Seems suspiciously cheap to me at £9.99

What has it got to do with DIY? Is your computer infected? Why did you post the same thing at 8:44AM this morning, in HTML?

Why? its plastic and the remote operation is probably using the cheapest electronic components available.

..with DIY?

This post was sent as a humerous question. I'll expalin. You know..tower crane...a tool. Tools are aften discussed on this group. Perhaps you didn't make the connection because a tower crane is not often used by the average or even exceptional DIYer.

Hope not.

The html version didn't show in my outlook express so I thought it had been rejected by the server or something. Awful sorry, darling.

Why didn't you blow a gasket when a previous poster posted a link to the 'Will it Blend' subject?

Do you blend, Phil?

I see, sort of.

It sounds like a faulty interface between chair and keyboard to me.

I see, sort of.

I didn't blow a gasket, I enquired as to the health of your machine, plus he didn't post the same thing twice, eight hours apart.

Sorry Arthur, but no.

It's a bit tortuous, isn't it?

It would also have been helpful if he'd posted more than just a bare URL.

Even if I could have copied and pasted from Netto's online PDF document I wouldn't have as it would spoiled the surprise, eg my 'grave' statement, "Seems suspiciously cheap to me at £9.99" Your average uk.d-i-y member would have clicked un the url expecting perhaps to see, e.g. a SDS drill at £9.99 or a 950 piece screwdriver set for the same price. But then perhaps being amused by the appearance of a child's tower crane for that price. Then I was hoping that this would trigger off a number of responses from the members (some of whom know that I am currently burdened with a phenomenal number of diy projects) who usually make witty comments and bring some humour to my much put upon life. (sigh) ...............sigh............ {Arthur has just thrown himself to the floor in floods of tears and cannot continue with this post}
