I have 40 VHS cassettes, each with an hour's news coverage. The set covers the years 1930-1969.  

The problem? I no longer have a machine on which to play them.

Anyone have a working model to sell or know where I can get one?

Cheers

Have just moved to Vienne and looking for some serviceable if not shiny garden tools... couple of hand tools for window boxes, leaf rake, garden fork, spade, hedge shears, pruning shears, ordinary rake, hand mower for fiddly bits [already have for rest an ancient Stiga tracteur-tondeuse in excellent condition]. Preferably not too far from Saint Léomer - La Trimouille. Also step ladder? Two/three steps and larger ladder/step ladder.

Cheers

PS Need to replace jockey wheel on 2.5 metre trailer -- new obviously. Any sources come to mind?]]>

Hi my new neighbours [well after March 11 anyway]

I am shifting my small but perfectly formed body from Gers to Saint Léomer on March 11 [date for signing the vente authentique].

As soon as I arrive I will be looking for a round kitchen table [not enormous] with chairs, a couple of spare beds for upstairs, and one or two bed settees. So will be very happy to see piccies and prices on those items please.

I am in need of a picture framer, hopefully located in the general area. There is a fellow who advertises in Etcetera but he is in 87 and I was hoping not to have to travel so far.

Anyone who is a framer or knows of one, I would greatly appreciate hearing from you.

I don't need anything fancy, just a little camera I can carry around that is simple to use and can take an SD Card.

Thank you.

My old laptop recently gave up and instead of buying a new one I got my Mums old one that she got fed up with as it kept crashing and decided to see if I could fix it.  After a good clean out and a lot of fiddling around I managed to get it running as good as new and I'm now using it daily.

Since then I had a go at fixing my own old laptop, and I'm pleased to say I too managed to get that going and I'm now using it just for listening to music. But unfortunately it has a lot of bad sectors on the disk and keeps going wonky, and now looks like it's on it's last legs.

Anyway I enjoyed getting them both working again and it got me thinking how people just dump their laptops and buy new ones. So if you are one of those people and are willing to give your old laptop away I would be grateful as I can have a little tinker with it.

This is just a little hobby and I'm not going to be selling them, I just want to play around and see if I can get another one working for my music and one for Mrs Fred to use.

I don't want to pay for anything as I do have one working fine, but thought if by any chance someone out there is throwing their old laptop that has WIFI away I can probably make use of it.

Thank you.]]>

But as we managed to save most of the old cover in the end and it's folded up in the barn we are thinking we could extend it a bit should anyone have any spare tubes they no longer need

So if anyone has any old tubes that they no longer need please don't dump them as we may be able to make use of them.

Thank You.
