not sure.. I don't seem to use any of that...

I've got some Matt Vanish, but I can never find the tin...

Don't know, but he sounds dull. 

Maybe its a Tetris thing, you need to turn, twist the boxes in a different format to fit them in. Either that, or the old box wasn't blue with 'Police' written on the outside was it?

Big Ikea storage boxes, ironically the old boxes were Ikea packing boxes for some cupboards bought years ago that were strong and at 90 degree angles - these storage boxes stack so are narrower at the bottom.

Still thinking this one through, not been the best of days for changing things.

The more I do this the less room I seem to have! Why?

Part of a periodic national testing programme I believe.

Probably, it only got one wooh before it was wound down again.

Nice to know we're ready for the Ruskies appearing over the North Sea....

I'm surprised about this - after all, TT(120) is a new scale / gauge combo in the UK market, so I wouldn't have expected too many people to have a call for it yet.

Like (I suspect) a number of people, I'm too heavily invested in OO.

Personally, I would have much preferred to see affordable RTR UK HO (something I've wanted for decades) - although everyone is likely to have their own opinions.

Of course, with me being in my late 50s, I need to think about what I'm likely to be able to comfortably see / work on in future years - TT would just be too small for me.

I guess I'm not their target market.

Apparently Allied Carpets have rushed out a special pattern for youchoobers to test out their FS's

All this investment by the trade in TT will only mean more shortages of basic OO scale stuff, like right hand turnouts, track joiners, spare couplings, fencing. All their bread and butter items. You only have to watch Hornby's YouTube channel to understand where their young marketing minds are at. We're doomed.  

It's done and all I had to do (and failed) was deliver a Starbucks Toffee Nut Latte - ordered a Gingerbread one in error as I thought I'd got it wrong in my head.

Decided on London Clay for the sealing paint on the baseboard, you can't just get 'light brown' anymore.

Just noticed I called the IP Cobalts Configs.

Day job interfering lol

Not a bad day all 6 items including painting the top completed.

Day2: Point laying......

It's going to be a looooooong two years....

However, there will be the entertainment value as they change Prime Minister every two months so all the members of the Cabinet have a go!

Musical chairs without the excitement.....

The Conservatives have always rejected PR, pointing to the example of Italy with coalitions repeatedly collapsing, reforming and multiple changes of Prime Minister each year.  It turns out they just see PR as unnecessary as they can deliver the latter on their own.

Sadly it’s on this forum, one rant and one moan.

Typed out  to get it off my chest and then deleted.

On the other hand, it can be therapeutic.

Just as well you remembered.

How about a 'post-it' note (remember those?) stuck on the side of the monitor?

Fleeeeeeegs. Loads of Fleeeeeegs. Gawd save the Fleeeeeegs.

I've just put my 30cm in my mouth, argggh.

Imperial units do not, and have not for a very long time, form a system of units independent of the SI. 

By definition, 1 yard = 0.9144 m.

By definition, 1 pint = 568.26125 ml.

@Mallard60022 Thanks for upsetting my stomach.....

Of course, I'm sure you've all noticed that this suggestion about Imperial Measurement is a bit of a smokescreen for a bonfire of various "EU" rules and regs that are getting in the way of the swashbuckling Captains of Industry and also to get the more extreme members of the "Conservative" MPs back on side to protect the position of our esteemed PM.

Interesting Times, folk......

No, Mr Woodenhead, this sporting stuff just goes on and on and on and on. Think of it as being a bit like the LNER.

What do you mean the football is done?

Biggest game of the year is on Saturday....

Oh, you mean the diversion from a 50th party, yes, up the Liverpool against France.

I estimate over 50 items up for sale.

Madness next Sunday if even only half sell

Of course, this move into furniture explains their adoption of sudden, frequent, DFS/SCS style ebay sales....

(15% off this weekend, I believe!)

Rails of Sheffield wine cellar, burgers and B1s or curry’s and DCC chips

we could be in for anything 😀

Instantly deleted when the email arrived! Ridiculous to go into such a competitive market.

All is good, now showing in searches and bids on two so far.

Better get some crayons, wrapping paper, labels and sellotape.

Sometimes I forget which Aldi I am in, the two local ones I use are very similar in layout, except for the nuts/crisps which is most odd - oh and one of them has doors on the refrigerators and the other doesn't

Mine looked terrible, on the first attempt I was doing all capitals 😆

Now he says! I could have lent you a book 'the Pan book of Letter Writing' (price 3/6 or 17.5p in new money) - might have been some useful tips in there!

The Ladybird book Learnabout Handwriting might come in useful too! Original price 30p, a snip at £3.50!!!

(I found a box of my Ladybird books in the loft, I might have a copy...)

I was wearing rubber gloves whilst typing, they can't pass through rubber.

Rubber gloves are less than half the answer, you should have been wearing mirror shades and a tinfoil hat for complete prophylaxis...

Oh no, I am done for.

Might explain my sudden need to get Prime

One Christmas day the door fell off the oven as the meal was being pulled out - broken hinge.

Looked for a replacement - no luck, so Boxing Day I was on the lathe - made a new hinge. Lots of Brownie points!

Call them Sunak and Johnson. They are not your mates worthy of first name use!

other names are available...

It's always possible that some of these names might be repeatable.

Well, they might. I'm not saying that they will be ... .

Was it the same petrol station both times?

@Nick C Yes, poured from pump straight into the bin

Perhaps they overfilled the first time and came back to make up the discrepancy?

Few on York ROC Cam yesterday. 

Severn Valley Railway Cams usually have a bundle as well but CBA to check.

rmweb is quite fast- funny that  

Nyet, comrade.

Best car I ever had a Vauxhall Chevette Estate in the 1980`s.
