My lads bought a Tanglewood electro/acoustic guitar, and someone from work has given us a practice amp.

It's staying in the boot of the car till he gets better, mind.

You're doing a great job, RamNut,  but can I suggest you contact the RSPB?

I don’t think they are open or accepting animals for rescue, due to the virus.

No mate. Its coming from USA so I guess there are going to be delays on parcels and the like. 

Did the seller provide a usps tracking number. You'll find it's probably at Heathrow distribution centre if you have one and track it.. At the minute items are there for about 7 days. Then there might be a delay at the local office if there's a custom charge.  It shouldn't take longer than two weeks to get from the states to the you.

New solitaire peg board?

It's a pizza disc. I have started making my own pizzas, and it would make life a lot easier if I could put the dough on that after I have stretched it, then 'build' the topping and transfer it to the oven. Last night, I was faced with the problem of transferring a large topped pizza onto my pre-heated stone disc before transferring it to the oven.

I solved it by folding the pizza into a calzone, transferring it to the pizza stone, then unfolding and redistributing the cheese, chorizo and mushrooms. Then I remembered that Dominos etc use these discs to build the pizza on before passing it through the cooker, so I ordered one from Amazon.

I've just watched a YouPo…. I mean a YouTube - yes, YouTube - video on how they do that pretty crimping around a pasty. Going to try it on a Calzone next week.

Thanks for info. We sent a small parcel to Derby from Sweden which took almost a month during the pandemic. Im sure it will arrive shortly. Trying to be patient. 

I brought the record on Discogs, a well known music site and the seller is highly scored. Payment was paypal too so we are safe.

Clues in the name . Didn't spot it.  In that case you can disregard everything I said as baalocks. Why would your parcel be at Heathrow . lol.

Use discogs a fair bit myself, it's a good site but I do tend to get them to cross ref the matrix run outs now as a bit of a first press junkie and had a few incorrect listings sent to me.  Ordered a signed Damned lp that was supposed to be white vinyl . Turned up unsigned and black .  That was probably my favourite .

Hope it turns up soon .
