Today’s feature is another book. This time is a fiction book.

Doctor Who – The Clockwise Man is a book based on the Christopher Eccelston series on Doctor Who.

Can’t tell you much more as still reading Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince which is slow going.

The next present is the 2nd (of 2) I purchased with a Gift Voucher.

The War Of The Worlds by Jeff Wayne. Wanted this album for a while so grabbed this bargain.

Have already uploaded to my MP3 player along with other the other CD presents I will feature in next few days.

So have now finished my busy weekend. Friday was Birthday. Had family night in and quite a bit to drink, but not too much as had to get up for 8am on Saturday.

Saturday was spent at the Scout Hall with other local Amateurs having what we have now termed our “Radio Play Days”.

We had 2m and HF stations on the air for us and the scouts/cubs to use. Also a Half-Size G5RV was installed at the hall.

Also I built my SandPiper 10-40 & 80m HF portable antenna based on a 9m fibre-glass pole. Was tested on an analyser and seems closely resonant to said frequencies.

Before I left on saturday, I was given the post as I left by the postman. One was from Radio Licence Centre. I thought might be my new Licence, but was them returning my pass paper. So at least I know my forms are being dealt with. Hopefully not too long until new call.

The third present I received on my birthday was the 1st (of 2) I purchased with a Gift Voucher.

Like some tracks from the Film so decided on Trainspotting soundtrack.

Have already uploaded to my MP3 player along with other the other CD presents I will feature in next few days.

So todays featured present is The World’s Stupidest Instructions book. It has some real comical instructions like the following:-

In a Hotel:- Please do not turn on TV except in use.

Directions for mosquito repellent:- Replacing battery: replace old battery with new one.

Certainly kept me amused for a while.
