St.Jude Posted September 28, 2021 Posted September 28, 2021 Bump, so that @brownnova can start his laptop now to avoid issues at 8pm. brownnova, Six-cylinder, reb and 1 other 4
reb Posted September 28, 2021 Posted September 28, 2021 I might have something of mild interest to @LightBulbFunto show off if my second scrapyard trip goes well! LightBulbFun 1

I suspect it's more a case of what size microwave oven / wardrobe / chemikhasi ended up embedded in the back of their heads. Motorcaravans really are just a chassis cab and some papier-mache. To travel in the back of one, it really needs to be a steel-bodied van conversion rather than an aluminium/timber/ply "coachbuilt" one. I'd hate to see what would happen if someone side-swiped or t-boned one.. the entire body would just disintegrate: "Charlie's copped a saucepan in the throat." Fumbler and BlankFrank 1 1

Fumbler Posted October 5, 2021 Posted October 5, 2021 I'm learning calculus so I don't think I'll be awake enough to be on this time. Six-cylinder 1
brownnova Posted October 5, 2021 Posted October 5, 2021 I’ll have to start and hand straight over. I have a set of books which need marking for tomorrow…
St.Jude Posted October 12, 2021 Posted October 12, 2021 Reminder for tonight, and a reminder for @Six-cylinder to take the merry piss out of me and my LandCruiser again! chaseracer, Crackers and Six-cylinder 1 2
Fumbler Posted October 12, 2021 Posted October 12, 2021 I'm doing this stuff today So I'll probably be fast asleep like last time.
Talbot Posted October 12, 2021 Posted October 12, 2021 Urgh. I remember that all too well. *shudders*

When I was at collage my scientific calculator had 52 functions, I understood 48 of them. Now I remember four, + - × /! LightBulbFun 1

Now I remember four, + - × /! Way more collectable and advanced than mine- it even has the functions I'm currently in need of right now! Fortunately, we can do quite a lot of this stuff in spreadsheets.
wuvvum Posted October 12, 2021 Posted October 12, 2021 My dad had a scientific calculator much like that when I were a nipper. Red LED display if memory serves. By the time I did my A levels he'd moved on to a fancy top-of-the-range Texas Instruments thing with a QWERTY keyboard. I borrowed it for my exam - my "revision" consisted mainly of typing all the formulae I'd need into the calculator's memory. QWERTY keyboards on calculators were such a newfangled thing at the time that the exam regulators hadn't got around to banning them.
