George - have you been seen by someone who knows what the problem is and, if so, what diagnosis/treatment have they given? It seems to be dragging on, although in the UK you'd probably still be on a gurney in a corridor.

Quote from: scottmitchell74 on February 27, 2026, 02:26:26 PMI made an order from Osborn Models on Feb 4th, 2026.

Haven't heard a word from them since.

I've emailed three times, just wondering about the status of my order. Nothing.

Currently Unhappy, veering towards the Angry Thread soon.
Unfortunately there are numerous threads on this subject on numerous forums. If it is in stock you'll probably get it quickly but if it's not you'll pay your money and end up having to claim it back. Their website has no bearing on what they actually have in stock and communication is non existent.


I'm officially considering this order unfilled. I'll be contacting the CC company to take further action.

I suppose it's partially on me for not checking their reputation beforehand.

@MKP Can you help Scott with his order issue via PM please?

Would you care to expand on that @kusojiji ? Band room/assistant director?

High school band.

I've read about poor battery life on Qashqais but have now experienced it myself. Annual service today at 8740 miles on my 2024 MHEV QQ and I was told the battery was pretty run down and they'd order me a new one under warranty. OK, so it's being done under warranty but that is a shockingly bad life for a battery.

Edit - just had a call from the senior techy at the garage to say the battery is OK just low charge and to take it down the motorway a couple of junctions to put some oomph in it????

First time I heard Morning Dance, I was shopping for a boom box. The guy at the store played it for me. Years later, I'm playing it in the band room and the assistant director told me how Jay Beckenstein always stayed in tune.

Quote from: Moonglum on Yesterday at 09:35:15 AMI had Incognito by Spyro Gyra on vinyl, very good musicians on it inc. Steve Gadd (d), Marcus Millar (b) and Richard Tee (k). I think like with a lot of similar bands they became a bit repetitive - thirty albums later (IMO). Thanks for posting @kusojiji .

I rather like Spyrogyra and remember being rather "blown away" by Morning Dance when it burst onto the scene in the 70s.
I went straight out and bought the album in fact.

Sorry @scottmitchell74 Shane Smith is not for me I'm afraid
