The Woodrat came out of hibernation for the MGF....he was pleased to put faces to the names meeting Wayne, Hank, Stu, Jeremy, Allen and David Aumann. A weekend amongst guitars and good company.... Woodrat was last seen leaving Melbourne carrying a piece of antique furniture through airport security....

Thanks chaps. Big help. Mind the way NZ are batting just now, I don't think they need much help. They turned the Headingly test into a 20/20! Beating the Poms doesn't matter...beating the Aussies does. 1981underarmbowling.jpg Australian translation of Martin's quote..."beating the Kiwis doesn't mat...

Quoting French: "Based on section modulus, the rectangle is the stiffest shape per unit weight." Not entirely true, unless this statement had further qualification. It's dependent on aspect ratio, too. Check out Fig. 4.4-21 in CAGDB. (AKA "The Book"). CAGDB....Trevor I thought that you were talking...

Jim...Perhaps more like putting a Morris Minor in your 351!....

The last Nigerian scammer who contacted me ended up getting the string along from me for two weeks. I think he finally twigged that he was getting shafted when he rang the phone number I'd given him as my own and he found himself talking to the Australian Federal Police in Canberra :shock: Yes Mart...

Here is a live version with RJD of course (albeit a little older) heading up the orchestra at ...

Well it's not everyday you get a stranger holding a panel saw knocking on your front door.... That's for sure, I had to move my last panel saw with a forklift and a crane truck. Congratulations Woodrat and my hat is off to anyone who wears just a T shirt in Old Blighty. Jim Thanks Jim....actually t...
