  1. So you only need to buy another 25,999,999,998 and we're back in the black with our trade deals! 🥳
  2. On the topic of the Cheese Woman. Courtesy of Private Eye's "Number Crunching": £26bn Annual UK trade with Canada, with whom talks (after expiry of a deal on EU terms) collapsed last week, leaving tariffs of 245% on UK cheese exports. 0 Times Brexit cheerleader Liz Truss has said ‘This is a disgrace’ since announcement.
  3. https://www.toolstation.com/minotaur-automatic-wire-stripper/p30586 I previously used strippers like the ones Neil posted but bought a pair of these a few years ago, albeit from a different source (eBay). Difficult to imagine stripping wire more easily. (Same as DCCConcepts but cheaper.)
  4. I believe Brasil has already moved troops to the border as a precaution.
  5. A DJH U1. In need of a little fettling and requires a little additional detailing.
  6. Good news but I can't help wondering why Mr Bentley's insurance company aren't doing all that? Which raises further questions. Will the repairs come complete with a certificate proving they have been completed to the correct standard? Does Mr Bentley have insurance? If he does then it is usually one of the conditions that they are informed of a collision even if a claim isn't made. Did Tom receive details of the other driver's insurer? Has Tom informed his own insurer?

    That cistern must provide a powerful flush.
  8. Clive James once described it as "a restaurant frequented by theatre goers".
  9. I must be missing something here. Is there a reason why you would use a hole saw when you only need a hole a few millimetres in diameter? I would use a standard brad wood drill bit for drilling from below, i.e. the kind with a tiny central point that allows for precise positioning before starting to drill.
  10. It would be possible to drill a very small hole from above using the hole in the tie bar as a guide but this would need to be done very carefully in order to keep the drill vertical and not snap it. You could then use the hole to centre a larger drill from below, taking care not to drill too far up, i.e. just break through the surface. It would be best to temporarily hold the tie bar in the centre of the track when drilling from abaove or allow for it being off centre when drilling from below. A variation on the above would be two holes, one either side of the tie bar, then mark the centre point below before drilling. Have you considered operating the points from the side with the point motors mounted above or below the baseboard? There are surface mounted point motors and adapters available from a number of manufacturers.
  11. There may be hope for the future: "New YouGov polling puts support for the Conservatives among 18-24-year-olds at just one per cent." All that is needed now is get this age group to actually b***** vote! Mind you, as a counterbalance to this the popularity amongst the same age group of shallow reality TV, celebrity gossip instead of news and (American) fast food is concerning.
  12. I trust the meeting was well mannered.
  13. Hi John, Starting from the left. Where you have the straight track leading into long curves, use SL-E91s to begin the curves thereby starting the storage lines earlier. You will probably also need to replace each of the 3-way points with pairs of SL-E91s. Hope that helps.
