What instrument was this written for as it only has four strings?

Young talent!

How did I forget that one! Also Arbtalk will be about ten times more active than normal. Which brings me to think of all the work Steve Bullman does to make this site so good. He is probably not having much sleep at the moment tending to the beautiful little Maddalena So thank you again Steve for all your hard work

Wondering if we can find some positive outcomes for this Lock Down. Here is my first dozen 1. Giving up smoking (not me!) 2. More attention to eating fresh food and less sugar (Me!) 3. Lose that weight you have been trying to shift for years (Me!) 4. Meeting elderly and vulnerable people from your community to help them, which you otherwise would never have met 5. Facing your family and having to resolve issues that you would normally walk away from by going to work 6. Cleaning the house 7. Tidying up your bookwork and accounts 8. Finding time to read books like Norwegian Wood 9 Hopefully the country will try and be more self sufficient for food security and have less exotic imports with no account of the conditions or procedures of their production 10 less just in time globalisation in general. 11 More people working from home via the internet 12 Start that vegetable garden "Digging for Britain!" Any more

Thinking about this a little more and also referring to another link somebody posted, I cannot see how it is possible that one and a half billion people, living in close proximity with not enough health care, could have less fatalities than Italy China's Coronavirus Coverup -- Devastating Lies | National Review WWW.NATIONALREVIEW.COM And the irreparable damage they have caused around the globe.

I have often thought of the wealth of knowledge and experience that you and the doctors I know have had. One spent time in South Africa and saw many diseases that you would never see here. I was wondering if there was a doctors site like arbtalk where you could ask a question if you were a young doctor and needed some help. Somehow the retired doctor would need to be rewarded for his advice that found the right outcome. Need Steve Bullman's brains to work that one out!

One of the three doctors is ten years older than you. He said that he thought one of the problems was medical colleges trying to be gender equal. In his day there were only a handful of women in the college with him, but now they are forced to have equal numbers. He says it is an unfair but true statistic that a large proportion of the women being trained now will leave the profession for several years to have families and maybe not return. This is a large waste of education and leads to a general shortage of doctors. Maybe a hard fact of life. Now your wife is a doctor, so I would be interested to know her thoughts on this

Just had a whatsapp from a Chinese friend of mine, she was brought up in Shandong, left for Uk in 1990s and still has many friends and family in China. She says that the Chinese government lie about everything and that the true death toll is over eight million in China

I have three doctor friends who have rather worryingly taken early retirement. Pressure of general practice, long hours and form filling. If I put you in charge of the health service, what changes would you make to improve the environment for doctors and nurses?

I'll try and find some photos of my set up. But it's basically both heat sources into the Dunsley Neutralizer with a danfoss thermostatic switch clipped on to the top over flow pipe set at the desired radiator pump temperature (mine was 80*C) which then switches on the radiator pump. I was also lucky that I could just run the hot water as a gravity circuit. It was good as the central heating could be worked off timer or water temperature. I think that you would need a thermostat on the side of the gravity fed tank to cut out the heating pump when necessary to keep the gravity tank at a constant temperature

I know what I shall be doing in lock down, away from everyone!

Well, I feel slightly more in the mood when I play this while drinking my bottle of Batemans XXX at home in lock down!

So why was there not massive inflation, German 1920s style, after the last massive QE session in 2008? Also I would have expected a bog roll supermarket type frenzy on gold with similar mindlessness!

Yes, I understand all of that but I would have thought that gold would be taking off and have sailed past the £2000/ounce mark especially when the Eastern countries are badly affected by all of this.

Cannot understand why gold would go down slightly when the world is facing the biggest financial meltdown in history.

I fitted a Dunsley about ten years ago as a link between the Aarow Stratford boiler stove which is about 90,000 btu and a North Sea Gas boiler about the same btu. There were complicated loops suggested in the Dunsley system with a pump to stop condensation. I put it in but have never used it as the stove runs full tilt most of the Winter You do need thermostat to start the pump if it overheats, but again it is not used in my case as I leave the pump on all the time which does fifteen radiators and two bathroom floors.So my system is very simple. I have two large cylinders, one for wood/gas heat and the other for summer and solar tubes 24 of them. This is slightly more complicated as I have a changeover/mixing electric valve that I can operate in the bathroom should I run out of solar water halfway through my bath or shower! The wood/gas cylinder is heated by convection so the pipes need to be at least an inch and have a clear straight run from the Dunsley to the cylinder above. The system is therefore very simple and the gas automatically cuts in when the fire dies down either at night or if we are away. It senses the heat in the Dunsley as it has its own pump on that circuit which is separate from the main heating pump. It works for me as I have an unlimited supply of wood and my wife is always cold! I think that I must save myself several grands worth of oil or gas with the two systems over the year.

This elm died last year. It is 30 inches in diameter. I have felled no large elms and was a bit apprehensive about tackling this one especially since I only had a 16 inch bar I cut out the gob and plunged from either side and cut back to leave a tab. Nicked the tab and ran to as safer place as I could find behind a large sycamore . the 70 foot tall tree just keeled over gently, exactly where it was supposed to Now to make some floor boards with the Lucas Mill I left the stump high partly because I have a bad back and partly to judge the plunge cuts more accurately

I think it’s more like a monetary suppository to alleviate monetary constipation causing monetary diarrhoea so we all end up in the shite

Our journey was last summer, but you are right, it felt like lock down or even "After the Apocalypse"

Sounds a bit like EU money misspent, just like many places in Europe. My wife and I drove from Lisbon to Porto and there was not a car on the motorway which looked to have been built at vast cost due to a lot of it being elevated above a low plain. Just a small sample of the waste. Subscribe to read | Financial Times WWW.FT.COM News, analysis and comment from the Financial Times, the worldʼs leading global business publication

Cannot really understand the full implication of throwing untold billions at the economies of the world. We seem to owe trillions here alone, Italy seems to be in terrible trouble. The EU seems to have lost all control of its border policies and its fiscal policies. I think it will be the final nail in the coffin for the EU, they certainly have no monetary reserves left. Surely printing money must end up with massive inflation and the only reason we have not had inflation since the 2008 financial crisis is that governments and banks have put the lid on it. They never actually solved the basic problem, just pushed it forward. But as you all know, when you seal the lid on a boiling container, at some point it has to explode.
