![And now for something completely different Empty](https://2img.net/i/empty.gif) | Subject: Re: And now for something completely different Fri Jul 25, 2014 11:36 am | |
| Thanks Frank. Been having computer problems mate, that's why I was awal for a few weeks. These darn things drive you potty trying to figure out what is wrong with them, and if you get an 'expert' to fix them they will charge you an arm and a leg, so with the bit of knowledge I have about these contraptions, I set about fixing the thing myself, a bit of trial and error, but I got there in the end. Mrs Shifter wasn't too pleased with all the bits and pieces cluttering up the fold away table, I had little screws in containers, the screen, keyboard, hard drive, motherboard, and all sorts of other bits and bobs on the fold up table, the look on her face was a picture, ha ha. It was like putting together a large airfix kit when I put the thing back together again, but I did it, and it works fine now. The bead work on those two figures must have taken ages to do, they are a credit to the zulu people. Cheers mate. |
