    And leave thinking intelligent life doesn't exist on Earth.
  4. https://www.skysports.com/f1/news/12433/13045181/guenther-steiner-haas-team-principal-leaves-ahead-of-2024-f1-season-as-ayao-komatsu-named-as-replacement Guenther Steiner to leave Haas. Real shame, a proper character.
  5. Excited by Locomotion and it will be my first Hornby purchase in several years.
  6. Managed to get one last order in for old times sake last night. I will miss the regular Tuesday email for OO items. Even the Wife was shocked 😲
  7. Gobsmacked and stunned! Most of my stock from 2004 onward is from Hattons. Best wishes to the staff.
  8. Has the crash test dummy, I mean Max been out in it already!
  9. 1. Get a long overdue payrise. 2. Repeat 1 until a successful outcome is achieved. 3. Repeat 1 & 2 in 2025!
  10. Well it's almost 2024. Let's hope 🤣 for a more keenly fought championship.
  11. Constant Bleeting Egotist
  12. I have and had back background checks carried out prior to starting my apprenticeship. They even sent a a "special policeman" to interview one of the guys who supplied a reference. We also used to get spot checks at the gate by the Civil Nuclear Constabulary. We also had several hoax bomb threats that had people out of cars and mirrors underneath before entering site. More recently some travellers set up camp, but they were gone in in less than a morning. Your not going to argue with armed Police.

  16. @Tom F showed your work to the Wife and not for the first time she asked have we been on that. A work of art.

    Pepper seems to have a bit of a cold. She is curled up on top of the sofa looking rather sorry for herself. I took pity on her, covered her up and supplied some bacon from my sandwich.
  18. I knew of him via Peaky Blinders, but didn't know of his other work. 65 is no age.
  19. Sounds like the wire might be Aluminium or maybe stainless steel. If it was mild steel you might have stood a chance. I used to soft solder stainless steel on a daily basis and the flux is very aggressive, but good. It doesn't burn or blacken like plumbing flux. Once that happens it's time to give up and start again.
  20. Drunk again at the prize giving was he! My eldest tells me Lewis also left his third place trophy behind in protest over the F1/FIA Wolff debacle.
