As per the previous (And by now very long!) Thread, here's a place for general banter as well as a repository for Staff to move stuff that threatens to take over an existing Topic to.

Please nevertheless abide by the letter and spirit of the Forum Rules.

No Religion, Politics or other issues likely to lose friends!

You're thinking of Lordi for the Finns.

If at first you don't succeed, you're about average.

That puts parrots above all of us:D

While we're on the theme of hypocrisy, did anyone catch the PM getting stitched up by Squeeze this morning on the Andrew Marr show when they changed the lyrics of Cradle to Grave .....

Mr Tilbrook sang: 'I grew up in council houses, they're part of what made Britain great. But there are some people who are hellbent on destruction of the welfare state.'

Not sure if he was awake enough to spot it, though!

My Satellite Setup
125 Gibertini, Stab-120 (30W-86.5E), TM-F3/5/TM-5302HD+230Pf (C-band 40.5W-87.5E)
My Location
Southern Finland
Earlier today I wondered why C-band dish was "dead". Was quite a snow chaos here also and simple solution, there´s maybe snow all over the prime focus. I turned dish and not even a hint from any signal. Ok I walked to dish and knocked Lnb with stick (about 3m above).
Suddenly little bird pop up and flew away.

This was 2nd time and now my wifey really laughing hysterically and acting like "motorized Lnb traveller" all the time she looking at me:-rofl2
