    I am going to have a radical clear out of stuff that I am never likely to use in my current system, but have the "will I find I need it when it is gone"? man sitting on my shoulder taking the piss. I have some nice speakers but they would need to be collected as I don't have any boxes and some are a hernia weight. I have 3 Sony PS1s that I got following the "these are a great CD player if you do all the mods" threads on Diyaudio and other sites sitting doing nothing and many amplifiers that sound great but don't have the required credentials to see an easy sale. My advice is "Don't Get Old"
    ​Buy Bose...And get your parking validated!.

    Yes, well done Mike. Is it for health reasons?

    Thank you fellas, yes for health reasons, both physical and mental. I actually drank last night, but went one month without it, which for me is incredible. I now plan to go another month without it.

    Got another sharpening stone in. An ex fine this time which is extremely smooth and will really bring up the final edge nicely. Not cheap these but they work very well for so little effort.

    looks like a spear gun on the right hand side.

    I'm guessing it's not.
