      I was preparing lunch prior to taking the wife to hospital for three appointments and a minor procedure when I heard a bang outside, Oh no, it was the coalman who had just ran into the back of my car damaging the tailgate and wiping out the rear lights, cue mad panic to get things sorted. All appointments made and initial repairs to lights tomorrow. Worst thing is I was taking the car in next week to exchange for a new one.

  3. Is trying to fight the closure of our village school by a church Acadamy trust, who effectively want our children (in a non CoE school) to bolster the numbers at another CoE school. The more we dig the more disturbing things we find.....

  5. Those that can recall my status update a while back where I said my wife Wendy had been diagnosed with cancer of the womb. Two operations later and a manic few months and she has just been given the all clear. They say they caught it in time before it had a chance to spread. Thank you for all the well wishers and people who sent pm messages of support

  6. Oh dear! When trying to do some modelling this morning I dropped a 500ml tin of gloss varnish on my station building and platform. Did I; a) Swear but stay calm & plan a recovery action. b). Swear profusely and bin the dripping model in a fit of anger. c) Burst into tears, leave the shed, slam the door and say "S*d this modelling lark."

      Metro - I used to have a very similar quote on my desk when I was at work.

      Anyway the answer was 'a' and yes things are retrievable so I think a thread update is required.

  7. Apparently we have a gunman holed up in his house just around the corner. I thought nothing ever happened in this village, just shows how wrong you can be.
