Lost pagesHi Ken, I think that you will find that the disappearing pages are posts with the names of Intellegence Corps personnel to be added to the main list and when our webmaster updates the list he then deletes the original post.

Thanks Ernie,that sounds about right,the entries were about the I corps member,s but never noticed that it happened before,best regards from Ken.

Come on Ken, you can do better than that, as I recall back in the old days we used to await your latest excuse with baited breath. Own up, the truth is, you've just sobered up and realised spring is over, and it's somewhat later than August. All the best. Dave T.

Ken,
I found that I cured the trouble by replacing the variable condenser. I thought at first it was the coil but then remembered that I had flogged it as scrap copper.

Hi Paul,i tried replacing the variable condenser,but that did,nt change anything,i have since spoken to one of our retired techy,s who suggests that i change the silver paper that i have wrapped around a 3 amp fuse in the two pin plug,so fingures crossed i will keep you all informed as to my progress,best regards from Ken

Would have replied earlier but some clown appeared to have blown the mains supply.
Any ideas?

Hi Paul,my Techy pal said that if the mains power blows then the likely cause is not the silver paper,but a faulty modulator,so back to the drawing board,but i tell you what these ex techy,s are really switched on and appear to be wired up right,best regards from Cinders.

Ken,
You are taking the wee wee I feel. Just looked at my two pin plugs and none of them have any fuses.

Hi Paul,on closer inspection of the two pin plug (with my specs on) what i thought was a fuse is in fact a cremated caterpillar across the wires,i have now removed the said object and hey presto my machine is back to normal operational duties,as for taking the wee wee would i do a thing like that on such a serious subject,best regards from Ken.

Hi Ernie, I did not realise that a man in your position used such bad English. The e-mail I received from yourself was not what I would expect. Sorry Ernie, I know it didn't come from you but I thought you should be aware that someone has 'cribbed' your data files. Keith

Lost PagesThank's for that Keith, yes whilst I was sunning myself on a Greecian beach somebody somehow got into my e-mail address book and sent a fictitious blog to all & sundrey extolling the benefits of cheap electrical equipment and advertising a website to follow up, the fact that the message was sent at 4am in the morning and was bereft of any recogniseable English grammer should have warned readers off, at least I hope so.
After receiving three or four sarcastic replies from Langeleben members I realised what had occured and immediatly did a full virus scan and all seems OK again.
Let's all get rid of the computer and go back to writing polite letters, inkblots and all.
