Actually, of course, KISASS is extremely simple - that being the whole
point of the exercise. It also works better than your pathetic - and
never built - piece of DHT trash.

Just a moment Mr.P, just a moment. You yourself admitted that you
had not bothered to build your design, and neither has anyone else on
this group. So whence your assertion that it "works better?"

I was interested to build your amplifier, and showed your
schematic to the head of technical service at Swedish TV.
He studied it carefully, for thirty seconds, screwed the paper
into a ball, tossed it into the waste bin.

Hopefully you are a better mail-room operative than you are
amplifier designer, Stewart:-)

Cordially,

Pinkerton is resting up from the labours of all his lies in The Gambia,
stuffing his face in defiance of the hungry children pressing their
faces through the bars just out of sight to keep them out of the hotel
grounds. See
http://groups.google.ie/group/rec.au...51c a26a13a36
which itself contains too many PinkoPorkies even to start straightening
them out.

Pinkerton, incidentally, claims he's in Africa to dig dirt on me. The
fact that he is several thousand miles from my usual stamping grounds
seem to have escaped him. More, as always, he is totally ignorant. The
last time I was in West Africa, I wasn't slobbing in luxury hotels
feeding my face, I was hustling a food convoy across Africa to relieve
the famine. Pinkerton could have discovered that down at his local
library, as I later wrote a book about it (1). But I doubt Pinkostinko
knows where his library is; he prefers to make up stuff.

Yes I have just come accross a post where he wrote:

As ever, that's a flat lie, I never said I was going to do any such
thing. However, I am off for a fortnight's serious pampering at
Coconut Residence in The Gambia - terrible name but a fabulous place,
with the best restaurant in West Africa and some of the best fish
anywhere in the world.


Aahh!! The Coconut Residence, aka, Salmonella City!!

I still have the bathrobe with the embroidered monogram
which they presented to us during a a recording trip of
six weeks in Gambia and Senegal for DWA just a few
years ago.

Gambia is full of surprises:
Typhoid, Hepatitis A, Diptheria, Tuberculosis, Rabies,
Hepatitis B, Mengingitos, Yellow Fever, Tetanus, Polio,
Malaria, viral hemorrhagic fever, etc etc etc.

Our project producer was taken ill with enteric fever
and had to be flown home to Denmark by private
air-ambulance. He still gets periodic repeat symptoms.
Two others were also taken sick with severe dysentery!

Gambia is one of the few countries where the Scandinavian
travel health insurance policy is reduced from the standard
90 days to 30 days. (Which probably means that the
chances of catching something serious after 1 month are
pretty good:-) Our client had to pay a heavy excess for
90 day cover.

But, Abuko and Kiang national parks are worth a visit.

As for the fish in Gambia, better is to be had from any of a
dozen villages along the Cornish coast in the UK:-)
without the risk of Diphyllobothriasis - an infection caused
by a fish tapeworm common in W.Africa.

Sorry to prick your notoriously puffed-up ego, but all guests get
those.........

Incidentally, don't try going there June/July this year. The OAU
summit is being held in the Gambia, and as the best hotel in the
country, Coconut Residence (and its villas) is being 'blocked out' for
the use of assorted Government heads/despots/psychopaths for the
duration of the talks. It was so tempting to leave a little present
for our good friend Bob the Mugger..........

The good thing is that these are *not* surprises - and therefore
avoidable! Anyone who forgets that West Africa was once known as the
White Man's Graveyard, and fails to act accordingly, deserves his
fate.

Careless buggers, weren't they?

Taking basic precautions is a better 'policy', IME.

********, most of the fish comes from the Atlantic, not the Gambia
river, besides which proper cooking kills any such parasites. If you
prefer to eat fish from the horribly polluted waters around the
over-populated UK, that's your choice, but please leave out the
idiotic comparisons. BTW, Diphyllobothriasis is also common in Eastern
Europe.

Of course, if you want to get 'the authentic feel of Africa' and go on
one of those pre-packaged village visits with 'authentic local food',
then you are likely to get what you deserve. Even Andre wouldn't be
*that* crazy! :-)

Pinkerton, leave me out of your smug bragging about your ostentatious
consumption right in the faces of starving children.

The last time I was in West Africa I did not stay in luxury hotels. I
slept on a bunk in the cab while someone else drove the relief truck
loaded with food for the famined.

There's no point in even expressing my contempt for you; you wouldn't
understand.

Well gee I guess we can all stop this pursuit of High-End audio and
give the money to the starving children of Africa.

I don't imagine it would make very much difference. Africa is a sink of
corruption, incompetence and violence.

I don't care what you do with your money, JT; I have no opinion on
where you should spend it; it is yours; do with it as you please.

What I object to is slime like Pinkerton trying to make me complicit in
his immoral choice of a pensioner's all-inclusive luxury holiday in
Africa.

That the Organization of African Unity, which is the club which
protects those guilty of the corruption, incompetence and violence
which kills so many millions every year in Africa, chooses to meet in
the hotel in where Pinkerton went on his pensioner's package holiday,
tells you why those of reasonable everyday sensitivity would never stay
there, never mind brag about it.

This isn't the place to discuss the evils abroad in Africa, and no one
here except me knows enough about them to discuss them anyway, so,
while you are of course free to reply, you will forgive me if I don't
take any further part in this thread.

Actually, my 'ostentatious consumption' keeps quite a few of them
employed. Also, if you actually *knew* anything about The Gambia,
you'd be aware that it doesn't *have* any starving children, being one
of the most food-rich countries in all Africa. No money, for sure, but
plenty of food, in fact they *export* lots of fish and ground nuts,
and they have an excellent local brewery. The Gambians, of whom there
are only 1.3 million, are one of the few nations which has learned
God's basic lesson - stop breeding when the food's getting short.

That's the basic reason for the continuing Cold War between Senegal
and The Gambia, as Senegal would just love to have the super-fertile
banks of the Gambia river as part of its own agricultural
infrastructure.

The last time I was in West Africa I did not stay in luxury hotels. I
slept on a bunk in the cab while someone else drove the relief truck
loaded with food for the famined.

Oh dear, more bull**** from Jute.

Hey Andy, I'm confused about the timeline here. Was this before or
after you had some poor kid put up in front of a firing squad, as per
one of your previous 'Tall Tales from Darkest Africa'?

Also, was it before or after you were training police drivers in
pursuit techiques?

Also, was if before or after you rescued Nelson Mandela from Robben
Island?

Please select whichever deranged fantasy is your particular preference
this week...........

There's no point in even expressing my contempt for you; you wouldn't
understand.

My understanding far exceeds your literary capabilities, dear boy.....

BTW, please leave me out of your pathetic ravings about starving
children, as that's down to corruption, tribalism and over-breeding,
not tourists like me who bring in lots of hard currency.
