  1. after 3 weeks of constant coughing and dizziness realises it's maybe time to have a few days off sick. I'll be mourning the loss of a 12 hour Sunday night shift though...

      Doc said left lung quite noisy, right one not so bad. Oxy test showed 99% and I'm now on much stronger A/Bs as he's pretty sure its bacterial rather than a virus. Chest X-ray booked on Monday too. Must be feeling a little better as I'm contemplating some modelling tonight...

      Thanks for concern, much appreciated!

  2. After finishing my 7th and final nightshift this week, I'm currently contemplating the prospect of an ale for breakfast when I get home in the morning.

      Which 5 is this? Grand sounding whistle though, but it needs to be on something bigger and dare I say more impressive than a Hiker.

      Sounds fantastic. Just imagine you're in the welsh mountains and something 2ft gauge is belting round the scenary

       

  6. An O gauge show on me doorstep and I'm going to miss it as I'm working on Sunday. Hmph..

      It's a 12 hour Sunday, way too expensive to give up as I don't get paid for it if I give it up. Any weekday or saturday turn, paid leave or sick pay...wouldn't give it a 2nd thought!!

  7. and todays earworm (for me anyway) is Come on feel the noize by Slade...

      According to the official material, it's "C.um On Feel The Noize". I read somewhere that Slade's trademark was to deliberately misspell the titles of all their songs, hence "Goodbuy To Jane", "I Won't Let It Happen Agen", etc...

      I thought it better to spell the first word correctly rather than run the risk of arrest by the spelling police!

      It's a bit like Didcot a couple of weeks back - the Diesels attempted to come back but they soon left again...

      These things are just sent to keep us on our toes.

  18. As well as signals, I now have quite a few random 7mm kits to build. Does RMW need another 7mm thread or shall I just get on with them?

    1. Pugsley

      Pugsley

      It always needs more 7mm threads!
