  1. I see the druids and would-be druids have been out in force this morning - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-wiltshire-65970567

  2. I think I've been infected by something originating in the East, because I've found another LNER loco that I quite like.

      Could be worse, could be one of those wierdly numbered Southern locos - such as 2C0V1D...

      Oh, Only Connect is the best, but not strictly a straight Q & A show.  At least no-one has mentioned House of Games...

      You actually spend time watching this ???

       

      Mastermind, University Challenge, The Chase - lots of questions with very little faffing about.

      Eggheads, Tipping Point, Pointless, Money Bags - all style over substance.

      Possibly.

      Are you looking in the mirror on your own ?

  10. What does the panel think of using swede (that'll be neep to viewers up top, but who cares as they're rutabagas anyway) in a veg curry?

     

    The Mrs has gone off to meet her daughter in Malta for 10 days and left loads of veg that isn't pies, sausages, white bread or chips and I'm bu99ered if I know what to do with it!

      Swede should be chopped into small cubes (less than 10mm), then boiled for about 15-20 mins until soft-ish, then immediately thrown in the bin.

       

      The most tasteless, cardboard-like veg I've ever had the misfortune to come across.

       

      Did Mrs D leave you a phone ? The best solution is Take-away.

  13. Am I grumpy because a) I've had a busy week, b) it's hot or c) there's some proper door handles here?

    1. Stubby47

      Stubby47

      You've had a busy week ?  Working front line NHS by any chance ?

      It's hot ? - No, it's pleasantly warm - hot is inside a volcano

      Door handles ? - It's your job to help out people on the forum

       

      Tch, the youth of today, eh, dunno they're born.....  ;)

  14. Users may experience incomplete layouts. Give it a few hours.

  15. I know - you ask a question and I'll spend an hour or so researching the answer for you, then you ignore my reply completely, at least  that stopped me wasting more time. From now on I won't be helping anyone who I don't know or has less than 1000 posts.

      On the plus side, you might have learnt something you didn't know before.

  18. I almost, almost thought about buying some 7mm track & a loco today. Was very close.

      I've 'done' O-16.5 ( Wheal Tiny, a 2 level pasty mine with working hoist), so was considering going the full hog and a Class 08 and a couple of wagons. But I came to my senses.

  19. Tell me why I don't like Mondays?

  20. A serious breakfast incident was recorded at Kernow Towers this morning, when a quantity of almond milk was discovered in the Captain's porridge.

     

    An investigation is now underway.

     

  21. I must stop building wagons, I must stop building wagons, I must stop building wagons....why? I have run out of DG coupling frets..

  22. Best wishes Muz on completing another lap.

  23. I love testing data - NOT

     

    So my colleague has written a new data extract and not only are there hundreds of thousands of records but also a ridiculous number of columns that all sound very similar.

     

    It's a great dataset, a development of an earlier one and before it gets unleashed I am testing it on some known extracts to check the results are the same.  Found an issue, very subtle, so subtle I didn't notice at first and thought perhaps it was a naming convention issue in a report.

     

    Anyway got to the bottom of it after searching through a lot of code and a few columns have been misaligned in a derived table.

     

    It reminded me of Andre Previn on Morecambe and Wise and Eric says "I'm playing all the right notes, but not necessarily in the right order"  In my case "I've got the right data, but not necessarily in the right order"  :lol:

      Sounds like what I do :)

  24. This is utter filth!
