  1. No-one has been playing games, please stop stirring Arran.
  2. Maybe the Slow Horses* have got a new base. *The best thing since Life on Mars.
  3. The website address has an interesting redirect. 😁
  4. In what way are statements of fact insulting?
  5. However, Rails have gone on to say they haven't taken ownership of the tooling.
  6. @SteveCole is up in Glasgow this weekend but should be back Tuesday.
  7. It didn't really; most were the last to sell and most discounted. A bit of a sad reflection of the how little some were prepared to do even 12-15 years ago effectively killing the idea off for good. O is a bit different though.
  8. Don't go reporting the posts of people you're arguing with and then quote them. It creates more work and you're being just as much of a PITA. Enough.
  9. During Plymouth Docks area evacuation yesterday I did think about the truck drivers and imagined them dressed like The Hurt Locker. That illusion was shattered when I saw a couple of blokes in boiler suits and caps putting strops round the bomb to lift it with a telehandler.
  10. New attraction in Miniatur Wunderland opens May.
  11. Possibly, I'd have to do some testing to see.
  12. Give it a bit of drain unblocking. Log out, clear any RMweb cookies from the browser, clear RMweb browsing history and log in afresh.
  13. That's the S7 hardliners; they grind flanges rather than axes.
  14. GCHQ will be sending a black chopper to pick you in 30 minutes.
  15. It does; but it's not a surprise to me in many ways as I'm able to say Richard is a friend as much as an industry contact. Many of our chats were outside work hours and not always about work or industry topics be it late night text message exchanges, Sunday or Bank Holiday chats, chats from all around the globe. Always exploratory and innovative with disarming honesty and frankness about matters, any conversation or meeting was memorable with tremendous likeability and the capacity to discuss alternative viewpoints without it ever being a disagreement. I respect who he is as much as what he achieved.
  16. Why? Is anything stopping you sending me a message (I detest the phrase 'inbox me') rather than asking me to send you a message?
  17. We have enough creepy and questionable people around who think they're cleverer than they actually are.
  18. There were always key points on journeys that you made sure you were hanging out of by the window for these moments. Seventies and Eighties Down the WCML on any excursion to the south coast and waiting at Mitre Bridge Junction to see if you'd got a 33 next. Approaching Colton Junction Challoners Whin from Church Fenton to spot the first Deltic of the day. Coming off the curve at Didcot to see the first HSTs of the day.
  19. Apologies; that was the inference I'd been left with - as well as making it roundy-roundy.
  20. It was taken on by the Alex half of Cavalex and is in the process of being re-gauged so don't hold your breath! 😁
