You can also get the expanding foam post fix, but, I wouldnt trust it really, especially where I live on the side of a valley and when the storms blow in the right direction, whistling down the valley, nowt is safe!

Cannot beat a breaky uppy mode, saves the hand cramps and chipped knuckles knocking ten bells out of a chod of conc with a hammer and chisel.

I have a massive JCB drill with a concrete breaky uppy mode which has got me out of jail free a couple of times replacing rotted fence posts that has been concreted in.

Putting my 2 deckings in.... I've dug enough post holes to last me a life time... I feel sorry for the future poor sod who may want to shift'em... Like most things I do, I tend to go over the top, and as such, I've probably got shares in postcrete! :D

Consult a qualified electrician for compliance with BS 7671 and local building Regs! Avoid areas where future digging is likely. ;)

That depends on where the cable is to run. Minimum depth in a garden in 450mm. Under pavements 600mm.

Im sure in time we may get access to some off the old stuff :-X

Anyway's Im happy i have a new purpose and look forward to seeing my mates over here  ;) .

well, if someday you have problem to pay for the domain name + web hosting, ask for donations, some of us can donate a little.

rather than putting (annoying) ads everywhere like on blitzbasicdotorg ...

Dabzy

No ads, defo no ads!!!

One thing I do know, there will be no cash prize competitions, I'm at arms length with that, sorry folks!

If someone wants to put one up, they can, but they'll have to state me or other admin have no liability in such a thing, that, will be between yourselves if you do put a compo into motion!

Well, I'll put up ones for the laugh, maybe with a little daft prize, but for big'uns like we had in the past over at the old bomb, as I said, I'm not even going to go there.

The BlitzBasic "community" was great BITD. Anyone else remember the old BlitzCons? I mean, they were really just an excuse for a pissup but there were some good lads around back then; George Bray was sound, Blu Matt, Darth Pingu, RobinS, Ravey, Specis, Cicero, Mystik, James Boyd, Snarty, I even had a pint and a nice chat with Lee Bamber at one of them - he was a top lad. I've probably forgotten loads of others. People would rock up with laptops to show their WIPs on, and I'm sure the odd C64 and Amiga turned up on occasion.

They weren't over-attended. Usually 30-50 and it was a good atmos. That was all the people it needed.

You wouldn't get that happening nowadays.  :(

Dabzy

I never attended a BlitzCon, I remember when they were on though...

I've been to DevCons in Newcastle with James Mintram, and yes... It all resulted in ending up minging, Ubisoft staff used to rally too, I'll never really forget the first one talking to a bloke who looked like Jesse from Storage Wars, I asked him what he did, and he did server side stuff, he started telling me about it, and, well, I never had a single clue what he was on about... Thankfully James came over, must of seen I needed help, he asked what the score was, he seemed to understand, so I went outside for a ciggie and left them too it!

Last few things I remember that night was being in Flares jumping about like a mental, and then being in the car with my exe, she was going mental because of the state I was in, and probably getting kebab all over me and her car didnt help matters either! :D

Top night :D
