Hi all,

'Umble hapologies!  My NEW poota went belly up!  The motherboard and the hard-drive went.

My mate Jim - WhoKnowsAboutTheseThings - has fixed it but had to get new parts because E-BUYER (remember the name and pass it on!) wouldn't honour the guarentee. They said the motherboard was damaged by us (I wouldn't even take the top off a computer 'cos I'm scared of the bits inside!  and I watched Jim strip it out to the Shuttle and pack it in the box.  Definitely not damaged when it left us.

So the answer is don't trust E-BUYER.

So there seem to be lots of blogs to catch up - can't wait for a Vivienne Westwood bag and matching ear-rings! (who is Vivienne Westwood anyway?).  Hopefully that rubbish will be wiped soon.

To date only one person has responded to the gold panning weekend.  It started as a request from the guy who organises the Swanage Folk Festival craft site to take him gold panning. When I saw him last weekend he told me he couldn't go because his narrow boat (lives on it) was going into dry dock that weekend. So I think in view of the lack of response I am going to cancel it.  Steve would still like to do it, so perhaps it can be resurrected next year.

Regards

John
