Anyway thanks for the shore pass and ditty bag I'm off to see what I can find.

Oh! Ye of little faith -- I'm sure that Tmac can knock up a very reliable gyroscopically stabilised, inertia controlled device to maintain the required gravitational stability required by your pendulums? We could even fit in a couple of bunks to afford absolute peace and quiet for those who have over imbibed., Hic!
