  1. Wow, what's happened to this place? Pop up ads everywhere that I guess no one needs. Really awful.

      Thanks, Ian.

       

      I have heard friends mention this browser before, will give it a try.

      On Brave now, problem solved. Thank you very much.

      Glad it helped. You'll also find that watching YouTube is vastly improved, as there are no adverts to interrupt ...

  2. Got anew spell checker thing. So everything I say should make sense from now on.

      Yeah, it’s a pity there isn’t a context checker as well as a spell checker. That might help pick up using a correctly-spelled word that isn’t actually the one you want, like my “singed” instead of “signed” above.  
      I blame the English language for having a spelling system that doesn’t correspond very well to the sounds of the language.

      Yes. My particular bête noir is 'form' instead of 'from'.

      The English Language will get around to it eventually, consider Chaucers "Canterbury Tales" and anything from Shakespeare.

       

      Mind you, I think the prologue from the "tales" is pretty understandable, even now...  ;)

       

      Whan that Aprill, with his shoures soote
      The droghte of March hath perced to the roote
      And bathed every veyne in swich licour,
      Of which vertu engendred is the flour;
      Whan Zephirus eek with his sweete breeth
      Inspired hath in every holt and heeth
      The tendre croppes, and the yonge sonne
      Hath in the Ram his halfe cours yronne,
      And smale foweles maken melodye,
      That slepen al the nyght with open eye
      (So priketh hem Nature in hir corages);
      Thanne longen folk to goon on pilgrimages
      And palmeres for to seken straunge strondes
      To ferne halwes, kowthe in sondry londes;
      And specially from every shires ende
      Of Engelond, to Caunterbury they wende,
      The hooly blisful martir for to seke
      That hem hath holpen, whan that they were seeke.

      Little known fact, that the hooters had a model of Philadelphia in 00-sf, sometime in the 80s.

  4. I have been toying with the idea of starting an 0 gauge layout for some time now, today I pre ordered the new Lionheart 3MT 82030.

    Planning on doing the classic Inglenook Sidings Alan Wright 5-3-3 using Dapol late crest wagons, plan to use Peco bullhead track and turnouts.

    Hoping I can squeeze it into a 6 foot space.

     

    What have I started?

     

    Will start a thread about it next year.

     

    Take care.
