      After installation don't forget to turn off all the privacy switches. That will stop your PC sending a lot of info to Microsoft although probably not all.

      Your data is probably already held by various hackers and the People's Liberation Army of China....

      Look at this site, http://www.slate.com/articles/technology/bitwise/2015/08/windows_10_privacy_problems_here_s_how_bad_they_are_and_how_to_plug_them.html, to find some of the more obscure locations to turn of privacy switches and keep the minimum amount of data going to Microsoft.

      I tried Pacers once and it gave me a headache. Prett ladies it'll have to be then. Smirk, smirk.

    1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10..... Well counting sheep doesn't work at 3.50am. I wonder if something railway related will do it.

      Get up and do something about it-like play trains. It's what I do.

    Blah, blah. Blah, blah. Blah, blah. Blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah, blah!!!!!!! That's better now I've got that off my mind.

    "Have you seen the refuse collectors?" "No. But follow the rubbish left on the floor and I'm sure you'll find them" I am now definitely sick and tired of all the cr*p our bin men leave behind them after the visit. It's simple. If you drop it PICK IT UP!!!!!!!!

      My observation is that a lot of folk simply let go of cans, bottles etc and gravity is to blame for their litter being on the footpath etc.

      I keeping saying to my missus that I'm going to send a bill yo the local council for doing there jobs for them. I've watched them load crap into the wagon & bits fall off, they see it & leave it.

      Andy, what's up with your locally elected Councillor?

      Get him/her on the job.

      Nice thought Highlandman, I second that. And having been a shop worker once, a thought is also spared for all them working it in whatever capacity.

  9. Highlandman

    Yeah! You get to meet some interesting, friendly and helpful people in the world of model railways. Thank you.

  10. Highlandman

    It's half term and son of Highlandman has a few days to rest before the second onslaught of his GCSE' s. Will all be glad when it's over.

  11. Highlandman

    Yeah!!! It's back :-)

      I thought it was just me not able to access all day, finished work at 10am as well, Grrr had to do more useful stuff instead....

  12. Highlandman

    Don't you just hate it when you take a picture of work you are doing and all it shows is the marks, errors and missed paint that you thought you had found.

      Ohhh Yes

    2. Indomitable026

      Indomitable026

      that happens all the time to me. I now use it to spot all the marks errors and missed paint!

  13. Highlandman

    Animating emoticon/icons is awkward and frustrating.

  14. Highlandman

    No railway stuff this Christmas but a great LOTR Extended blue-ray set and Battlefield 4 on the Xbox 360. It's been a good day so far.

  15. Highlandman

    Happy Christmas to everyone on RMweb. Have a great day.

    Why is it I never have enough money in the bank when a model railway show comes round. Things to buy, never enough to spend. :-(

    No modelling this weekend. London Sevens at Twickenham. So far there's been some great rugby. Hopefully the same again tomorrow.

      Does Erica Rowe still exist?

  19. Highlandman

    I really do hate it when online retailers can not be bothered to put product pictures on their sites. It's a bit like walking in to a shop and looking around with your eyes shut.

  20. Highlandman

    Did Dr. Beeching get it wrong. Interesting item on BBC website http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-21938349

      Michael Palin mentions the closure of the great central. It wasn't part of the beeching axe, He said it should be kept open.

    My modelling mojo keeps playing hide-and-seek, and I keep losing.

      Hang in there. Try to do little stuff. Nothing too taxing (or financially costly! :) ). Breathe. You're amongst friends. We understand. :)

    Oh the weather outside is frightful, But the fire is so delightful, And since we've no place to go, Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow.
