I actually met him in 1972 ( I think). I was working on a 5kW. transmitter at Walvis By radio station (ZSV). I was working behind the transmitter and he popped out from the side of the transmitter and said "Hi what are you doing?" I had know idea who he was. There were always a lot of...
Haven't see those type of shades available for a long time. They were used with incandescent light bulbs. There are so many LED mains operated lamps, all types of shapes and wattage now available, some self contained not requiring a separate shade.
naughty : Not cinema, but have you seen or watched any of the "Foundation" TV series? Just wondering what your thoughts on it are. I thought plot and special effects to be excellent.

Must be about the third time "Dune" has been as a movie. Is OK, I suppose, but I hope part 2 is produced by Warner Bros. The story is only half way through. Warner Bros. hasn?t greenlit the project yet but it?s likely that they?ll observe the box-office figures over the coming months or...
I guess I'm old school! How can some one that has never met you, send a request like this by media? Surely the right way is for your neighbour to come across and introduce himself. You should not respond to the message and wait to see if they at least phone and speak directly to you.
" Foundation " brilliant new Si-Fi from Isaac Asimov. This is epic! The special effects of star ships and other space scenes are really great. The scenes remind me a bit of Dune.

Concur with what Eric says, Last electrolytics that I sourced from Mantec were rated at 450 VDC. so two in series should be good for 900 VDC. I often use caps in series and parallel in vintage valve radio power supplies. The modern caps are physically small and can normally be stuffed in to the...
Yes, just like I read. USA president Biden was quick to appease the American public by telling them that the ISIS commander who had carried out the bombing at Karbul airport had been eliminated by a drone strike. What a lot a BS! all they managed to do (from their air-conditioned center some...
When it comes to weather report, the quickest and precise is on newly liberated TV station in Kabul, now run by the Taliban. The presenter just says, " Allah knows!".
Did my e-filing on Saturday evening (14th. Aug.) and SARS paid in R 18000-00 + into my Standard Bank account on Tuesday 17th. Aug at 07:30.
I think getting the refund in 3 days was great! Can't complain about SARS this year........ :thumbs:
OK... Had a fundi take a look that deals and breeds reptiles and snakes and says they definitely brown house snakes (eggs). Have not seen any around my property for years. I won't disturb them and hope they hatch, maybe some competition against all the gecko's. If they were something venomous...
Found these in a hole which I think was buried by the soil but recently exposed after heavy rain. Are these frog eggs? Can't think of any other critters could be laying eggs this time of year.
