    Ageing.

    I was first introduced to a main frame on a control engineering course at Southampton College of Technology in 1975. We were given the task of writing a small computer program for a proportional band calculation. You would write out your code than the staff would prepare the cards and feed...

    Ageing.

    👍 Of course back in the day I could always talk to somebody on the other side of the world on a Morse Key, and explain my conspiracy theories to them. e.g. There's giant alien spaceship hiding in the asteroid belt and beaming an insanity beam at the Earth. You want proof ? ... watch the news.

    Coronavirus.

    All this reminds me of a lesson I learned many years ago. 'Don't piss over the weather side of the ship.'

    Does anyone know..?......Just ask a question.

    Purely added for interest my pix was taken from an old Stafford Handbook I have, published in 1906, so the the photo predates that year.

    What are you listening to right now?

    I'm sure there are a few of us who remember playing one of these things at school. Seemed such a simple instrument. But you get someone who can play it, and some film music from the likes of James Horner ... well ... that's very pleasing to the old lugholes.

    Give us a joke... go on it might be funny :)

    Somehow the phrase: 'I was abducted by Zenomorphs for strange sexual experiments' just doesn't have the same ring to it. :P

    NEW NEW CONSERVATIVE LEADER/PRIME MINISTER.

    You do have to wonder how the cabinet meet in the that room in Nr 10. The stink of corruption in there must be rank !!! :urgh:

    Does anyone need help?

    Been in Barnstaple Hospital for a few days having 4 units of blood dripped into me after chemo-complications. So not really firing on all cylinders. :(

    Today I saw...

    Yes that's the one. It passed to the North of the UK, but the southside of a northern hemisphere depression is usually the windiest. Hence you can see the isobars are packed more tightly.

    Today I saw...

    There are times when I miss the sea and the job that went with it. But not today I think. That's some bloody hooley blowing in the Atlantic, stretching practically from Ireland to Canada. Pretty much unavoidable if you're on the North Atlantic Run. ◄---- turns fire up.

    What are you listening to right now?

    The only way I'm going to pay Charon for taking me across the River Styx is if he has this music playing on this instrument. If he he fails in that, he'll get kicked in the nads, thrown over the wall and I'll nick his boat. (That should liven Hades up a bit.)

    NEW NEW CONSERVATIVE LEADER/PRIME MINISTER.

    It does make you wonder if they should fit permanently revolving doors on Nr 10 (preferably with a piranha tank fitted underneath them.) :facepalm::P
