you're hoping mate!.....2nd class?....hell, it takes a week round these parts.....
anyway...I wait in eager anticipation

and while we're on the subject of TC work...
Have you had any thoughts about the workload shareout? We had an animated discussion on here a few months ago regarding the possibility of you sheddding some of the tasks, thus making the administration of The TC more enjoyable for all concerned?

Woohoo!  ;D ;D
Mine's arrived, had a quick flick and typed this, then its back to my fetid keyboard and carry on working.  :(  Oh the joys of doing mainframe support and being able to logon at home with all those temptations around you, like the garden, vegetable plot, the bike, PC games, the wife...the list is endless. So what do I do, resist temptation and do some work! Pah.  ::)

Dave500 asked: I haven't got anything yet, should I be getting something?


Steffan, I sent you out a card, I remember seeing your name on the envelope. Perhaps it will be there tomorrow.

Dave500, what is your membership number? I'll chase this up.

I don't know what the rest of you think but I am starting to think that we are all the beneficiaries of identity fraud - like "The talented Mr Ripley" except on the internet - this guy is too organised to be the well meaning but chaotic GC we all knew and loved.

What have you done with onepot? Come on!! Out with it!!!

Ta GC,

No chance to read it, but a quick flick through and it looks fine. May get a chance in the coming week to have a read, but I'm on house clearance duty. :(

Good to see you are now sailing a more stable course.

My regards, Bill.

If your card arrived in a white envelope with no newsletter then that means you are signed up as an internet-only member. The newsletter will be available as a PDF (Acrobat) file from this site in a week or slightly less.

Cheers

Signed up and paid up as Internet Only member - no card, no nothing, what went wrong?

Got mine, read it whilst travelling in USA - great stuff.
Particularly enjoyed Andy's patented heated visor, reminded me why I joined the Thumper Club, full of eccentrics who undertake tasks no sane individual would contemplate.
Andy, I salute you for your ingenuity and the fact that your obvioiusly barking mad!  ;)

I resemble that remark!

Glad you enjoyed it  ;D

My current project is an alternate bar muff set up. Still needs testing but could make the final part of the keeping warm trilogy.

There is also a small matter of removing potentially libelous "pooratrek" logo's before I do the photo's  :-X

I have converted the current newsletter to .pdf format ready for adding to this site, but it is a 5mb file. I need to talk to Steve about it to see if that's too large.
