    But it's a tank!
    OK, so it's not a tank. It's only an armoured personnel carrier.

        There is a video of it squashing cars but my "up to" 8Mb broadband is running at 1600 Kbps and it is stopping every few seconds to re-buffer making it unbearable to watch.

          Oops - due to over-enthusiastic tapping of the "Download" button I now have a copy of Jerome K Jerome's Three Men on the Bummel translated into Catalan

            Many years ago I invested in a spiffy power supply. It provides about 10 different output voltages. It comes with 12 or 14 connectors each of which can be turned so as to provide reversed polarity.

            It's a great gadget.

            I bought it when a power adaptor got broken about 15 years ago.

            The doobrie that holds the connectors went into one box of bits. The adaptor itself went into another.

            Since then, the connectors and the adaptor have never been brought back together.

            When we were packing up for this move, I came across each component so neither has been lost. But where they are now, I am not sure.

              Had a nice time, didn't get to traipse around cambridge as Mr Nor had a hangover (might have summat to do with the flight of wines accompanying the meal, as soon as I mentioned to the sommelier that I was interested in wines and also used to work as a sommelier, the glasses got a little too full )
              .

              You've got to watch those sommelier chappies as they'll try and flog you 400 quids worth of plonk if you're not careful
              Went to Cambridge for a weekend once and it was lovely. I was in the wrong company though ...
              I bet the Norpusses were glad to see you when you got back

                    May I suggest investing in a pack of Velcro cable ties? Better than sliced bread, IMHO.

                      I've got some of those. They are in my cable box somewhere ...
