I remember flying to Oslo Torp airport with RyanAir. Three sodding hours from Torp airport to Oslo. Thats like saying London-East Midland or London-Robin Hood Airport. They were dead to me before Michael O'Leary stuck his oar in re Rwanda. We have got to the stage that we actively avoid RyanAir and pay more to anybody else.

Now thats just greedy

@Owen I thought that was just me. I have a Mod_dwarf which could probably take me to the moon and back, but it's complicated. So I go back to simple things and keep thinking I must get back to the Mod Dwarf and set it up properly. I don't.

And to everybody else....

Sony They supplied software that spied on me through their CDrom. Never brought another Sony product again. As I also used to buy large numbers of pcs, think 1000's a year, made sure Sony never supplied a single one.

I'm sure that the buyer was genuine and was alternating between working in the Shetland Isles as a lobster fisherman and a highly paid city lawyer. He probably accidentally left his ultra expensive Martin guitar as he had other legal things on his mind. These things happen, and for some reason, often on Gumtree. Perfectly innocent and believable explanation IMHO. Rob

Good ideas. Will do so.

We have the village hall the whole day Saturday which effectively means from 1900 or so Friday to 0800 Sunday. I was going to suggest 0900 to 1700 for Satu but it's whatever we want. We have the kitchen as well so I might be persuaded to do bacon sarnies or similar to get the things going.

I’ll add you in then

You move in better company than me....

Then I am following in the footsteps of giants. How much time do you think I would get with £500 for a 59 Les Paul owned by Bonamassa? I'm happy to let him have it for a few weeks a year as he does have a few gigs arranged.

You can buy two or more shares...

I've signed you up...

So if 45 of us each do £500, we're there. That means we each get it for 194 hours per year. That's over a week, a whole week. I'm happy to act as the distribution hub so people can collect and drop off. No charge for this service. So we only need another 43 of us....

We could each put in a sum of money to buy itand time-share the guitar between us. With my £7.99, I get it for approx 45 seconds on April 16th. Mmmm...actually thats an interesting idea. Not sure I can afford £22.5K. but I could do a chunk of it. rob

@ossyrocks PM sent

Mmmmm..... Not sure what the last price was, but I'd want to pick it up in person and check it very carefully if I'd made an offer on it.

That's just the sort of economic argument I fall for.... I can buy these and say I've saved £8k.

Have now sanded, primed, filled, primed, felled again, sanded again and readied the pickguard. about to paint it in satin black. Wish me luck <gulp>

This works perfectly well as a three port 4k kvm. One of the usb ports doesn’t work, port 4 from memory. All of the other ports 1-3, hdmi and usb, work fine. it’s red and looks like this https://amzn.eu/d/dYVJHdU It has the correct PSU but I have reused the cables on the nice new KVM I brought to replace it. it supports keyboard switching, so scroll lock-scroll lock-<number>, so you don’t take your hands off the keyboard. You can also use the front panel. I ran it on a 1920x1200 monitor as well as 1920x1080. It’s a good unit but I needed four ports and brought the upmarket four ports, two monitor version. Just plug it in and off you go. No software needed. Works on macs, though scroll lock isn’t on a Mac keyboard, so you can’t use a Mac keyboard to change monitors but the front panel buttons work fine, Windows, Linux and Raspberry Pi’s. ill post for cost, probably around £6-£8 or you can pick up for free from the NW and Scotland Bass Bash in Clapham, North Yorkshire. yes I have two KVM’s in the recycling section 😁 thanks rob

Last chance for this otherwise it goes in recycling…

Absolutely fine. Might be interested in the Explorer myself. Always looking for a quiet unassuming guitar that sits in the background...

Over £1,000 now. Whats peoples best guesses on the eventual price?

Nope, I have my own little business specialising in complex IT project management, rescues and recovery mainly for the UK Govt. I'm never out of work Rob

I'll try and do it today, but work has suddenly gone into firefighting mode in the last 45 mins. <sigh>
