Web Updates
Hello all,
I thoght I`d try and test this website to see if it would update ... nothing has appeared on here for 4 days, so .. being the adventurous type I thought I` d put pen to paper. Guess what? .. It doesn`t work. (The pen to paper bit, that is).
 
All I got was a lot of vertical streaks down the monitor, I did try felt tip, but that made even more mess trying to edit it. I thought Biro would be a more stable medium too, but "tram lines" was all I had left after using my rubber .. (eraser, not the birth control type)
 
Having bought another screen, I realise the futility of this exercise. So, it`s back to the "0"`s and "1"`s for me. Lets see if this effort makes it to the front page. Agh! .. nearly forgot ... update on garden project ... the boys (63 and 38 years respectively) are here today digging in the posts for the new fence. Gotta go now, I`m the tea-boy today .. ta ta ...

I thought I had better confirm that your last "posting" is "viewable" Bill, I must admit that I thought everyone had gone on holiday for the week and left me to it.

Sorry guys, been a bit busy of late to sit down and compose anything more than about three word rejoinderes on Facebook, I've been engrossed in a project for work, putting together a 'roadshow' with the purpose of explaining and demystifying the Traffic  Management Act and Parking regulations to the public. It's also an opportunity to raise our profile with the public, and at the same time get me a few days off from pounding the streets. On top of that I've got to fit the slipway job into the schedule, involves a bit of juggling with time but worthwhile, spent a couple of hours this evening chatting to a local businessman who is the owner of a restored Torridge schooner, the last one in existance, an ocean going 3 mast'er, trying to wangle a trip on board, making progress but will be towards the end of summer if at all.
Rock 'n Roll week next week, Thursday off to see Crowded House in Plymouth, and Friday Wilko Johnson, ex Dr.Feelgood in Torrington, then the Llama festival in Lynmouth, (Lynton and Lynmouth Arts and Music festival), gonna be rocked out by the end of the weekend.

Hi all.
Just spent the last half hour or so catching up with all the happenings in my absence.
Looks like you are in for a busy week end Stu, or at least your ear drums are!
Hope you and Shirl have a lot of fun.
I was intrigued to hear about the three masted schooner and hope you manage to get a trip, what a bit of luck.
If you get the opportunity a couple of photos of the vessel would be very much appreciated.
I like your style Bill, decide to erect a fence and then get the heavy gang in to dig the holes whilst you make the tea.
Wish I'd been there to lend a hand, lets face it it's the only kind of erection I'm likely to achieve at my age! Ha Ha.
You were perfectly correct Ken I was gobsmacked by the article about the car restoration you posted. I've taken the liberty of transposing it on to our club newsletter with all the appropriate credits of course, I hope you don't mind. Sorry about the delay but you were perfectly correct I have just returned from Stoke on Trent. Burnley is next week! In the mean time the management has informed me that we should get the caravan out this week end for a day or two, so it looks as though there won't be much time over the holiday either.
By the way, cracking photos of Weymouth House Graham, interesting to see how it was before it became the home of our school.
Got to go now.
Have fun.
Sticky.

Apologies for non attendance of late. We've had our front hedges pulled out and walls built. So in between working 12hour days I've had clearing up and and general lawn repairs to do. We're off to Corfu nexy Monday so there's stuff to do before that !! I was going to wish you all a good Bank Holiday but I see that the weather is "threatening"
 
Enjoy whatever you do !!

Trimming the privet? Is that like "tipping the velvet"?
 
Cheers

Hi Sticky et al, Back for another serve.  Glad you liked the car restoration article.  I don't think anyone will mind you using it for a club article for like minded car folk.  Spent a day in Sydney on the weekend helping my mate bring back his half of his deceased parents estate including 10 removalist boxes full of Corgi Toy Cars still in there individual boxes, plus 54 Jim Beam collectables like trains and a Mustang car etc with the Jim Beam still intact amongst a million other things.  He now has a double garage full of this stuff and he's a bit of a horder himself. Ken

Hi Ken.
Your mate sounds like a man after me own heart. I like the sound of his collectables.
The lads cleared out the garage the other day, it was a dream to be able to move about in there.
It didn't last long though, it's almost full again!
Mind you, there is a tractor in there now, my old 1953 Allis Chalmers B.
Son Alex has gone over to the dark side and recently acquired a 'Modern' tractor 100HP 4WD Massey Freguson with all the bells and whistles, you don't drive it you play it!!!!!!!
Still prefer the International 574 myself.
Sorry getting carried away again.
Have fun.
Sticky.

How many have we lost in the shake up? .. will peace return to our site soon?.  Do we get compensation for re-learning all that was good and wholesome about Windows Live?.

Please sign below, this petition will help restore our site .. ha ha !! as if!! .. guess we`ll all have to push the brain cell / cells (delete as appropriate) further than ever .. farewell all those without "techie skills" .. you may find us again one day .. keep searching (and signing in all the time), we`ll still be here .. Vive la Bath Tech .. glub, glub, glub .. aaahhhhhh!!!!!

Dear Microsoft,
Please provide me with a "roll back" facility for my Group. We are lost in the wilderness of binary.

Just noticed something else they have changed , your own skydrive (not the groups, that is is still accessed from the left hand menu) is no longer accessed from the "more" button above but you now need to hover on the Windows live icon, top left,  and the dropdown menu appears.

I don't like it when they change things I get all confused, must be an age thing.
 
Just about getting over last weekend, hearings coming back, must say Wilko Johnson played a blinder, it was like a couple of grandads had escaped from the old folks home intent on having just one more blast.
Llama festival this weekend so hoping for fine weather, it's a nice laid back weekend, not too many people, and more to the point, free. After all how many people can you squeeze into the park at Lynmouth.
 
I published this first just to see if it printed my pic, it seems that only Bill and I are getting our pics onto the page.
