No Geordie here around?
Quote from: bd139 on December 16, 2019, 12:55:24 amCan you imagine a TEA podcast? That’s be pretty good.Sort of like soldersmoke. But less radio and just as much cranky old stuff (including the participants )It strikes me that the sheer mixture of accents would give it a unique flavour. There's thee and me, two Londoners who sound remarkably like each other (TEA passim), an Essex lad, a bunch of Germans, I suspect Mnem has a New Yexican accent, more New Yorkers, a Jersey Boy, at least one British Northerner, a couple of Italians, and then there's all the antipodeans. The only word that we would all pronounce in the same way would be beer/bier. It'd be like the UN without the simultaneous translation and the mutual seething loathing...

This is the 'downsizing' that you keep speaking about so often, yes?

Two reasons: (1) I'm loath to give Amazon any money if I can avoid it, not until the bastards start acting more like a decent corporate citizen in terms of treating their staff fairly, paying some taxes and little things like that, (2) I'd much rather the money went to propping up the single remaining local bookshop while they are still there to prop up. We used to have 6 bookshops within a short drive, two of them large, now we have one small single storefront bookshop.

I'm wondering as well if Brexit is now affecting the sales of TEA on eBay?

I'm trying to empty the UK of interesting things before that permanent bad hair day buffoon in No. 10 drags you down in the abyss. So, it makes things a bit more hectic, because I don't want to pay the silly customs fees just because a bunch of robber barons and racists had their way probably with a bit of help from Russia.

Today's thrift store acquisition: 7.5m of plenum-rated 10base2 and a couple tees with 50Ω terminators. Not exactly exciting, but the cable is INMAC Clear Signal™ 20ga RG58/U, which means the assembly has been sweep-tested to 350MHz at some point in its life. At the princely sum of 4 Canadian rupees, still worth glomming for the bench.
