Well Chesterfield isn't a village, it's a fairly large town - but certainly internet streaming is unlikely!.
Working for SPECTRE has its advantages....
If Mr Blofeld doesn't mind, I'll reposition our satellite and beam stuff around the globe. World domination can wait till the week after. Hope I don't press the wrong button......

Re: Re: CDN Beer
That's nothing.
It's so crowded overhere we have to grow upwards, 25 years from now we''ll have a population of scry-scrapers. I'm sharing my bed with a box of tomatoes.

Attention all, we now have a proper domain for the UK festival (yes, it has been upgraded to a festival now!)
http://uk.diyaudio.com/festival07/
I will email a username/password (soon) to verified dA members that have signed up - for access to the equipment sneak peak page. Please email me some pics of stuff you will (or might) be bringing to make the that page a bit more exciting!

Programme
As I'll probably be mooching up from london on the train and only for one day at some point I'd like to know when any of the talks are planned to happen.
This will help me decide whether to come up for sat or sun.
cheers guys.

New photo's taken:
Access to rear of building:
Rear of building and entrance to lounge (yes that is a graveyard backing on to rear of the building!)
Lounge(probably best to set up the kit along the wall in this shot)
There's also a cozy seating area and serving hatch from which beers can be passed from the fridge 🙂 This serving area also opens out into every room so is ideal for Al to coordinate from 😀
Shot from seating area looking out to rear exit:
Then we have the main hall and smaller hall:
And finally a floorplan:
An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

Someone might want to stuff some big area rugs into their lorry...

(excuse me if i got the colloquialisms wrong, my English is mostly gathered from the BBC, in Canada we'd call it a truck)

Hi,
truck is OK, that's what our professionals would call them.
It's only us old fashioned amateurs that might refer to them as lorries.
Just make sure it's not a flat bed.

In which case your English is correct, no question about it.
Trucks are the things in Canada and America. They are easily identified by the fact that they have lots of chrome and the engine sticks out the front under a bonnet (hood) that looks like a dog's muzzle. European lorries hide their engine under the driver to keep his feet warm. Smaller vehicles are vans or Robin Reliants. A Robin Reliant is the plastic grass-collecting box from one of your lawnmowers fitted with doors.

Nope, that's a lorry.

Funny, overhere we have US Full Size Vans with engines sort of halfway between the seats.
The end of the automatic tranny is below the back seat, the one in my parking lot seems to fit that picture anyway.
Must be a British thing, you'd probably place a kettle between the rocker covers for some tea.
