RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted October 23, 2019 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted October 23, 2019 The dogs do let us know when Gavin the postie is coming down the drive. A previous Labrador, Roger, never barked at the postman but you knew he had been. Roger use to sleep in the hallway and when the post was pushed through the letter box he would walk into the living room with a face that said "That bloke is throwing things at me again". Roger the Dog and Gus the Gundog. 10 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallpaul69 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Got no horses, nor dogs, and had to have the old cat put down 5 years ago! Nearest we get to live animals these days is watching the Yorkshire Vet. Still once the layout is built there will be a hillside to populate with animals and a farm, and the Hornby sound van will give us some background. Meanwhile, back to sorting the Lima bits and bobs for the future cut and shuts. Cheers Paul 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted October 23, 2019 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted October 23, 2019 (edited) My computer chair is broken. At the top of the lower part that holds me up in the air is a plastic ring, well it is now a horse shoe shaped bit of plastic giving no support and me chair has gone all wibbly wobbly. I could become sea sick when I nod off to sleep in it. Must be too much bopping about to world wide rock 'n' roll.

Mike. Just for you Mike some Spanish rock and roll as you didn't like the Russian music. I have found a great Russian Ska band but I think it would be a thumbs down from you lot. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Enterprisingwestern Posted October 23, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 23, 2019 My old music teacher in my comprehensive school days, said that when you get to appreciating music properly you will know whether you will like a piece of music upon hearing the first note, little did she know in later life I would meet someone who could save me one note.

(IMRSIRWIL) I am currently investigating "odd but factual" and "no proof but might have been/I like" formations for my 1960s DMUs on the WR line from Paddington and the High Wycombe branch. I think however that 4 /5 cars is my limit other wise they look unrealistic in my 15 ft of scenic space! Would be great to see some pics when you have time?

It is simple , if you don't like 'em don't buy 'em. They may be suitable for modification, then that will please the modellers. Otherwise they will please can't do, won't do and that will do brigade. So what is the issue? 2 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
