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

      particularly if you run out of glue or any other necessary supplies....

      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"

  2. "Left 5, don't cut. Be brave". What a pace note :-)

      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

  3. 12CSVT is very much on my mind!

  4. 12CSVT x2. Bathampton. Magic

      Jo,you are good on the computer,just supposing you designed a virtual, shall we say class 08, with a virtual motor on a virtual track

      powered by 12v DC and ran it out through the USB port. No ? Just a thought !

  6. 40903. Seat 7. Weekend first upgrade. Home from London in comfort :-D

      Don't pinch the antimacassars when you get off, mind!!

      I didn't! Home and dry, was on 1C21 16.03 Padd - Temple Meads. Leg room...what a luxury :-D

    3. Captain Kernow

      Captain Kernow

      Pssst! Don't let on, but there are a pair on seats on Arriva 158s, as well, which give the long-legged a bit of decent leg room - down the aisle near the luggage racks!

  7. 50008 was a nice bonus to today's Tug chasing

  8. 56302 + steel train +sunny sky with fluffy clouds = top stuff :-)

  9. 56302 on Westbury - Bescot. More please Colas :-D

  10. 59 - 66 - 59 on shed at work last night. Thorn between two roses?

  11. 60074 was on fine form this morning, sounded excellent. Two tugs in two weeks on the Mendips - what is the world coming to? :-p

  12. 70008 sounded ace powering up at Thingley Jn

    1. Worsdell forever

      Worsdell forever

      Black Prince? but wasn't it scrapped in January 1967?

  13. 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.

  14. 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

      Steadfast

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

  15. 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!

    1. Captain Kernow

      Captain Kernow

      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.

  16. 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.

  17. Anyone else out there play racing games? Am I the only one who really hates reverse versions of real tracks?

      Gran Turismo 5, yes I still play it! It's way better than GT6

      Good man!

  18. Bags are packed ready for TINGS, finally decided what to demo about half 5 this evening...

  19. Best doughnuts ever eaten today. Every Sunday is a market outside the former Swindon works shopping centre featuring local produce. Pippins doughnuts. Mmmmmmmmmmmm

  20. 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

      A major reduction in Christmas stress.

      Don't forget the family gathering for additional stress!

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

  21. Big Smiles - F1 2010 is out for Xbox on my birthday

  22. BTCC cars in Forza 6...whaaaaaaat!! So cool!

  23. Can I beat tug 71 to Fariwood Jnc?

    1. beast66606

      beast66606

      Where is Fariwood Jcn ? - try Fairwood its closer :P

    2. Steadfast

      So it is Dave! :-o

      Anyway the rushed typing was worth it - piccy later

  24. can't believe Ford are trying to sue Ferrari over the name F150...so the car is now called the F150th Italia...Ridiculous!

    1. mozzer models

      mozzer models

      there have changed the name after ford sued

      Woukd you be saying the same if ford bring out a new BIG FOOT & call it a Enzo

    2. Steadfast

      Steadfast

      Ah but F150 is only a number. Well, with a letter. If I was Ferrari's lawyer I'd pointing out the difference between F150 and F-150... Anywho, the name is changed, from now on it's the F150th Italia. Still reckon it sounds a bit odd, probably sounds better in Italian :-D

    3. Horsetan

      This type of thing has been going on for years. Porsche's original 911 was originally the 901 but they couldn't use it because Peugeot had registered the use of the central zero for all of their then current and future models.

  25. Cantrail striping...once you start you just can't stop...

    1. Rods_of_Revolution

      Rods_of_Revolution

      Should I expect you to have a cantrail stripe across your forhead when I next see you?

    2. Steadfast

      There are bits stuck to my hands now, so I could have already without knowing...
