results to show that the difference is audibly affecting other attached kit? If not, yours is a rhetorical question only in the context of this test.

    Poll

    The obvious answer is that the government was instructed by the referendum vote to leave the EU. No specific terms were mentioned on the ballot paper, and leaving without any sort of agreement, ie just walking away would be a breach of our treaty obligations so the conclusion must be that...

    Earthrise

    When you consider it even the USS Enterprise may have been on a mission to boldly go and seek out new worlds etc, but was principally a large, armed to the teeth warship taking peace and goodwill out to the rest of the galaxy at the point of a phaser.

    Scanner for PC

    For the occasional A4 document - pretty much any will do, buy any reputable make such as canon, HP, Lexmark etc on price. If you have more than that to do, you may want to consider at least getting a fairly quick model, and may be even one with auto feed, though they tend to be expensive and...

    What you want (or are getting) for Christmas?

    I’ve asked for a rechargeable cordless angle grinder. Don’t ask! Ps, a chocolate orange would be nice, too

    Received Blank Lined Paper In Envelope By Royal Mail

    Yes, the last thing you want is parties a, b, and c patching up their differences andeciding the one thing they all agree on is that it is all YOUR fault. Don’t laugh, I’ve seen it happen!

    Turning off and un-plugging the gramophone when out of the house.

    1 Mcb in my consumer unit feeds my kitchen including the fridge and the spur for the central heating pump and controller. If I’m away over night or more I leave that one on and 1 of the lighting circuits with a couple of strategic lights including the pir lights outside on it. I just flick off...

    NAP 140 v NAP 180

    Basically two banana plugs with plastic shrouds removed soldered at right angles onto the stripped back end of the speaker cable in parallel, one at the tip, one a little lower down, the gap between the two is set at the same spacing as between the two sockets on the back of the speaker. The two...

    Interserve looking close to going bust.

    You’d have think someone would have worked out by now that the two words are not unconnected:rolleyes:

    The Great Brexit Bake Off

    Not from the EU, anyway! I’m sure an African nation will take pity and send an aid shipment of them, when they hear of our plight. Or perhaps we’ve already started stockpiling them:)
