# Got my Tesla coil going last night.
And yes I have chopped my mate Scotty in there for scale. He wouldn't stand there when I turned it on. Smart bloke.

# Yes.
If you remember back to newsletter 88, we were asked to play with electrickery.

I'm planning on doing a bit of a web site and submitting it. Unforunately it's pissing with rain tonight and 1MV and water don't mix. So it will have to wait till I can take some more photos later.

# Coward.
That's exactly what Rob meant. Now get out there, get soaking wet and get your executor to post the pictures.

That last bit will require a will or a rewrite of any existing one. Seems like a sensible thing to do.
