      You have my interest - because I'm currently smashed (my wife won a freebie at Strada in Hitchin, and they were very generous with the plonk). Which book?

        Don't give away the ending
        The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

        But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

          But I was contemplating making a valve TRF wireless as a demonstrator, in a fit of insanity...
          Of course! How silly of me not to guess!

              Zeity, on a slightly related note. I am very sad because I have moved into a building with very poor am reception, and I am unable to listen to the worldservice.

              Is an external am antenna the only solution?

                  Depends on your computer and connection.

                    That's just gotta stay.

                    I couldn't delete the picture of a motherboard with a valve on it.
