Wow. Given its astringency, I'm surprised it is possible to drink it.

Mind you, a wine importer / hotelier was once quite candid about his product: the only generalisation about wine is that the more you drink the better it gets.

Now, where's that last misshapen Coke bottle of elderflower fizz? I'll have some when the sun's gon down :)

It's an acquired taste. Mainly from my youth which was mostly spent trying to make alcohol of varying kinds from anything. Even boiled supermarket apple juice (to kill the preservatives) was brewed into cider in the old glass "dalek style" lucozade bottles under the bed with merely a bag of sugar and some bread yeast :D

Nothing TEA related today although I shall have to do something as my WSPR transmitter blew up last night spontaneously. Think there was an antenna problem as the finals have gone to silicon heaven. Fortunately they're only BS170s and I bought a massive bag of them.

Really need to buy or build an antenna analyser. Oh there we go, back on TEA :D

What we have here are the internal structures of a 450 lumen LED bulb (left) and an 800 lumen LED bulb (right). And how did I get these plus 2 others? By simply installing them in the 2 gooseneck lamps I recently bought. For some reason the glass bulb spontaneously shatters at the base and falls off. I don't have to touch or move the lamps. I hear this “clink” and the bulb falls off. I have no idea why. And the LED's continue to function. It is really weird.

I haven't had this happen in any other lamps. And I'm not screwing them in real tight either. As I stated the bulbs continue to function so I'll be damned if I'm going to throw them away. Just don't go sticking your fingers up there with power on and possibly get a shock.

what?   no...….really......how did you do that?  (thought those envelopes were plastic).

It's just begging for something to occupy it. Ebay has come to the rescue and provided the answer. It should be here in a few days. I'm not going to say what it is just yet but of course when it arrives I will give full details as well as naughty pron.  :-+

I will provide a clue....I love the look of ruby red LED displays in the morning.

I believe that was not so much intellectual capacity as number of toes, heads etc.
