"Nothing like opening a can of worms."
Nah, not a can of worms - merely lots of good ideas being bandied around, is all. For instance, Malc Reade set my wheels in motion as soon as he mentioned that Maplin sell the disco fog fluid. FLJ was also bang-on because trying to explain disco fog fluid to some faceless, spotty oik on the end of the Maplin hot-line is a no-brainer from the start. Try it for yourselves... The next time you find yourself over Bournemouth way, pop into the local Maplin store and ask for a ORP12 light-dependant resistor. And promise not to laugh when you see what they bring you.
I took the liberty of taking Footski's sketch down to our local chemist... along with a mention of nebulisers, etc. The chap behind the counter takes one look at it and sez, "Sure, leave it with me."
In the meantime, while he's working on the oil/chemistry side of things, I'm working on the ac/dc converter.... preferably one that doesn't sap all the juice from a gel-cell in three minutes flat.
Thanks for the neat tip, amigo Footski. Watch this space...........
