    Samosas and RMweb - an excellent combo.

    Nice to see images now appear in the Activity Streams, it highlights the modelling in threads I never knew existed.

    Must be some indigenous ritual. I'd better leave them to it.

    Korean bot or message from outer space?

      Thought I'd got rid of that spam about an hour ago. Are you still seeing it?

    3. Mikkel

      Mikkel

      No, I kept it in case you needed it when you woke up. But you were up early! Thanks for getting rid of it, although I'm still wondering if it was really a message from Mars giving us next week's lottery numbers.

      ..even slower going... even if I'm no good at making them and even though I'd prefer to scratchbuild everything.  Every little helps (or was that groceries).

      I just saw a "woke" advert for the New York Times where they were trying to "cancel" J K Rowling. "Imagine Harry Potter without its author." She's wealthy enough not to give a stuff, thankfully!

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

      RMweb phrases that could work on a T-shirt:

      "Load more content"

      There must be lots of RMweb sources for T-shirt slogans. You should start a main thread.

       

      Another contender, maybe:

       

      "Being Investigated"

      "Gold Member".

    Sorry if this has been asked before, but to save me going to the top of the page, can anyone tell me if this is RMweb?

      "I hope not." - but I wouldn't be surprised.

      On a serious note, we wonder why nothing ever gets done at council level and you see this bunch of idiots arguing over whether having a meeting is legal or not.

       

      Maybe if you all just talked to one another in a sane less pompous manner you might actually get things done.

       

      I imagine it gets marginally better as you go up the scale from Parish council to Government.

       

      Back on topic, that chap is the chair of the scale committee, his mate is in charge of the gauge committee and they both excel in pedantry.

      better be careful here... Prince Philip got into trouble due to a comment about Eastern facial features., but the Goons got away with the "Ying Tong" song.

      Fortunately, I don't think Prince Philip is a member of RMWeb (unless he's got the rumoured 'Platinum' membership), but the Forum has got its fair share of goons......

      SHMD asked 

      "Why have we changed from Chinese to Japanese?"

      Mea culpa, I didn't look hard enough, plus I really liked the word hobākurafuto, in the same way as I like the American actor/director Kurinto Isutouddu

      Is that a quote from Thing in the Bromeliad Trilogy, Mikkel? It seems familiar, but I can't find it.

    4. Mikkel

      Mikkel

      No I was just paraphrasing an automated message that sometimes appears on here. Thanks for pointing to the Bromeliad Trilogy though!

      Interesting too that horseboxes were used for parcels at that time. Or something fishy was going on :-)

      I'm surprised that Dickens was so forgiving to any railway after Staplehurst!  I suppose he must have been doing some extra nerve-steadying in the run up to Christmas....

      Thanks, It’s Highland Railway (sort of). I’m working on a small On16.5 layout slowly. Hope to start a thread in a month or two.
