I have considered using a centre pop.
Maybe I should delegate the problem to someone else.
At this time 16 years ago, the much loved Fiat Croma bit the proverbial dust just as the 1st tower came down.
I drove it home, switched on the tv & watched the 2nd one coming down.
I thought the MOT test was joking when he said the first tower had collapsed.Comment

A hangover and Cyrillic subtitles on the tiny, badly tuned TV in the bar in Sofia limited my ability to judge what was going on. Lots a septic service persons were asking what was up. I didn't really give a tulip. Sitting here now, it was obviously a seismic event which is having continuing repercussions. At the time, much of what actually happened bypassed me as my sleeper train rumbled through Bulgaria/Hungary/Romania.
I went to the memorial place last October. It was raining. It felt like a place it should be raining.Comment

Shopping and monthly prescription collecting done
I'm surprised I've lasted this long given that every month when I go to collect my prescription, I forgot to take my own pen, and have to tick the boxes and sign the prescription to say I have a prepayment certificate using the pen on the counter that's been handled repeatedly by all kinds of diseased people
There was the odd smattering of rain here and there, but nothing worth worrying about. Then, as I emerged from M&S, a torrent of diluvial proportions descended. Luckily I was parked near the door and got into the car before the worst of it, but it was flooding the car park by the time I pulled out of my space, and I had to give a wide berth to several pools on the way over to Sainsbury's, about a minute's drive away via the dual carriageway
Now it's nice and sunny again, though with the odd drop still fallingComment

Coming to a British tourist, he opened with his standard line, "Where have you come from?" The Englishman replied "Wolverhampton."
"Wolverhampton? I don't know that town; what state is it in?" asked the president.
The man looked around at the devastation and replied, "Much like this really."Comment

So I went into the restaurant at work and had them tune into the news and watched the aftermath of the first plane and then the second one hit. And then the others after that.Comment

I used the centre pop a dozen times to shake things up, then found the mole wrench, & by great good luck it grabbed the shaft of the nut insert and I could just get the allen key into the cap and voila! the seal was broken & the safety screw unscrewed.
It's only taken 5 days.
The thing is now mounted on the ceiling and plug into the appropriate signal source, and can I find out how to invert the image?
Can I feck.
It's very bright though, so the kiddies ought to be able to read it now.
Much lighter than the previous model (as in "not so heavy", just to keep things clear).
And the throw is wrong, so the image is much bigger than the screen, so the mounting pole thing will have to move.
To exactly where one of the lights is currently living.Last edited by zeitghost; 11 September 2017, 15:19.Comment
