    I'm interested in the technology of music and film production and broadcasting and so on. I find high tech manufacturing very interesting as well. Things like CAD, CNC machines, robots, coordinate measuring machines and so on.
    While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

      You would have liked where I used to work then. Ulf Merbold used to sit in the office next to me and was always popping in asking how to use the office systems (he used to quite often have e-mail problems) and Helen Sharman was quite often around...I still have a few bits and pieces from when I worked in that area.
      Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

              I have card with a pencil cross on it made on the Moons's surface by the crew of Apollo 15, a silver medal and cert that was carried to the Moon by the crew of Apollo 13 (didn't land).

              A US Navy MKIV pressure helmet perhaps used by Neil Armstrong during high high altitude test flights but can't be confirmed as yet.

              Almost all of the Mercury, Gemini, Apollo crew autographs, some I've met with.

              Then there's the ground controllers during that era like Gene Kranz who I talk with.

              I could go on...

                I used to work with all that stuff. Loved it. I never collected it though.

                  I don't really collect stuff. Although ms doodab would strongly disagree

                    Hmmm collections...

                    I may be a bit of a magpie; what with 120+ Board games, 1000+ Novels (mostly Sci Fi / Fantasy), Comics (2000AD), Dice, CCTG (2000+ MTG cards), 30 or so RPG’s, Warhammer Table Top (in many formats)
                    Growing old is mandatory
                    Growing up is optional
