RMweb Premium eldavo Posted December 24, 2009 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 24, 2009 Morning All, Looks wet and horrid out there, not venturing out today. At least that's the plan. Looks like I may have to get my finger out and do some work on the trainset over the Christmas break as there is a possible (very) late booking for an outing in January!

RMweb Premium NGT6 1315 Posted December 24, 2009 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 24, 2009 at that stage the stockpile was 2000 tonnes, and the capacity of the hoppers was 6500 tonnes - hopefully the supervisor will have some explaining to do now, as the lack of grit caused a lot of problems also on the A683 which is a main road off the M6 across to the Pennines. Guess that sort of thing - sadly - happens when the powers-that-be revere only the Holy Budget rather than actual requirements... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed - it makes me wonder what the ??135 a month I give the council actually goes on - still, they're pretty good on social related issues and have just masses of workers covering that area of things - one wonders who sets the priorities??? Oh yes, and I pay ??810 a year to them for the honour of parking the car on one of their car parks which currently resemble a skating rink. A colleague parked in the street nearby the other day, her car slipped sideways with the road camber, and she then collected a ticket because she was not parked within the indicated bays and the ticket showed the reason as "car inconsiderately parked", Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted December 24, 2009 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 24, 2009 I had an uneventful trip round to the other side of London (near where the M25 joins the M40) today. Only excitement was some muppet driving a van (they overtook me as well) with the front nearside tyre missing driving on the rim. I've been cooking this afternoon making a starter (it is from Delia Smith's new book so it should work) for tomorrow. I was very glad to read that BoD's boiler was working now. At least the turkey should defrost in time for tomorrow. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Colin Posted December 25, 2009 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 25, 2009 Morning all, and a very happy and peaceful Christmas. I don't normally post on this thread but Jumble the cat decided on an early start (elderly felines can be most inconsiderate sometimes) so here I am. The cat woke our pooch up, so there was no chance of a lie-in after that! Anyway, a Bachy BR3MT arrived on shed today so the traditional Christmas morning running session will definitely go ahead.

RMweb Gold BoD Posted December 25, 2009 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 25, 2009 Merry Christmas one and all. I was a bit disappointed this year. All I got was a postcard through the door saying "Sorry, but you were out when we called ....." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Morning All, Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas wherever you are, and whatever you are doing. I must confess to feeling a little melancholic this morning - Christmas is after all a family time, and one third of mine is missing :icon_e_sad: Still, I have been sparing a thought for others. Those who are less fortunate than me, who are alone and out in the cold. Those who have no family with them, and don't have a goose roasting in the oven. May 2010 be filled with joy, happiness and modelling success for all of you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted December 25, 2009 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 25, 2009 MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL. Just been talking to my sister in Australia and they have been watching us stuggle in the snow. She is having to explain why we put salt on the roads!

RMweb Premium NGT6 1315 Posted December 25, 2009 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 25, 2009 Well, that's me in Leipzig now . Not much snow left, though - but windy it is. The goose we'll be having for dinner is in the oven already. Good thing to be on vacation, particularly after those exams! And merry Christmas once again to all who celebrate it on the 25th .

gordon s Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 Kids and old people everywhere.... Can't move for tripping over new pairs of slippers and bath gel. Kitchen worktop looks like an explosion in a chemists. Conversation is up about 10 decibels as various hearing aids have been left upstairs.... Eh.....? Seems to be the word for today... Managed to escape the breakfast melee for a few minutes. Second wave will arrive today and third tomorrow....Keep smiling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
