I'd rather be English and un-patriotic than be South African and patriotic, put it that way.

M&S..trouble free claim when we did have a problem as well, new bikes within about three or four says.

On my medication, they are cagey about even letting me ride a bike,mind you with the performance limitations of a hybrid i could just about crawl around frightening rabbits and sliding decorously off dustbins.

No, no i've had time to think about.

would mormally be the gauge of the strings, but if i remember rightly, those are phosphor bronze and I think you need nylon, not metal.)

fair do's:) dont have much to do with nylon strings sorry…….

Right they will alomost certainly need to be nylon again then or it will pull itself apart with the tension from steel strings.

I would say your best bet is take it to a local guitar shop, ask them what they've got and to string it for you and show you how to do it yourself next time, but there are quite a few people on here who play nylon strings who can probably recommend some but they can be tricky to fit the first time depending on the guitar. hope that helps.

I've got one of those azors and it's rubbish for me personally, but I have a quite "craggy" face, shall we say.

Has it got steel or nylon strings on it already?

Hmmm, that tele hot rod is gorgeous 🙂

Oh and these as well….

What I currently have lounging about the front room, got a few more in the workshop but dont have pics, the two gibsons I've had for about ten years, the blonde tele is a US custom shop build and the thinline sunburst tele, I built for a customer and they never paid for it, I liked it and kept it rather than sell it on.

Personally I would, if you don't and you need to claim they won't pay out if they find out and technically you may be uninsured I suspect, and the bastards will worm out of paying anyway they can.. might just be me that thinks that though.

And I repeat for those of you who simply don't,won't or can't understand the process:-

"Whether you like it or not…it does, so there"

When light enters materials, its energy is absorbed. In the case of transparent materials, this energy is quickly re-radiated. However, this absorption and re-radiation introduces a delay. As light propagates through dielectric (for example)material it undergoes continuous absorption and re-radiation. Therefore when the speed of light in a medium is said to be less than c, this should be read as the speed of energy propagation at the macroscopic level. At an atomic level, electromagnetic waves (light) always travel at c in the empty space between atoms.

Whether you like it or not…it does, so there. 🙂

I never said that the speed of light didn't vary, I said that the speed of the protons won't.

I suggest you read up on the particle/wave duality of light and photons. I've already posted the stuff below once already today and really can't be arsed going through it all again.

A photon – as you know – is an electromagnetic (EM) wave.Its energy is described by e = h. n in a quantum of energy. All EM waves travel in the vacuum with the speed of light. A photon is a form of energy and
results from transformations of another forms of energy.

When the photon appears it behaves like all EM waves.It does´t need to be accelerated. All bodies emit EM waves,even a peace of ice. The question concerns more on the frequency. If you see the light – visible light – it covers a range of wave length between 400 and 700 nanometers.

Waves do not need to be accelerated or decellerated. Particles
do, but we are talking about wave-photons, aren´t we ??And – besides of that – photons are generally regarded as particles with zero mass and no electric charge…

The pirate keyboard makes me smile every I see it, sad but true 🙂

"I am sure the speed of light does vary depending on the medium. The slowing down of light mentioned there is just that – slowing down. The light is not being absorbed and re-emitted. It's how refraction works afaik."

Yes it does vary in a sense but the speed of the the protons contained within the light doesn't.Refraction simply changes the a to b route of the protons so that they seem to take longer to get there.This is exactly how refraction works, the refractive index of the material is a measure of how much it diverts the protons effectively,But protons will always move at the speed of light regardless of the medium

So yes, light can seem to travel slower, but it actually is just being diverted and thus takes longer to reach it's destination.

Forbidden planet?

S'ok 🙂 I love this stuff…….

That's slowing the passage of light from a to b, not photons.When light enters a material, photons are absorbed by the atoms in that material, increasing the energy of the atom. The atom will then lose energy after some tiny fraction of time, emitting a photon in the process. This photon, which is identical to the first, travels at the speed of light until it is absorbed by another atom and the process repeats. The delay between the time that the atom absorbs the photon and the excited atom releases as photon causes it to appear that light is slowing down. in simple terms, the photons "bump" into the atoms and "bounce" off again so the light appears to travel slower, but the actual photons are not traveling any slower. They are just taking a more circuitous route from a to b

The varying speed of light cosmology, mostly proposed by Jean Pierre Petit, has no substantial evidence for it as is regarded as merely a concept though.However….It would require a rewrite of much of modern physics, to replace the current system which dependent on the constant c. which has been functioning quite well for quite some time now 🙂

As physics stands currently, photons do not accelerate or decelerate no matter what wiki says.:) although they possibly and that's a really very big possibly in the future.

Photons don't speed up or slow down, that's kind of what they do, tear arse around at the speed of light.

You don't explode in a vacuum if your suit springs a leak/falls off etc.

Nasa say "exposure to vacuum causes no immediate injury. You do not explode. Your blood does not boil. You do not freeze. You do not instantly lose consciousness.

Various minor problems (sunburn, possibly "the bends", certainly some [mild, reversible, painless] swelling of skin and underlying tissue) start after ten seconds or so. At some point you lose consciousness from lack of oxygen. Injuries accumulate. After perhaps one or two minutes, you're dying. The limits are not really known.

"You do not explode and your blood does not boil because of the containing effect of your skin and circulatory system. You do not instantly freeze because, although the space environment is typically very cold, heat does not transfer away from a body quickly. Loss of consciousness occurs only after the body has depleted the supply of oxygen in the blood. If your skin is exposed to direct sunlight without any protection from its intense ultraviolet radiation, you can get a very bad sunburn."

A nasa guy had an accidental exposure in the mid 60's and passed out at about fifteen seconds and says the worst thing was feeling the water on his tongue beginning to boil.

Dunno, that's the only mp I know of being caught with a Rasta….can't be that common can it?

Seems unlikely R Cook would stick his head up over the parapet for that though……

"I don't recall the story of the Tory MP and the Rasta on Hampstead Heath."

Thats because it wasnt a Tory, Labour MP Ron Davies claimed he was mugged by a Rasta on Clapham Common,some claim whilst he was cruising for gay sex. He was photographed again by the media recently, engaged in some

Allegedly 🙂

I suspect this may be what barelyincontrol was thinking of.

Definitely not till you open the box and even then it might not be.

I've been using Wilkinson Sword blades for thirty years and am perfectly happy with them, can get them everywhere as well.
