It clears railway carriages quickly, back to London and I got the disable seat that IPOD eyed moron sit in and ignore you on sticks. I must get some Pyridine nice smelly stuff clears whole of H-ifi Shows in seconds.
Another great Scot's discovery
"Pyridine was discovered in 1849 by the Scottish chemist Thomas Anderson as one of the constituents of bone oil. Two years later, Anderson isolated pure pyridine through fractional distillation of the oil. It is a colorless, highly flammable, weakly alkaline, water-soluble liquid with a distinctive, unpleasant fish-like odor."

It is amazing how now Geoff Merrigan is now published as the designer of Tellurium Q cables and of the Iridium Amplifier, god does he want the world or what? For a man that did not truly understand a thing I did he as gone to be a Guru in this as well as health products.
Well done Geoff.or should I say sieg heils.

Just wish he buy my shares of and then I would be silent about TQ as I was before.
No money or income to speak of the little I have made from the PCB, SECA Kits has gone on to help pay for my keep. The divorce and the settlement there is strange as my ex wants everything including all the shares of TQ which she would sell to the others for peanuts and not the true value so all my work would mean nothing to any of them.
Still up and down to the hospital every tuesday at the moment much fun, but a nice coffee shop with caring staff thank Wotan.
Back to have operation in late August which should be interesting, and another if I survive the first one in September. Maybe they are waiting for me to die, but that is Devils for you.
Still plodding on nearly completed the NEW Wonfor/Inca Tech Claymore Design without remote and the other junk the marketing Guru wanted at TQ, It about sound not flashing lights wally. It will be a lot cheaper I hope too. We will see.
Good on you Colin, I hope everything goes well
I love Hendrix for so many reasons. He was so much more than just a blues guitarist - he played damn well any kind of guitar he wanted. In fact I'm not sure if he even played the guitar - he played music. - Stevie Ray Vaughan

Thank you, that is kind. Best Col
All the best for your August and September medical procedures Colin.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
