I was lucky enough to meet Prunella Scales around 20 years ago. She gave an acting masterclass to our local pro theatre company, Creation Theatre, that for some reason we got invited to. She was very nice, and was really tiny.

Timothy West - also a great actor of stage and screen - predeceased his wife Prunella aged 90 in late 2024. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timothy_West

RIP Prunella Scales, who played Sybil Fawlty in Fawlty Towers. Aged 92 after a long decline from Alzheimers. 93 apparently. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cjd0yn5gyndo

That is the weirdest room. And what is with the ceiling speakers?

The Anne Boleyn rubber duck is available from the RSC (Royal Shakespeare Company) shop in Stratford on Avon. https://shop.rsc.org.uk/products/anne-boleyn-rubber-duck , Now £7.50 Of course if true to life, its head should fall off.

D'Agostino Relentless. The mono power amps are $£Euro (all about the same these days) half a million for the pair. Each unit weighs a quarter ton - so half a ton for the pair. I have absolutely no idea how they are removed from the pallets. Or what safety requirements are for floor loading.

I was 26 then. And I was an early adopter, with the Philips CD104 in 1984. And then I began to wonder what was going on. CD's at that stage, and players too, sounded like a bag of hammers by comparison to vinyl records. Thank heavens the technology has moved on, although digital, while sounding really accurate is somehow less engaging than scraping a fragment of diamond over a piece of plastic. Maybe I just like listening to the inherent raft of distortions from record reproduction😁

And this is actually Mr Jecklin back in the day And later in life

Yup. Totally agree JoaMat. I've placed orders with Mouser for decades with zero problems. If Mouser keep an eye on forums, or as a lurking member, Micron21 could end up in hot water. I used to be list admin for a Jaguar forum with 10,000 international members. And occasionally a list member would openly criticize a supplier. But all the major Jaguar parts and service outlets lurked as members on the list. So threats of legal action for defamation were regular, including to the list owner (me). I quit as admin because the stress of being potential sued was too much.

Have a great one Todd - happy birthday!
