I'm not touching anything else on it.. I don't want anymore headaches.

The clock solder to the SDMA already broke, had to resolder some pins there already.

I've cut my fingers on 3 times now as well :( Never once on my falcon, handled it thousands of times.. each time I move yours, it has a finger! It's my mouse clicking finger as well :(

Ouch! :awwww:

She's not used to all the attention from relative strangers, obviously!
I've had a cut or two off other STs (usually the sheilding) but don't think the Falcon has brawn blood in the past - I just hope she doesnt get the taste for it or I'll have to call her Audrey III

Hilarious isn't it really....

They should add "...but don't sell too much. We send your sales data to HMRC" :D

Absolutely !

Was rudely awakened around 5am this morning where it sounded like a cat was trying to kill a bird or something.

At about 10 to 6 this morning it sounded like a kid was being strangled or something because I heard a lot of screaming.

I looked outside and couldn't quite make out what it was but looked like a cat with something else outside the lounge window..

I was about to open the window and throw something at them when the blob separated into two pieces and turned out to be two foxes which ran off in different directions.

One fox ran up the path and then turned around and started screaming.

I actually kind of knew Fox's did sound like that but never had actually experienced one personally. It literally did sound like a kid screaming at the top of his voice or a young girl screaming.

Maybe you should tell Ylvis what the fox said?

Who's Ylvis? I've no idea what the fox said.. I do know what I said though.. Which was shut the hell up!

I suppose it went unnoticed as it was next to a retirement home. It's questionable if half people there are even alive.. The ones that are probably deaf.. Was half expecting the police to turn up.
