Good man, a beer will do that all the time. Cheers.

It’s one of Don’s Brain teasers! I can think of three possible answers:

2 are vegetarian and 1 is vegan.
1 is vegan and vegetarian and 1 is nominally vegan but sometimes lapses to just vegetarian.
2 are nominally vegan but sometimes lapse, but remaining vegetarian.

We’ve recently been able to put some faces to some of the members as the photo thread lights up with portraits, so I thought I’d share a portrait of me that one my grandkids took.

Mike_S · February 20, 2020, 7:59am

For some reason I thought you’d be younger?

Pete_the_painter · February 20, 2020, 7:59am

I’ve had a tough life.

My climate cartoon got deleted from the jokes thread. Bit of a joke thread the joke thread. It’s seems sensitivity overrides humour. Unusual for a joke thread.

Pete_the_painter · February 20, 2020, 8:04am

I didn’t see it so I can’t really comment.

Pete_the_painter · February 20, 2020, 8:06am

How long do think that’ll last here.

Mike_S · February 20, 2020, 8:07am

So you think it might be considered political? It’s more satire, like spitting image.

Pete_the_painter · February 20, 2020, 8:08am

There’s 2 things going on, one Richard is keeping a close eye on this free range thread or he could think it’s too stupid to bother looking. I won’t flag it.

Pete_the_painter · February 20, 2020, 8:10am

Yes but it is political satire, think that’s what he’s looking at.

Mike_S · February 20, 2020, 8:11am

Less than 4 minutes…

Richard.Dane · February 20, 2020, 8:13am

Mike, you know I removed your picture once before, so why re-post it? You know that Naim have asked that there be no politics on the forum (and that includes “jokes”, by the way), so please respect that. Thank you.

Pete_the_painter · February 20, 2020, 8:13am

Obviously it was option 1.

Pete_the_painter · February 20, 2020, 8:15am

Getting back to no topic, my recent tweaks have made a huge difference. Trouble is I did so many in one hit I’m not sure which has had the biggest effect.

Mike_S · February 20, 2020, 8:16am

Fair enough. Now, your CD player question. Do you have a Bluray player that you can try through the 272 as a comparison?

Pete_the_painter · February 20, 2020, 8:18am

Only a cheap one, I was going to get a lend (read home demo) of the CD play over the weekend. Problem is I’ve just bought a new car and Mrs Pete might murder me in my sleep if spent any more on “toys”

Mike_S · February 20, 2020, 8:18am

Same here . You could always start removing them one by one to find out, but that would be dangerously close to what’s going on in cable mania. Probally best just to enjoy things at this stage.

Mike_S · February 20, 2020, 8:20am

So, here is what I did. I bought my wife her new car before I upgraded the hi-fi

Pete_the_painter · February 20, 2020, 8:24am

There’s no way I’m going down that rabbit hole, I’ll just be happy with what I have (at least till the dust settles)

And Mrs Pete’s Merc is only 3 years old.
