Keep praying that they need somewhere bigger to store these beasts they keep popping, Paul, and you end up with a lovely quiet OAP moving in who's no bother and respects other people's peace n quiet.

We can but hope!

 

Well done, Richie.

You're one helluva Mr Fixit - congrats, mate.

I have an interesting fix if you fancy it... one of these:



Prob with it is this (a friend in Hull had a quick look)

The disco light LED is fine… the LED comes on briefly on self test, however is being switched off by the controller, there is no circuit diagram for it. It is made in China and distributed by a firm in Wales.

I’m convinced that it’s ok…. But the firmware is corrupt, I have no way of reprogramming it...

Any use sending it up, Richie?!

Have a good weekend, guys.

 

LOL!

I reckon yer right, Paul.

The light comes on very briefly when you 1st switch it on and then it goes off and doesn't come back on, Paul, so as a disco light.... it's pretty limited!

It swivels, tilts and pans like a good un to the music but it goes all shy on you with its bulb which remains... off!

I'll either bin it or use it as a crow scarer

 

Thanks very much, Richie.

I'll send it up to you back end of next week as it's still sat at my mate's in E Hull.

Cheers and don't mention today's score at the SOL... bad, bad, bad day at the office

 

Aye, Paul, we didn't see it coming. The hostile reception that the crowd gave the returning Alex Neil would appear to have backfired in that his team seemed to be determined to stuff the home abuse down their throats! He certainly had the last laugh and 43,000 (in the main) went home shell-shocked and thoroughly pished orf! Mind, Stoke had an excellent away day so at least the Potters celebrated with their best china, me old China!

 

As you know, I don't really follow footy these days, I was the football mad kid just like almost every other child, a new leather football was a present from the gods to me, didn't want to get an inch of it dirty, yet wanted to blast it in to the top corner

A combo of a new ball and a new set of Adidas Kick trainers was the best Xmas gift ever...

These days, not kicked a ball in years, partly because it hurts and mostly because my knee's / balance is so bad I tend to fall over doing the most simple stuff, booting a ball is way too technical these days

I do miss it all, I was always a kid running, jumping, climbing and generally not keeping still type of child.

 

Yep, Paul. A pair of Adidas Kick, a new United strip and a tango world cup football and basically you'd be out playing with yer mates having a kickaround pretending you were Bryan Robson, Kenny Dalglish, Ian Rush or climbing trees, building dens, exploring old warehouses etc until the cows came home/yer mam shouted for you to come in... six weeks summer hols lasted forever and the sun shone and shone so ice pops, penny sweets like Mojos, rhubarb and custard and cola bottles lasted all day too and then yer mate's mam might have you round for a soda stream too if you were in with the in crowd... bloody great days, lads, and these days all we've got to show for it is aching joints, arthritis and a few old polaroids of our glory days as we gaze back all misty eyed thinking... wouldn't it be lovely just to be able to do it one more time...



I couldn't tell you the last time I saw a group of kids out "larking".

They just do not do it anymore.
