  1. Parcelled up bass to send to Belgium via DPD, attached customs documents in clear plastic sleeve. Bass rejected and returned to me a few days later, no explanation and no indication the >£100 paid (fully insured for a £2k bass) will even be partially refunded. Brexit, yay

  2. Apparently the fish are happy with Brexit, it means they can now have blue passports, and of course the added bonus - nobody’s catching them.

  8. Here's a tip from your Uncle Rich. When you're beta-testing a design package and you think the auto-save is set, make sure it is. That way, you won't lose the last 5 hours' hard graft when it crashes. >:(>:(

      Precisely.  They have not thought their intention through.

      There's no point in trying to police individual people's behaviour.  All I can do is publicise the effect it has on my own.

      Prompted by basspirate's Ken Smith sale thread, IIRC.  Nobody else needs to do this.  Why should BC be treated like eBay, anyway?

  14. Moping at home after eye surgery last Saturday. Right retina tore & detached, so a surgeon sucked out all the goo, spot-welded the tears with a laser, then pumped up my eye with hexafluoroethane, a greenhouse gas. So that’s me on one eye for the next few weeks at least. I’ve even got the eyepatch. (Arrrr.)
