After all you don't want an argument on Monday over a van you never hired. 2 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots, even more so when one of the team who has a big flightcase tech production box with all the spres and repairs parts in that weights a lot and we can't lift it that high. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rubbed a gate leaving the club, fortunately there were years of thick black paint on it so no real damage. Stopped for 'T-Cut' along the way and spent a while in Germany making good. The Humbrol came up just right and found plenty of muddy puddles on the way home to 'weather it'. Fixed 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My rounds of the pub quiz for tomorrow night are now with the Quizmaster, a couple of videos edited for layout owners, my content for the layout topic prepared, the interviews I've done with the manufacturers this week are all prepared for Sunday and I'm up to date with the donations and ticket allocations.

Killybegs Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 It's just as well that Clinkerford now lives in Somerset, I don't think I'd get all those boxes in the little dinghy I've commandeered to cross this inconvenient stretch of water. It was bad enough circumnavigating all the Garda check points to get to the East Coast. I hope there won't be an unwelcome welcoming committee when I finally come ashore somewhere near Bridgewater. Now where's that baler, my feet are getting wet. 4 1 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
