I’m actually glad refry is back, we agreed on almost nothing and yet the barbs never got heated or uncivil, unlike some (genuinely forget who his main antogonists were)

Yup, he never lost his cool. Most impressive.

[Line6 HXFX]

Refry’s back!!!

Probably as flakey as his front

Hah, very good.

Sorry... piss off eyeballs.

Genuinely don’t know how somebody as eminently likeable as you couldn’t stay in work, when some of those who could start an argument in an empty room and never get to shag nurses, have jobs.

This is how it starts, I explain why, then I get 50 right wing idiots stalking me and calling me a liar, because I explained myself, and that would require they not have self serving contempt for the unemployed for four minutes.. then (after six years) of shite, I get fed up, present evidence that I am not lying, even have people attest that I am not lying, and I get smeared and lied about more and more and more, because no fucking way is anyone going to apologise... and then I get banned.
Then the Tories get in and roll out policies that are designed to kill me.
It is all very lovely.

Sure Jack Munroe owns Katie Hopkins house for far less.
Anyway I am a carer now. Haven't been unemployed for some time.

FFS Yeeb, don't make him bring up that saga again. We nearly broke the poor guy last time.

I like to think I was tempering him and making him harder and tougher than any bit of steel he made in the six and a half weeks he did actually work before Thatcher got her dibs in.
I ground his gears plenty for the not working thing, but just couldn’t fathom why he was thought to be a liar, and if he is then so what , I got fooled by a random on the internet - big wows.

Genuinely didn’t know he got banned, or where he thinks these 50 right wingers were to be found on Planet Woke-by

Fwiw I’m glad he’s working now and a carer

Four and a half years.
Whilst you was in short trousers studying how to be a fantastic yeeb, making your eyes bulge and weakening your wrists, by putting them in hot water overnight... I was already a steel making god my friend, up on pre treatment balancing over huge tanks of acid, on hot pipes thinking fucking'ell, 16, how great am I? Definately better than that yeeb bloke.

[Yeeb]

Did you overbalance and faceplant into those tanks ?

I actually know a few ypung steelworkers who's hands and arms look like that, having tried to clean a bed of rollers for 0.8 mm thick steel, whilst it is still in use. They get a rag, take the gaurd off,,thinking they can easily wipe a bit of shite away (that is denting the steel as it is passing through the bed of rollers) and the rag goes in and then their hands and arm. The screams are quite horrific.

Sorry I try to forget about my times in british steel.

So, Refry, you seem the real deal. I only really caught your last year or so on PR, and this wasn’t my username then. Just wanted to say I’m glad you are here.

Seeing the brick roof of a soaking pit collapse when a bloke was on it.. 48 hours to cool to find his fillings..
Watching a cobble in the rolling mill taking out 3 blokes..
Yup, worked in a steel works also..


Opened a new thread to leave this one to new purchases..

Very glad that's worked out for you.

Just got one of these, loved my very long serving old amp but needed digital inputs as a two-in, one out external cheap DAC wasn't enough for modern needs.

[Raggs]

Just had an offer accepted on a pair of these. One will go into my machine, replacing the rx580 that's in there, and the other will hopefully sell for more than half of what I just paid. Sell the rx 580 as well.

It's a big old upgrade for my 1440p monitor, even if it's 2nd, and maybe soon 3rd gen tech. And if I can get a decent price for both cards I'm selling, (optimistic prices), I may not have even had to pay for it...

Agreed, enjoy it TB

[Saint]

Is proving to be extremely good - and I;m genuinely amazed at how much crap is coming out of what we had thought was a fairly clean rug

[ASMO]

I just ditched my Dyson for one of those Shark cordless ones, a much better product in my view and a lot cheaper as well.

[BnM]

Chewy banana chips for dog, dried tomatoes, kale crisps and celery offcuts so far.

Were you at the Ebbw Vale plant?

Completely upgrading the Hi Fi .

Harbeth 30.2 speakers

Hegel 590 amp

Working out Streamer

[tabascoboy]

While I could afford that sort of set up ( + CD player ) no way could I justify that sort of outlay. The listening room acoustics would probably need sorting out too!

[RichieRich89]

Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30 for PS2. Looks pretty good so far.

Auralic Aries G2.1 streamer !!!!

A small inheritance left by me mum - the rest to look after my autistic spectrum brother .

Ambitions to upgrade my Rega rp 8 to the 10 with the far better phonostage but geez not cheap !!

Tafarnaubach, Tredegar.
I was a quality controller and worked in the labs and a cut up line for about 4.5 years.

The whole plant shut about 5 years ago.

I have bought a Parachute Regt. Firepit.

[The Druid]

If Carlsburg made automowers.

[Insane_Homer]

to go with

[Line6 HXFX]

Seems a rather specific Airbus joystick.

Won't be good for much else. No good for helicopters, spaceships, warbirds, combat sims.

Just good for rotating and landing an Airbus.

Rotate, gear up, flaps up, autopilot on...and put joystick back in box.

The throttle quadrant they are about to release looks kinda interesting though.

Just bought another Amazon Echo Studio Speaker.

They were on offer, so thought I would jump in.

I always wanted two, making my home theatre experience doubly awesome.

Not sure I need the Amazon subwoofer, as I heard when you get the three it is serious bass overkill.
