    One more thing to add to Andy's message. Don't slice your thumb up with a scalpel whilst staying in!

      Still, I suppose a scalpel might be slightly better than a stapler.

       

      Certainly would have been in my case - trying to use one to assemble a paper model when I was in junior school was the second worst mistake of my life - put my left thumb out of use for a few days, just before I was taught to do "joined-up" handwriting in school. (Well, at least that was the theory ... .)

       

      As for the worst mistake of my life - that was once my thumb had healed up - taking notice when my teacher said to me: "You can write with your right hand, Huw. Carry on"

    50008 was a nice bonus to today's Tug chasing

    So who knew Ricketty Cricket wasn't actually called Cricket :-o

    Had a letter arrive at work today, addressed to me from the union. Apparently I work for TLF South East!

    And tonight's gourmet railway meal fresh from the microwave...uncle Ben's rice and Tesco BBQ chicken, the chicken packet forming a handy bowl. Who ever said I wasn't creative in the kitchen?

      did you get shouty whilst preparing it. You know, "I've asked you three times to pass me the salt, do you want me to f#####g fax that message to you?"

       

      I bought a house with a chef once - I ran away and let her keep it.

    has had the brainwave and realised that weird little cutout on a class 60 cab side is a handrail and the top of the plough is a step. Neat design Brush!

    Really enjoyed the open day at SPM for the HST 40th today. Brilliant day out

      Impreza or mini for me. Or the Quattro for those mad moments! The sound recordings on this game seem to have kicked up a notch

  12. Steadfast

    Smacked the top of my knee on the top step of a 66 again last night! I'm sure I'm not the only one who's done it! Flipping hurts!

  13. Steadfast

    First snow of the year today, the Mendips had a light dusting and stayed most of the day. Never known a brake stick freeze to the floor before!

    Best quote I've heard about being single at Christmas (in a strong Somerset accent...)"well, at least you ain't gotta buy she a prize!" Priceless

      Stress free Christmas. All the family pressies bought and wrapped. Oh and the first Christmas since I stopped working in retail :-D

  17. Steadfast

    Finished for Christmas. My first Christmas since I left retail...bliss!

  18. Steadfast

    Coincidence that googling Windows and android product reviews seem to cause iPad safari to crash even more often than usual? Definitely sourcing a replacement post Christmas, I've had enough of this "premium" product, sorry pile of junk that makes me look illiterate because it types what it thinks I want, not what I know I want

      I keep knocking W10 back. Suspicious of anything that they're pushing as hard as that...

      Safari used to be good but seems like Apple just don't care about it unless you're running factory fresh iOS

      Seen similar Win10 problems on a relatives laptop. The backout from Win 10 is not clean and leaves a number of internals that cause problems in task management: e.g Windows backup. On my own machine I will not install Windows 10 until the first service pack is released.

    Actually just tried to type 'trjc' on realtime trains. I'm tired, ok? :-D a train lookup feature like that would make it easier to use though!

      At least it doesn't care whether it's upper or lower case, unlike IMACS! Plus you don't get frequent phone calls from ATOS telling you you've run a report that has crashed the whole system!

    3. Steadfast

      Nope never had a phone call from ATOS! Keep pressing F2 to refresh the internet though!

    A problem occurred with this web page so it was reloaded. If I read that one more time from the fruit based piece of junk I'm typing this on then it might take a one way trip out the window. I'm glad I don't have to put up with this mess on a phone. Time to look for a new Windows or Android tablet I think

      That bite missing out of the Apple, that's the bit that made the rest of the Apple work.

      I suppose by leaving the "bite" out, it makes the remaining Apple go rotten more quickly.

  21. Steadfast

    Today's iPad auto correct...condition became choose edition. Ah don't ya just love technology. People may moan about Microsoft, but at least I don't suffer this frustration with their kit

  22. Steadfast

    All these long services people mention. 25 years. 40 years. Even more! I've just notched up 6 months on the railway and it's flown by!

      Well done! You'll find that the next 24 and a half years will also fly by. Best of luck to you with your railway career, it's still a good choice.
