    No 'mince' pies this time - Cakes 'N' stuff instead so you will need to get in quick as I am sure they will disappear fast

    Surely, unless it is burnt to a crisp it is repairable?
    Surely

    It 'sort of' ran at the last meet?

    It has been running; happily scanning, blanking, and all ready to go...
    Then it was no more...

    6 months ago both myself and Rob started off with 40W+ of enthusiasm; now that's long expired.
    The massive amount of time and effort we've both put in (and Rob I'm MEGA grateful for your input on all this!!) hasn't paid dividends to put it politely.
    When it works, it's fcuk'in awesome; when it *fcuk's up* again, it's the EXACT opposite...

    To coin a phrase: "It's hell on wheels"

    Ok, this is a cry for help.
    I just finished packing, my hall looks like andy's pic and then twice the stuff !
    I urgently (but especially for the LEM ;-) need 12 M2 screws with a length of 5 or 6mm.

    Or, i no one has that, maybe some nuts m2 wire... then i could try to cut the ones i have now which are 10mm (i could screw nuts on them, cut them and unscrew all the nuts repairing the thread.

    I also posted this in the help section, don't get mad at me, i am really desperate.

    Oh and Andy: happy B-day man....

    Oh and the rest: i bought a lot of stuff for y'all, and 2 doorprizes and will be bringing a special surprise from Edison as a doorprize... So 3 doorprizes and a surprise for the first 20 of you to come in.

    have a nice day... now i will be packing my clothes and stuff.
    But that don't fit in the hall anymore so i keep that stuff upstairs.

    Maybe i check back later when i packed the clothing shizzle.
    I didn't fail !
    I just found out 10,000 ways that didn't work.

    Just finished packing the car

    Setting off just after lunch, nice steady drive down and should be at the hotel about 5/6pm ish.

    Meeting up with Dimitri this evening (similar time as he's managed to get an earlier ferry), and possibly Jim as well if he's well enough and disease free .

    Cheers

    Odd!

    I went to bed last night at 20:00hrs with a temperature and feeling quite crap.
    This morning I wake up feeling 100%! Very strange. I hope it's not one of these re-occuring jobbies that comes and goes.

    Anyway - I will make plans to be at the Ship at around 20:00hrs, after the skids have gorn to bed. Got a very busy day packing and kid watching

    And guess what ?
    Dimitri is already on the boat, ran like hell, to get to the sweet spot (with the free Wifi)...
    Just beat some dutch students to this place, just installed my gear, bought a coke (ofcourse) and 2 packs of crips, started up and those dudes came in... Too late !

    The captain is now speaking and we'll be sailing shortly.
    Around 2PM (1PM uk time) i will be there and then i have to drive 182miles to the Ship in.
    Traffic looks good, only busy around london, so i hope not much road works taking place...
    and if all is well Jem and i (and hopefully Jim if he feels better) will be having dinner in the ship ;-)

    Looking forward meeting u all guys !
    I didn't fail !

    So will you be having dinner with us then, or do you eat dinner at home and just join us for some drinks and chat ?

    Glad you're feeling better Jim. Dimitri, I hope you have a smooth and uneventful crossing. Take care on the drive up, see you this evening.

    Oh, Jim, any chance of bringing the HeNe with you this evening?, I need something nice and warm to keep me company in my room ;-)

    Cheers
