I had an eMail from Google to say that Google + is closing on 2nd April 2019 because its hard to maintain and no one uses it! – Well we all can’t be Facebook can we?
Because of this, I have scoured my old Blogger posts and saved some here as well as backing up all my google + data (What use that will be I have no idea)
Over the course of the last 10 years I have only had 3,746 views in total! – Not worth the effort? Well, that is why I have not updated that blog in 6 years!!!!
Here are some of the highlights!

Found this underneath a load of books in the office!
Taken I think in 1980-1981 at Duke Street Primary School in Denton.
Soooo many faces I have not seen for many years!
That is me circled in red! Haw haw!
I think Mr Hinds who was the head teacher (At the back in the brown suit) passed away a few years back. 🙁 he would have been in his 90s I bet?
We are all nearly 50 now – Some closer than others!

Dum dum dum, dum de dum, dum de dum!

Here is my newest acquisition in all its glory! A genuine 1981 All Terrain Armoured Transport.
The only thing it is missing is the chin lasers. 🙁
I have not tried the lights or sounds yet, so once I have some large batteries I will be firing her up! 🙂
Update: This is fully functional with replacement chin laser cannons and is now complete with original 1980s pilot and commander figures.

So my 2 Philips SPC880NC’s turned up at weekend; Bog standard CCD web cam. Unfortunately these do not work under Windows 7! 🙁
Fear not. There is a way to hack them to into SPC900NC’s which are recognised by Windows 7.
So … Both have been patched as per this web site; and are both seen in Windows 7.
One is to be modified for connection to my microscope, the other is to be a spare in case my proper astro scope bites the bullet.
For £12.80 + vat for the pair, I don’t think its a bad investment?
