I think Andy's struggling with 1 chair, 'some' might just be too much !

Just couple the chairs together.

This Update is turning into a Topic!

Cut a rectangular piece out of the trim, solve the mechanism problem, open the door, remove rest of trim and use double sided tape to fix the trim back with a reinforcing piece behind.

Skipepsi - that is exactly my plan. SWMBO was in bed today after her night shift, so I opted not to make a start to keep the cursing & swearing to a minimum...

If the mechanism is beyond repair/ parts missing then plan b and baler twine is required...

TARDIS Blue Class 47?

Wallet opens, King blinks at seeing daylight !!

Wallet opens, Caesar blinks at seeing daylight!!!

Is that not what we do every day, though?

haircut for me too.

I'll be working it, like I do every weekend.

I'd wish you luck but you don't need it. I've been considering a bespoke lamp-hut... Best, Tony.

I did NOT press three times! lol

Well, the prezzy turns out to be a low temp Stirling Engine.

It sits on top of my coffee and 'chugs' away!

I got some paints, a shirt, chocolate, credit on my Kernow account and a Dad's music CD set ( background music whilst modelling). Birthday within a fortnight - what else do I want ???

..more of those kids by the sound of it!

Have a great day, Stu, and remember, it's the unplanned purchases that give the most fun!!

Happy Birthday Stu are you going to build a mini layout in the 45xx though?

Thanks all ! I'm now the proud owner of 5513 (4575 class of which 5514 was based at Truro in the correct time frame), a second Dapol GWR Home signal and a pair of Dapol wagons - a GWR Ale wagon and a 4 plank with wood load.

All of these will be appearing on Shepherds Halt in the near future...

Reminds me I once read in a book something like: 'I helped the neighbour fix several loose slates. My son said it was a futile gesture...'

Aha, Petethemole got it !

anyone for a pint?

Just disappear, hopeful you will come home to a rapturous return.....or death!

Whoo-hoo !!! Got my pass-out for the weekend - Donny here I come !!

Hope to be there to see your BCB building efforts

clicked in to Fetish mode.

Do you want me to bring a small dinghy and some sails? The Tone is a bit narrow and shallow mind you!

Both items are for use within the hall on Sunday...

Been there done that a few years back. Welcome to the old gits club! you can say it was not like this in the old days etc.

Hippo Birdbath, Stu

Thanks all 'n' Happy Birthday to Muz too

Just had a new clutch at 155k, so should see a few more miles yet.

I'd say 3 points for the borrowing and +1 for the colour!

You should have bought here a sidecar...

Not with the gannets in this office !!

Sweets are safe in my office......biscuits...now that's another thing....

When all the points were added up, I was joint winner

A visit to the old engine shed at the Snailbeach Railway is pretty evocative, even in the rain

Depending on your direction of travel,have a look in at Oswestry station?

Umbrella shop.

Filing for divorce ?

Spending (a lot) more time at the pub?

My colleague finds these status updates about matrimonial interplay very interesting. If it gets any worse, she's always available to help.... *kof*

Big enough for a scale toilet.

It beats trying to park and visit a real one !

How about a rail served granary? (No fish Smell)and in reality only 50 yard from one of Britains shortest railways. Only about 60 yards long.

Ah go on go on go on go on.

Nope, I chickened out...

Oh you should have!

Trust me, Tim, you really don't want me to build this !!

Will it be outdoors?

Just dumped one!

I'm not building lots of things too. Some of them might not get built sooner rather than later

The things I'm not building fill most of my drawers and two shelves.

yes, I too have a sizeable maturing cabinet(s)...

Well done Stu, that's a great achievement, I did my 100 two years ago, I started by giving whole blood at 18, then went onto donating plasma cells, used to go every 2 weeks, it was a great skive off work whilst giving a precious donation for life, I have now enrolled my Wife and Son into it over the last couple of years #givelifegiveblood

I've got my third coming up on Friday :-)

Well done! They won't take mine. Well apart from Sisters Drac's little helper....

If you don't get it right, it could drive you round the bend

When are you going to take the plunge®?

A vacuum one, Stubby? My sympathies if so

You are a very silly man, thankfully

You been speaking to SWMBO ?

Has it got special pockets so you can carry yard lengths of track horizontally?

OXO

Used to get called 'Turnip Stu' at school...

fell off what ? chair, table or keyboard maybe...

more like fell over, don't bother fitting a motor

Fell...off the back of a lorry.

SiL plays in goal, I just stood at the back as sweeper

Good strategy. Brush the opposition aside every time.

AS the Father of two younger daughters I look up for inspiration as how to care for future boyfriends / son in laws ;-)
