  1. How many times does it needed to be repeated that things are done for TV? It'll be the second Monday.
  2. Making such banal statements means that there's no credence to your other opinions.
  3. Statistical evidence from Google Analytics shows little difference in traffic levels. You seem to be keen on being negative about it and we are working on the ad-free solution still (and I hope you take that option up) but in the meantime those annoying ads are paying for you and everyone else to use the site free of charge.
  4. In N maybe but certainly not OO.
  5. It's a few weeks since I've spoken to him but he's OK. He's had quite a lot on his plate and some tech issues. He is down at Gaydon show this weekend with his lovely little 009 layout.
  6. The side elevation shots are taken against a white background and it's far less prominent when on a layout and viewed from normal angles. There is some adjustment, one thing that hinders movement far fmore are the cab doors, if fitted.
  7. I'd installed similar in a kitchen with the same annoying results. I noticed that there was more heat build-up around the connector sockets than you'd expect. This tallies with the observed blackening. When we moved I put LEDs in and none have failed so far in 4 years.
  8. You've been taking a sneaky look at 'my' pole!! How very dare you? A salutary lesson there about posting pictures of your pole on the internet, it may come back to haunt you.
  9. I completely agree that there is an absence of any real leadership or role modelling and the populace is generally left to make everything up for themselves now and pick and choose what they want which is why we are where we are.
  10. I'd best not post any images of its magnificence and unusual attributes then.
  11. Undoubtedly politics come into the equation in here and Nearholmer has adequately summarised a framework for it. Most people aren't particularly partisan and the criticisms would be levelled at whoever the government was at that point in time. None of us know where the leader of the opposition contracted it from; his local pub, one of the many palace of Westminster bars, a member from the opposite benches (they do talk) etc? I've had people accuse me of political bias through these topics - just for the record I have never voted Labour but there are some within that party that I respect immensely and there are decisions made by the government (that I didn't vote for last time) that I vehemently disagree with. I'm centrist and with an interest in what a candidate can do for a constituency as much as they can whilst having voting powers. Across all parties I respect conviction politics and do not like political opportunism, whatever the colour.
  12. It would still be lost on some! (Fully paid up TPAS member having had 'Pole of the Month' once - pleased me more than a lot of stuff I have in the mags).
  13. All retail models will have disc wheels.
  14. I can wholeheartedly sympathise. The most bizarre incident I had was with an Australian retailer stealing one of my pics of a pre-production livery sample of a product for use for their eBay store to try and take orders before the item was even released. I asked for it to be removed and they complained to Warners saying that they would sue for me trying to damage their business; timewasters as well as being legally very dubious.
  15. Could we settle on cheese scones? I luv'em.
  16. That's irrelevant. Copyright still applies, the problem was a track record of him not respecting anyone's copyright; I chose to stop him doing it here.
  17. Well if you do exactly the same thing why would you think you'd get a different response. As Robert has said there's an existing topic and all you've done is cause unnecessary work to make exactly the same point as has already been done over and over.
  18. Everything past Gordano services is holiday territory.
  19. If someone else is making it I shall not argue.
  20. No, any manufacturers' images used on stockists websites are provided by the manufacturers for that purpose; not to help yourself to. There is no difference, all material has a creator or owner. Offering to remove something does not exonerate you. 'fair use' is a oft-wafted fallacy by those who think they know something whereas it has specific meaning - spend some time looking into it rather than using it incorrectly. Any material, text or images, is automatically the copyright of the creator or owner and it's the same as helping yourself to something that isn't yours. Your call but I don't like martyrs trying to make out they're hard done by when they do something they've already been told not to do.
