Hi Chris
Great you're back on this amazing build. Wonderful work from you and Jen.
Jim

The TBC is going strong. It is still the 5* club for all those who strive for organised perfection. Unfortunately there was a committee meeting where alcohol was served and Madam Fifi and her dancing girls were invited. There have been suggestions that it was, in reality, a party and Covid rules were disregarded. A ridiculous assertion. Our lawyers, Messrs Conem and Skrewem, will put all their energies into refuting this scurrilous accusation.
Yours
Archibald MacPorkies (club sec)
An utter disgrace Mr Archibald , I do hope the powers to be take action in this matter.

We here at the Untidy Bench Club have never taken to drink (mainly because the bench is so cluttered that we have no room)
 
Sorry about the intrusion into your thread, but please promise Chris you will never fall into the grips of the TBC.:flushed:

Hi Chris
So good to see you back on this. The work you're doing just becomes more and more incredible. You are very knowledgeable. I'm sure you'll sort the power supply issue.
