Title: I appear to be back ?
Post by: Techno II on 01 October 2020, 05:07:11 PM
Who pressed a button he shouldn't have then ?......CLANG !!!!! =)
Twerp !

Let's see if this works. X_X

Starting again from scratch.....At least I'll get my next promotion a good way before Will.  ;D ;D ;D

Hello..My name is Phil....And I make toy soldiers for your edification....You Oiks....

Good grief....How am I going to EVER catch up with all the stuff I haven't replied to.

Trouble is I've got change my password, so Leon doesn't what it is......AND sort out my personal details, AND make a new avatar......It'll be the same.....Just a different colour....(Maybe.)

Back soon.  ;)

Cheers - The Welsh Git

How can we be sure? Should we demand proof?

... e.g., severed ear .... or foot, etc.?

Hello Techno ll , or should we call you T2?, or possibly T double lower case L

You will find the forum a friendly pace with much erudite wisdom, banter and down right silliness.

You say you make toy soldiers , HMMM we used to have a bloke here that claimed to do that.  The toxins in the putty got to him and he went a bit  ~X( ~X(, and disappeared. :)

Make sure that doesn't happen to you.

Anyway I must go now, I have to get a box of plasters posted by Amazon to a friend.  :D

Post by: Techno II on 02 October 2020, 07:29:55 AM
Thanks, Gents ! :)

It's really good to be back.....Reinvigorated, but still as barking as before.

Davy....the only proof I can offer, is that I dropped the heavy(ish) metal plate that covers the water meter on the ball of my left hand, causing a nice sized blood blister, a couple of days ago...(I cut that open with a 10A. :D).....Sound like anyone you know ? (That DID smart !)

Mark.....That would be great..... ;) Though I don't think I've quite finished the old lot yet.  :-\

Nobby.....Techno the White ?.....Probably not.....But I have at last managed to get my hair cut...So there has been change. ;) I like to think that I don't look quite so much like the wild man of Borneo anymore.....But still particularly scruffy. X_X

Spent the last few days trying to remember how I used to wire up the 'nice' stereo, so I could use the graphic equalizer. Think I've almost got there. Only thing that doesn't want to play is the cassette deck for some reason. (I'm probably missing something particularly obvious.)

I can only wind it up to 'one and a half', otherwise the house starts shaking. ;D

Our nice plumber friend has fixed the leak in the loo in the big barn. No wonder I couldn't stop/slow the leak by slapping loads of putty around the 'L joint'.....it wasn't that that was leaking. =)

Cheers - Phil

Great to have one of the forum luminaries back!

Hope you had a good break, this place was quiet without you - mostly because the Oiks couldn't decide who they were going to pick on - balance has been restored.

Ah yes, I should have used the "red eye" filter. That's the trouble with flash photography.

As to the facial structure - camera adds 10lbs and all that, y'know!

Mind you, as you say, a few bandages round them and they'd look perfectly normal.

Anyone suggest a good red paint, or will I have to mix my own to get a decent substitute for the blood ?

Phil found this recipe for fake blood for you :-

2/3 cup Corn Syrup
1/3 cup Water
5 Tablespoons Corn Starch
3 to 5 Teaspoons Red Food Coloring
2 or 3 Drops Green Food Coloring
1 Drop Peppermint extract, if desired.

So your artifical fingers can look right  #:-S

I didn't realize they had Tate and Lyall  Golden syrup in ancient Mesopotamia.  Although the quite on the tin is attributed to about 1000 BC. so I suppose it might have been  :)
