What will be will be.
Well after several unsuccessful registrations it seems the database does not like any variation of my name
So to put it to bed I have registered as the user name shown. Finally my user name works as it should.
Vernon: please delete the last "Tony Morcom" registration as it still does not work. I had hoped that leaving it until after the system backup would solve but alas no.

Re: What will be will be.
Hi John
Sadly that's just another one of those jobs pending when I get some time to myself. Hopefully over the winter I will get the chance to get some of them done. I started a model of my first ship about 18 months ago and that's still sat in my den half finished. I can honestly say that I seemed to have more "me" time when I was working full time than I get now lol.

Re: What will be will be.
Tony are you not making yourself liable for Copywrite, Copyright, accusations and fines by Mr. Houlder and his brothers, and sisters if he had any. Have you received any writs yet. You could always volunteer to go back to sea if they had any ships that is . to pay off the fines. Get the sextant fixed you may need it. Cheers John S
