  1. feels that if Cheryl wants any birthday cake, she should stop being so damn cryptic and tell Albert and Bernard EXACTLY when her birthday is, instead of playing silly riddles!

      If she's courting men called Albert and Bernard, she's probably far too old for me anyway ;)

      Horse or rope/cable would be far more interesting ;)

  6. Happy Birthday Mr Schrodinger - how's the cat ?

      Since cats have nine lives, it always seemed a strange choice of animal for his paradox ;)

      Why not set up a topic so we can see what problems yo have and give you friendly advice. May just be too big a soldering iron.

      Armchair Modeller

      Kilngons? Does that have something to do with the theft of pottery equipment?

  12. It's hard work being a Grimsby fan. So frustrating this afternoon!

      Without those great saves from your goalie, it would have been a thrashing. Not convinced about the Wrexham "penalty" though

  13. was halfway through writing a shopping list for ally pally, then checked the traders and none of them are there

      I am always suspicious of exhibitions where traders are called "exhibitors" and layouts are just "layouts"

  19. Thought of taking my copy of the 1863 Bradshaw with me on a train jpurney recently but realised that not only would I need to buy a brightly coloured shirt and jacket that don't match, I'd also have to master the knack of leaving the station on one train, travelling on a completely different one, and arriving at my destination on the one I got on in the first place!

      I have this crazy idea to do programmes about the regions of the UK, its people and traditions - but do 95% of the filming on the railways.

    1. Armchair Modeller

      Armchair Modeller

      Why are they called solebars when there are 2 of them - that's what I don't understand ;)
