@Owen I thought that was just me. I have a Mod_dwarf which could probably take me to the moon and back, but it's complicated. So I go back to simple things and keep thinking I must get back to the Mod Dwarf and set it up properly. I don't.

And to everybody else....

Sony They supplied software that spied on me through their CDrom. Never brought another Sony product again. As I also used to buy large numbers of pcs, think 1000's a year, made sure Sony never supplied a single one.

I'm sure that the buyer was genuine and was alternating between working in the Shetland Isles as a lobster fisherman and a highly paid city lawyer. He probably accidentally left his ultra expensive Martin guitar as he had other legal things on his mind. These things happen, and for some reason, often on Gumtree. Perfectly innocent and believable explanation IMHO. Rob

Good ideas. Will do so.

We have the village hall the whole day Saturday which effectively means from 1900 or so Friday to 0800 Sunday. I was going to suggest 0900 to 1700 for Satu but it's whatever we want. We have the kitchen as well so I might be persuaded to do bacon sarnies or similar to get the things going.

I’ll add you in then

You move in better company than me....

Then I am following in the footsteps of giants. How much time do you think I would get with £500 for a 59 Les Paul owned by Bonamassa? I'm happy to let him have it for a few weeks a year as he does have a few gigs arranged.

You can buy two or more shares...

I've signed you up...

So if 45 of us each do £500, we're there. That means we each get it for 194 hours per year. That's over a week, a whole week. I'm happy to act as the distribution hub so people can collect and drop off. No charge for this service. So we only need another 43 of us....

We could each put in a sum of money to buy itand time-share the guitar between us. With my £7.99, I get it for approx 45 seconds on April 16th. Mmmm...actually thats an interesting idea. Not sure I can afford £22.5K. but I could do a chunk of it. rob

Mmmmm..... Not sure what the last price was, but I'd want to pick it up in person and check it very carefully if I'd made an offer on it.
