I'm at work all week, so it'll probably next weekend when I get the
chance to take another photo.


Ha! I spotted a prime candidate for my DIY section on Wednesday, but I
couldn't stop because the road is a clearway. On Thursday I went a different
route to avaid some roadworks (I've been in Lincoln all week) so I didn't
get a chance. On Friday I parked 250 metres away and legged it to the house,
but the damned aerial had falled a bit further and was not visible!

Then you'll need to take your charger with you wherever you go.


I've a charger in the van so no problems there. I know the battery life
with use of bluetooth and WLAN is only about a day and a half. But I like
the phone and a good workhorse for business with the use of the 7" screen
and bluetooth keyboard I've in the van too.

I've got an N95 8GB but haven't got a clue how to use the thing really. I
just use it for internet and calls. Whats the screen & bluetooth used for in
the van? I know it's quite a powerful phone but just haven't had the time to
work out how to use it properly.

The screen is to give me something bigger to look at that the phones
screen. And the bluetooth keyboard makes emailing far easier. In
reality, when things where quieter over the july holidays, I had too
much time on my hands.

Don't you just hate it when the installations are too bad to stay up
long enough to photograph!

Mister Marky Sahib,

The wisdom of the ages is at my disposal through transcendental meditation
and I must tell you that I have received a message for you. The product No
More Nails should be treated as a Class A substance. Use it at your peril.
It is OK if you dry it and smoke it but do not attempt to use it to fix up
aerials on walls.

The Maharishi Yagi

Saw this today...

It's a new block of flats in Bedford town centre, and that is the
communal aerial installation. Looks pretty **** poor to me. As does
the quality of the pic, but I only had my phone with me :-)


Could you take your proper camera with you on Monday?

Where about's in Bedford Marky? I'm out and about in town today. There
is a odd one near the Pheasant pub that confuses me, a vertically
polarised contract style yagi side on to Sandy. I suspected for a long
time it maybe some form of private link.

Foster Hill Road, down towards The Broadway. The flats are built
where Harrison's & Rowley's used to be. On Saturdays, I park up in
Bedford Park & walk down that way to see my mate who lives in a flat
above The Angel night club in The Broadway. There is also two 1p
coins glued to the pavement on that road too.
