We'll see you Dec 2nd in Kendal as 1) Thats the closest to us and 2) its next to my birthday. Thanks Rob

Would love to see one North West. I can offer the local village hall in Clapham, North Yorkshire if it helps.

Hi Roj Welcome to the board officially. Love Thin Lizzy. Can you PM me if you’re playing anywhere NW England this year. Would love to come and see you play. Rob

Now sent and apparently Royal Mail delivered next day. Thanks for all the interest. rob

I have two unopened still in packaging Ender 3 Pro Magnetic Mats. These are the decent mats, not the crap from China that tear after one use. No longer neeed as I sold my Ender 3 Pro. No use to me, free to a good home. I'll post them for a small donation of your choice to the North West Air Ambulance I'd rather split Thanks Rob

But apart from that….

The Serial No doesn’t work either

I'd love to commision a bass version of this, would £75 be enough, I could go to £100 if I push the boat out. I can try and sell one of the kids again, but each time I do this, the buyer comes back and demands a refund. In all seriousness, I'd just hang it on the wall on a rotating peg and just look at it. Some people pay seriously silly money for art. To me, this is just as good. I'm very much in the form follows function camp, Bauhaus and all that stuff. This blows that principle out the water. Rob

Wow, fabulous and utterly stunning. I'm somewhat pleased that I will never be good enough to play such a fabulous guitar, I could never do it justice, so there's absoutely no point in me having it. My mediocrity saves me here. There's nothing else I can say. It's a work of art. Rob

Thanks, I'll send it to PaulThePlug. If he can't use it, I'll ask him to forward it on to somebody else. Rob

I use Linux a lot at home but it's all server based and on an ESXI server. I downsized from a 32GB i7 ESXI to an i5 16GB ESXi server to save electricity. I run 6 or 7 VM's including the main firewall. Very secure and dead easy. I have run Linux desktops but its still not ready for most non-technical uses. I'm a big fan of Linux for the server and we have run very large databases on it with zero effort. Cost to us £0, an Oracle version would have cost circa £1M. I have to look at the mails but I think you are third in the queue. Thanks Rob

Richard, Running Linux on an ipad is an interesting exercise. I can still recall downloading Yyradsill (how do you spell it?) via UUCP onto 5.25" floppies in the early 90's. I suspect that dates me somewhat. The Ipad Air 2 is a later model and whilst it's possible (I suspect) to backport it, my days of rebuilding Linux kernels is a loooooong way behind me. I still have nightmares and therapy about trying to get a symmetrical kernel built in the late 90's, I spent months trying to debug it and failed miserably. Running make -j and trying to guess the number of parallel builds threads I could run. I have better things to do with my life, including learning Money from Pink Floyd. I would be delighted to give it to someone who can use it, but it's an old lady now. It was my first iPad and has sentimental value, but I have an iPad Pro for general use and a dedicated iPad for Bias FX 2. The kids have more recent ones and this is just left on the shelf. I just want someone to use it, I don't really care what for, but is such a waste to throw away. Rob

Paul The iPad is running IOS 5, thats pretty old. It plays videos well but I have no idea if it would support anything like you're looking at. I would be delighted if it did, but you'll need to check IOS versions and software versions. if you can use it, its yours. Rob

Original 1st Gen. 64gb. Pretty much mint condition. Only supports ios5. whilst this is old, I hate to just throw it away. I work in IT and even I can’t find any use for it. I am happy to post it for free so long as you can make use of it. It even comes with a leather case. It’s such a waste to bin it 😒 rob

Money from Pink Floyd. Still struggling around the bridge in the middle. No matter how I play it doesn't sound right

Ander They look spot on, if you ever fancy a colour change, I’ll happily take them off your hands at absolutely no charge to you at all. Can’t say fairer than that. rob

99/100 I would rather poke my eyes out with a sharp stick, stuff honey in them and roll in a ant hill full of fire ants rather than look at a green guitar. This is the 1/00. They look absolutely spot on. I'd put them on and flaunt them in my house. Rob

Thank you, very helpful. Always good to learn something new. Rob

You are such a cynic

Whats the difference please? Always good to learn new things. Thanks Rob

Fenders got sold and taken everywhere, I'd be astonished if there aren't any in Addis Ababa. The pictures show that somebody understands the need to show the parts that make the guitar up. Whether they are the same person as the seller is a different point. I did a reverse lookup on Google images of the picture showing the end of the Fender neck and didn't find a match, also did the headstock wth the serial number and couldn;t find a match. I could be doing something wrong though I did find a lot of similar but different images. £700 + £100 delivery is cheap though, but not quite supidly cheap. Almost tempted to take a punt as he says he takes PayPal. I'm sure there will be a reason why PayPal will refuse to pay when a pile of broken firewood turns up though. The lack of decent feedback with three transactions is probably the biggest red flag. eBay doesn;t give any information on what was transacted so could be a 1p digital download (well known scam to get your feedback up), or a £250,000 Porsche GT3 Somebody might think it worth a gamble, I'll pass. Rob

I like the Dutch auctions. Start the bidding at £1,500 and drop it down £50 a day until it sells. No messing around. Im going to try that with a Lunt Solar telescope I’m selling. Not eBay of course.

People are weird. They value things more based in their perception. When we lived in London, I tried to give my daughters bike away. Nothing wrong with it, a pink Ridgeback from memory, 18" wheels, scratches here and there but nothing serious. Left it outside with a big note saying "free". Was there for a few days but nothing. We changed the sign one night to say "£20 and put the money through the letterbox" and it went before morning. Of course there was no £20 but since it was originally free , we didn’t care. I can easily imagine something not selling here but going for more on eBay. This is a tougher gig and most people are aware of what things are worth. EBay has an eclectic crowd , this can be seen in the eBay forum here of weird and wonderful. I love the latest headless acoustic guitar in there. I actually thought steampunk when I saw it rob

The vendor has apologised, said i can keep the other one and is sending "the correct one". We'll see what turns up. Rob
