Title: Old name, new request
Post by: guest7 on June 17, 2009, 08:00:06 PM
Some of you may remember Club Member Chris Lee. He rang me tonight to ask if he could re-join the club and also could I ask around to see if anyone had a spare SRX(twinshock) tank that they could sell him as his has split.

He also wondered if any other tanks would fit.

Over to you guys  ;)

Put all your eggs in one basket - it is called consistency of purpose.

If it aint broke, break it - it is how good things are made better

Dont do something, just stand there - it is the only way we find out what is happening.

Practice makes permenant - make sure you are doing the right thing before myelinating the bugger

If at first you dont succede - STOP! and ask am I doing this right.

If a job is worth doing it is worth doing badly, if it is not worth doing it is not worth doing well.  You can always do it better as you learn.

Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will mentally scar me and take some serious rework to get over.

Ummm dont recognise that one...

Dont put all yur petrol in one tank - nope.

A petrol tank in the hand is worth two in the bush?  - Nope

Beats me.

I was going to twist "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush" about a bit and then realised that this is a family forum...  ::)

Cannot remember the original posting that got sidelined into GCs steam driven PC.  I said I would have a word with the company in PT who salvage and re-work PCs.

Pentium 4 – 2.2Ghz to 3 Ghz Single Core
40 – 60 Gb Hard Drive and 512Mb Ram

Currently they are 3.2GHz and circa 120MB drives btw, it all depends on what he has coming through.

Loaded with a legit copy of Windows sommat and Office 2004

TFS screen - not sure if that is a flat fronted CRT or a LCD, I know there are both around.

3 months warrenty

£100 - unless you are on a state pension or other benefit than it is £75 as MS have to be paid less for the software.

The boxes are all cleaned and look good.

He also has lots of other stuff just depends what is coming through.

Yesterday whilst I was there he looked very empty as most all of the re-worked kit was being loaded into a shipping container, having been bought by the Afghan government.

You can lead a horse to water - but you can't make it scuba dive
