talisman56 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Been asking for an r-t-r Ninky Nonk for a while now...... ! OK, I have never had anything make me show my age before - do you believe that I actually had to Google that to see what it was?!?!?!?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted February 1, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 1, 2015 I had to Google it as well, it not only came up with the item concerned but wedding dresses and exercise machines as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Vistisen Posted February 1, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 1, 2015 This woman is a keeper I'll get me coat It's been many years since I went to a model railway exhibition (don't seem to have them in Denmark) but I seriously doubt that this young lady attends them. She isn't wearing a backpack. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
298 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 The Sounthend Pier Museum (mostly stuff of the railway) used to be very hot on not taking your own photos. Selling their own postcards was apparently their main means of providing sufficient income for them to stay open. Must be an Essex thing, there are signs at the Kelvenden Hatch Secret Nuclear Bunker (signposted from the A128 just outside Ongar) saying you need to buy a photography permit. I was going to sneek a photo of the yellow pages in the comms room turned to the Model Shops section, but thought better of it.... 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CKPR Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 (edited) I don't think even the Danish Scud-mag purveyours would stoop that low, the Fell is an obscenity deserving of a special place in hell I understand there are magazines catering for more, ahem, 'specialist' tastes - "'ere mate, you got any magazines of, ermm, you know, like weird stuff ? You know what I mean, prototypes, diesels, coupled wheels, crank shafts ?" Edited February 2, 2015 by CKPR Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andytrains Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 The 'Stick of Enlightenment' could be used rather than Lynching. As long as the user does not use un-reasonable force and does not injure him/herself as a consequence of use of the Stick.

SM42 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Apparently picking up an item on a trade stand marked up at £1.50 and asking "What's your best price on this?" can result in a rather unsociable response. Andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SM42 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Try finding anything at £1.50 on a trade stand these days! You're obviously looking at the wrong trade stands. OK £1.50 might be optimistic but sub £4.00 is quite common. Stil gets the same reaction though Andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
davknigh Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Just over 7 weeks till York show. Time to stop washing, no haircut, no shaving, no plucking monobrow, nose and ear hair. My pair of light beige cords and yellow polo neck had their annual wash the week before Christmas, so even though I wear them daily they'll do. Clarks Polyveldts have found their way to the front of the wardrobe - not difficult as I only possess two pairs of shoes, the others being slippers. My haversack is prepared, and I have already made some egg and tuna sandwiches to take round with me. Can't guarantee it but I have a piece of clingfilm, but not bothered if I can't find it, the filling can't go far. Thanks for the tip abut haggling, maybe some traders will accept a pound note just to get rid of me. Apologies if I have just described anyone who's a member of this forum!!! And you'll be taking public transport to get there? Cheers, David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidBird Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Conversation overheard at the Southampton show between a rather attractive woman and her husband while looking at one of the 'N' Gauge layouts, Wife : What about some thing like this, I'm sure we could do it, if we worked together ? Husband : Bit small though, we'd soon lose interest, and it looks really difficult to do Wife: it would good fun trying, and it's something we could do together Husband wanders off Wife looks at me, and says, sometimes I think I married the wrong man.... you like model railways... are you married ? I've had a girl/woman want me for money before, but never my trains ! I'm now wondering/hoping they're she's going to ModelRail Scotland... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
