  1. Just looking at my bread wrapper. It claims the bread is "Super Seeded". Does this mean it's been replaced?

      It's all a bit half-baked, if you ask me...

  2. It's just stopped raining over here in Wrexham/Chester. Feel sorry for the lads and lassies running Steel Steam and Stars this week they've had a wettun'. Hope it all went OK.

  3. Has just downloaded Draftsight. Given a year or ten I may learn how to use it!!

  4. thinks the only way he'll get the brass etch bits how he really wants is to learn how to use a CAD program and get them etched.

      If you can find a friendly CAD operator, then that's a good first step.

      Always tough, I still remember the sad day I had to make a tough "Monty Dog" (my Jack Russell) decision.

  13. Happy bunny. Hornby replaced my 3 matt black tins of Humbrol with new ones. Seem to be a better mix.and sorted quickly!

  14. wishes people would attach pics to their posts rather than using pic websites...Can't see them at work!!!

  15. Nearly finished my last 12 hour night shift (for now) 8 days off. Think I'll have a beer when I get home!!

      Humbrol does appear to have deteriorated since Hornby acquired the company. Havig used it since 1962, I notice the difference.

      the very same happened to mine, sort of dried felt all rubbery, took ages to clean off and the tin, recycled to tinlet heaven
