Due to deteriorating health, I am selling the contents of my workshop. Nothing can (or will be able to) be posted, so it will mean collecting from Crowborough, East Sussex, if you're interested. The scroll saw has gone and I won't be selling either my Makita compound mitre saw, or my Triton...

I hear from a mutual friend that Regina, Niki's widow, would be pleased to receive individual e-mails from his fellow woodworkers and forum contributors. Her e-mail address (not a link, to avoid address-harvesters) is

I don't think I've ever seen anything quite like this before. :) Ray

I have no connection with the company, but highly recommend their viewer, available as freeware here for those not already aware of it. As a serious photographer, with loads of image work to do on a regular basis, I particularly like the extra information and tools available in full-screen...

I doubt it! Speakers on, click here :) Ray

I went into the operating theatre at 13.30hours on Tuesday and was awake again at 15.30. with a total replacement right hip. I had quite a raging thirst and managed to drink two water jugs dry, together with three cups of tea over the next few hours, at which point I vaguely recalled being told...

It appears that I need both my hip joints replacing. I'm guessing that they'll want to do one at a time, although I've heard that it's possible to get the whole job done in one go, if there is adequate home support. My X-Rays and assessment are booked for September 8th., so I've got a little...

Enjoy! :) Ray

Anyone trying Windows 7 RC yet? I'm downloading it as I type, but if you've had any horrendous experiences with it, please share them with me! :) Ray

It looks like I may have found a source for these brushes. I've bought a pair of what I think are the correct ones to try in my router. If they work OK, I can then buy in a few more pairs for anyone who needs some. If I am successful, it would help to know how many would be interested in a spare...

I've only just discovered this application ( http://www.spotify.com/en/ ) and I can't imagine how I missed it before. It's a free streaming music player and the range and quality of the tracks are excellent. There's an advert every 20 minutes or so on the free version, but that's no big deal...

Has anyone else tried www.searchme.com - it's a "visual" search engine, along Apple's Safari v4 lines. I quite like it, albeit after only a short acquaintance. :) Ray.

Can you think of a nine-letter, common English word that remains a proper word each time you remove a letter from it? Ray

You may not be aware that Apple's Safari Browser is now into v4 and it's a heck of a lot faster now, even for PCs. You can get it at http://www.apple.com/safari/ :) Ray

After being married for 40 years, I took a careful look at my wife one day and said, "40 years ago we had a cheap flat, a cheap car, slept on a sofa bed and watched a tiny black and white TV, but I got to sleep every night with a very hot 20-year-old." "Now I have a £400,000 home, a £35,000...

Have a look here :shock: Ray

Have a look at this for a near miss! :) Ray

Try this time-waster. :) Ray.

I don't know if you've seen these before, apologies if you have, but I think they're much more like art than an unmade bed, a pile of bricks or half a cow! :) I love the feet, made from the handsets. There must have been quite a few metres of telephone handset cable in these creations! :)...
