Congratulations to Lawrence! 

I still have the CCS single

Ha ha @port perran ! Funnily enough I had the CCS version of "Whole Lotta Love" as a single before I heard the original and it took me a while to get into Led Zeppelin's version, CCS's version was of course used as the theme to "Top of the Pops".

Didn't they do a cover of a song by C.C.S. on Led Zep II ?      

This doesn't really fit into any Classified sections but rather than EBay, I'd like to give you good chaps a chance to offer to buy this high spec laptop to store your train spreadsheets on, train photos, or anything else train related. Or you could give it to a son or daughter to take to University. The options are endless.

When I was working for myself I would back up my work to various other terrestrial-based hard drives and what were essentially "servers".

This Dell is a 14" Inspiron, high spec machine with Intel Core Evo processor, Intel 128MB graphics card, 32GB RAM, 1TB solid state hard drive and Windows 11 Home. It was one of my "back up servers". It developed a screen flicker and as it was under warranty it went back to Dell to be fixed. It returned good as new. In fact it came back as essentially a new machine. New motherboard. New screen. New Windows installation. No data! In fact, no evidence of this being my laptop at all.

I have four other backups of my business projects, so rather than repopulate this laptop from the start, I have decided to sell it.

Happy to send you more photos if required, but there really are hardly any signs of physical use at all on this machine.

It was >£1500 including VAT when new. I'd like £550 and it will be posted with Full insurance (that's the going rate on EBay for similar specified machines in this condition)

Last couple of offerings are right up my alley.

Appetite for Destruction is one of the best freshmen albums ever.

I often think about Lawrence, loved his posts.
In particular as I walked past my raspberry patch yesterday I was reminded of the pruning tip he posted a few years ago, and one I follow diligently to this day, and it has resulted in us having a wonderful crop of raspberries every year since.
Please pass on my best wishes on becoming a grandfather.

Oh yeah, just the arm right. 'Cos you only need the arm right?

I've 'eard about your sort.

Back from holidays, and pleased to say that the trains thrown over a six foot gate by Parcel Force were saved by our neighbour (a Parcel Force employee) and his ladder, before the heavens opened last week, and they have survived their journey through outer space.

Now it's TV thriller season. Which one to watch first?

Is it catch up on 2 episodes of Vigil tonight, and then episode 3 live tomorrow, or do we do the same with Trigger Point?

(we always watch with subtitles enabled)
