I saw your post on racecar just after I posted the one on here. It's the spelling that gave me away.

I hate my depression. I hate myself.
I am overweight, pi55ed off, hate my job, and just generally fed up.
I am having a bad time, and "retail therapy" has only made things worse (financially).
So.. I sold my boat, my other Land Rover (My Off Road toy), and the half built Locost. I have cleared the car port, and the garage is next. I am
selling the computers - All 3 of them, that only leaves me with the other 7 in the house.
I still have a pile of crap to sell, its all going...
I need to clear out all the hoarded gear I have collected over the last few years.
My neighbours have shown their true colours last year when I put in for planning permission for a 45ft Mast in the garden (I am a Radio Ham as well).
From " I can listen to their mobile phone calls) to casting "Sun Dial Effect" shadows over their house. The fact is they live too
far away for that to be true.
I got 8 objecting households. But I managed to beat them. Its made me a nervous wreck. Parish Council were good though.
Its got bugger all to do with mobile Phones, but try telling these "Expert neighbors"! I have been in Comms both professionally and as a
hobby for 35 years).
Sod them all... I need to buy (more retail therapy  ) a BIG angle grinder, and use it at 3AM. Except the Disc Cutter I bought off Ebay has not
arrived despite being bought 3 weeks ago. The ebay "store" are not answering my emails any more (despite being polite).
Damn it... its all going wrong for me.
Sorry Guys (and Gals) I just need to unload and unwind.
Geoff - who is not a happy bunny at the moment.

Thanks for the sentiments Adam.
I beat them, and won, I got my Mast, despite their petty arguments.
I have just bought a rover v8, engine, and need to build a frame for it, so I can start and run it as a stationary engine, (no silencers) 
I think your the young 'un on the list. Saw you web site, Keep working on it, its worth it. Good luck to you mate.. Have fun whilst you can.
Making things with your own hands and brain, is a great asset, it will provide you with invaluable knowlege / experiences.
Thanks for your thoughts..
Best Regards

(there is another Geoff out there, so I have started to sign with the "W" at the end, so I dont get confused!.

Yes Please, I was well down last night, it was not a good weekend, I let both My Coil Srung Tax Free Lightweight Land Rover go, and the Locost
project.
Its really bare under the car port. I suppose its for the best.
A good Throbbing V8 will cheer me up!.
U2U me with a phone number or what ever, and we can talk off line.
Thanks.

Do you own a horse then Geoff? Stable near us gives it away but you have to bring your own bags. .
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

I passed my RAE when I was 16 (29 years ago) but lack of funds and unwillingness to learn morse kinda limited things.
My call sign is G7IWM - but Ive not held a license for years.
I cant imagine anyones neighbour willingly wanting someone to have a 45 ft mast in their garden...........
