    Now in the queue for Tescos for the weekly shop (doors open in 20 mins). There may be a loud pop over Cornwall later, that will be me getting my modelling finger out!

      Could you get me a bottle of Bowmore, please, if you're still there.

    Here's a bit of free advice - if using an electric drill to screw shelf brackets to the wall, don't leave your hand between the bracket and the wall when applying power to the drill.

    Does anyone know if GWR Pythons were well travelled in BR days? This East Anglian modeller rather likes the cut of the Parkside kit's jib.

      That's just decadent. Sorry, no other word for it . . . .

       

      PS it's at times like this that I wish I lived somewhere that chippies or whatever (or anything, come to think of it!) opened at unsociable, or even sociable!, hours.

       

      It's all very well living in the 1950s, but making as far as the 1960s or '70s would be nice every now & then!

    In a day full of surprises, a shocking and revealing statement to the media by Captain Kernow's wallet reveals that he is being held under virtual house arrest. 'I don't get out much', said Tarquin the wallet, 'in fact, I can't remember the last time I ever saw the inside of a model shop'. Captain Kernow himself was unavailable for comment today and is reported to have gone into seclusion in order to meditate on the aesthetic merit of a 16XX.

    I've just bought a “Poundland” Electric Insect Zapper. I've measured the potential difference between the inner and outer meshes to be 1.22kV (into a 1G Ohm load.) What can possibly go wrong?

      Brain dead, mindless idiots. Probably out of there skulls on something - we even had one down here on Saturday night, went over a stone wall & fell about 8ft into a stream. Had no idea who or where he was. Blood streaming from his head but got stroppy when the paramedics tried to find out who he was & where he lived.

      Shoot 'em.
