I wouldn't care if Scotland wanted to be truly independent however the !st thing the fish woman would do is apply for EU membership. No way do we want an EU ran Scotland.

Dunno there was a lot of anti war rhetoric at festivals late 60's into the 70's. but not the politically woke BS that festival goers are brainwashed with now. Last festival I attended (i used to be a lighting tech so worked on lots) would of been V fest in 06 or 07 and i don't remember any of this BS back then.

Pretty sure they've been brought into the agenda, they both work for the BBC after all. Titchmarsh is a cock anyway, apparently a proper primadonna off camera. -

Was up about 8am this morning and it was beautiful blue sky in Manchester but one by one the trails arrived and by 11am it was a milky haze. lasted until about 4pm when i could see mostly blue sky again.

Its not that uncommon for a manufacturer to recall cars made years before if its a safety critical issue. my old Nissan X-Trail was recalled back in 2020 due to an airbag fault and that car was made in 2002. -
Im not really much of a Q aficionado, but i do keep an eye on this thread. just struck me that last post Dec 14th 2017 the !st and last sentences are both from the early 80's film War Games. question to the Q people on here is this normal for Q posts to reference old films and to start and finish with quites from the same film?

Remember them, I've got one. Bit modified mine tho with more modern motors controller and batteries and can do about 45mph so technically no longer street legal. its the closest thing ill have to owning an EV tho

They do tend to be easily repaired but the consumer level stuff especially late 70's 80's does have poor build quality, I have a Vaga Ruby radio from the late 60's and the build quality on that is excellent, however ive got later Vaga radios from the 70's and they are falling apart. The scientific and test equipment on the other hand is fantastic with very high build quality, I have a PA amp built in the 70's All valve technology with four 6L6 output valves and the build quality on that is amazing.

Oh dont get me wrong I greatly admire Russian engineering and Russian engineers. I have quite a collection of Russian built items manly computers and radios. Russian transistor radios from the 70's and 80's are some of the best around from an electrical point of view with additional amplification stages making them very sensitive and selective. there actual build quality however is pretty terrible with poor quality injection molded cases and awful PCBs with traces that lift as soon as they see a soldering iron. there home computers are the same, most are based off the British ZX spectrum from 1982 The Russians reverse engineered (or had a spy at ferranti) the custom ULA chip and implemented it using standard TTL logic ic's, Very clever of them and they do work however like the radios the build quality was awful.

Having worked with Russian electricians and witnessed there wiring an electrical fire wouldn't surprise me in the slightest.

Yea go ahead

I'd be interested in seeing what you have too, my background is in electronics.
