  1. I can offer this https://nimbus.se/ Swedish boat builder since 1968 apparently. Identical but colours reversed (Or maybe your pic is upside down ?!). Might be worth asking them if the colours were ever the other way around, might be worth something to them !
  2. https://www.powerinverters.com/pages/do-i-need-a-modified-sine-wave-inverter-or-a-pure-sine-wave-inverter I don't think I would risk a laptop, is it under warranty ? If so I would check with laptop maker.
  3. Not surprised you were not thinking hair styling, for some reason your pic reminded me of a Bargain Hunt episode some weeks ago wherein the curler was illustrated, after that it was easy. The BBC has it's uses sometimes. A long gone era that can still fascinate.
  4. I didn't know naval joiners were fussy about their hair ! These are probably Victorian/Edwardian Exhibit One, to the left Your one is missing a rather important part methinks. Exhibit Two, in the centre OK, so you have the economy version Exhibit Three, to the right Might be items acquired somewhere, as we all do, or may be Ma or Grandma ?
  5. A laughing emoji just doesn't seem enough for all that effort.
  6. Probably originally late 40s into 50s, maybe produced to accompany one of his books (??) Matches design, and paper, of an unpursued project of my youth, recently disposed of. Plans, and books, are indeed still available, if rare it seems the pricing is designed to ensure they remain so ! Modellers Central have a number of plans, for books see the likes of Amazon and Waterstones. See below. The front cover pix are of a Jan 98 reprint (Amazon) note the foreground of vol 2.
  7. Yeah right, catch covid and take it home to your parents, and round to your grandparents, but that's alright, you're OK.
  8. Might just be my imagination but is there not a massive "Elephant In The Room" here ? I might be missing something but I have seen nothing even hinting at New Years Eve celebrations. Does not the Christmas easing of restrictions end some 3/4 days before ? If Christmas results in nationwide spikes what will New Year do ? Somehow I don't see your usual party animals passing up the chance to kick 2020 into touch, not that 2021 will be any different to start with at least, it's a huge time for pubs and clubs. Surely the "Powers That Be" have it under consideration, or are we in for more last minute patching ? Whatever, here at MB Towers we shall continue to keep our heads down until vaccination, and beyond, courtesy of Tesco's priority deliveries (Charge now £5.50, was £2.00). No choice really with my copd and Daffy Dear's asthma. Psychicsurveyor's post on pleasing all the people (Not) is so so right, I can't say we should please ourselves because that is clearly a major part of the problem. Which is why Gracie says it so much better - Take care and stay safe.
  9. I have, for sometime, seen members comment on fewer, or almost no, birds and fish. Sometimes you just don't know what's out there. Not For Those Of A Nervous Disposition.mp4
  10. Good luck then, hopefully victim support will keep everybody up to the mark.
  11. JM https://www.victimsupport.org.uk/crime-info/types-crime/antisocial-behaviour You can contact them directly, you don't have to go through the police. Check out this site. I also found that appealing to my MP did wonders in chasing our local authority into action. You do usually have to help the local authority gain necessary information. This can appear time-consuming and you are the only one who knows if it's worth the trouble. I can appreciate the frustration you are probably feeling, we had 12 years of it some time ago now, including the police turning up eight hours after a 999 call, not to investigate the incident but to try and tell me I shouldn't have rung 999 !!
  12. Glad to hear it's going well, now on to stage 2. Crazy Polar Bear.mp4
