MrWolf Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 I've no idea why they refer to it as a "sharp scratch", it's more like a gentle stabbing. Been stabbed. Twice. Didn't like it. No, it wasn't by Miss R, she came with some official LMHT paperwork that says she's perfectly safe unless provoked. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's right about one thing - it certainly is a "neverwazza". Also a "nevershoulda" and a "WTFa". That North British were the class 16 rather than 15 is essentially moot. Speaking as the former owner of a depressingly large quantity of Lima O, I can state with some certainty that there is no universe in which anything based on a Lima 33, let alone that, is worth £140. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can vaguely remember my Grandad had quite a bit of Limo O gauge. Then one day when we went round it was all gone. He had sold it to buy a pair of Hornby tinplate Orient Express coaches.

But a large number wouldn't know a thing about medicine. At a previous job someone pointed out that a particular doctor, should get a priority service, due to the title. Until someone pointed out that this individual 'doctor' was actually a doctor of music and so deserved no priority at all! and to make it more confusing, many top consultants don't use the title "Dr" anyway, and revert to "Mr"... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Hodgson Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 Yes and no. As I understood it surgery used to be practised by "barber surgeons", who hadn't been to university (think period drama ship's captains amputating wounded sailors' legs). So surgeons were plain Mr as they weren't entitled to call themselves Dr. I think some of the very senior surgeons actually now prefer to be called Dr than Mr. And some prefer Prof. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hacksworth_Sidings Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 (edited) Well… THIS is f@ck1ng confusing. The other week I ordered some replacement Triang wheel bushes for a couple projects, today I wake up, check my emails, and see THIS. Apparently I complained about these* not arriving in a box??? I’ve ordered from this seller before and was always expecting the padded paper envelope (which is what they came in, both this time and the first time I ordered from him). I’m curious as to if he has the wrong guy, if eBay had a cockup and sent him the feedback I sent on the GraFar 8100 from earlier this month, or if I’ve been sleep-typing. Either way, I can’t even explain my side of the story since he’s blocked me from purchasing from his store and seemingly from contacting him too, nice going, &r5ew1pe! Seller also made a comment about how I should take my business elsewhere in that message, implying he has the best deal on Triang insulating bushes, and you know what? Peter’s Spares is only a quid more, for the same part and quantity, maybe I’m comfortable with buying the more expensive ones, at least I know he’s not likely to call me out on stuff I simply didn’t do. I’ve checked “glass_by_jojo”’s feedback and yes, some people have complained about “insufficient packaging” (though likely about the glass he sells), but not a single one was me! *The listing in question which I bought them from: Edited May 21 by Hacksworth_Sidings 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
