RMweb Gold gwrrob Posted October 16, 2013 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted October 16, 2013 If you truly paid in Sovereigns, Rob, you are clearly a man of substance, who has no need of the interest! Been watching old episodes of Minder with the great George Cole character of Arfur Daley. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted October 16, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 16, 2013 "Now is the winter of our discontent"? Perhaps a bit over the top - but literally discordant with a lot of RMweb posts regarding Hornby. (Of course it really means things are getting better, which we haven't seen yet.) If you have a look at the current 'Where are the Hornby Models?' thread you will see that '87029' has updated the list of expected arrival dates he posted a couple of weeks back, a number of items have 'slipped a bit' (although oddly, and happily, to report all of my outstanding 8 coupled tanks arrived on the originally forecast week although the list now shows them as arriving at a later date!).

Ozexpatriate Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 (edited) ... happily, to report all of my outstanding 8 coupled tanks arrived on the originally forecast week although the list now shows them as arriving at a later date!Yet still not the steadfast northern star appears and I'm not quite ready to say: Now is the winter of our discontent Made glorious summer by this sun of Margate; And all the clouds that lour'd upon our hobby In the deep bösom of the ocean buried. Now are our models run round our layouts; Our wearied typing declaring victory; Our stern alarums changed to merry meetings, Our dreadful rants to delightful measures.

Ozexpatriate Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 (edited) For anyone looking for references to "Lode Star" in Shakespeare, should anyone need this due to some bizarre set of circumstances.There is Sonnet 116,(Love) is the star to every wandering bark,Julius Caesar (Act III, Scene I)CASSIUS: But I am constant as the northern star,Midsummer Night's Dream (Act I, Scene I)HELENA: Your eyes are lode-stars; and your tongue's sweet air Edited October 17, 2013 by Ozexpatriate 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Ian Hargrave Posted October 17, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 17, 2013 'Let me not to the management of true deliveries find impediment'....corrupt version of Sonnet 116. By coincidence,we attended a performance at the RSC Swan Theatre yesterday evening.....not WS,however,but an adaptation of Voltaire's 'Candide' ..brilliantly rewritten by Mark Ravenhill....with stunning production ..again ..by RSC & ensemble. Also heard a performance of Sonnets there a while ago.......I digress,sorry. 'E lucevan le stelle....' ( Puccini )......we hope ( 'La Speranza '.....Turandot. ) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilwell Park Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Hi One should also remember the hymn by Isaac Watts which includes the lines " He formed the stars, those heavenly flames, He counts their numbers, calls their names ", and hopefully for the future " but saints are lovely in his sight".

I know I should be careful what I wish for, but a week later would suit the credit card better. You never know your luck! And you could aways ask them to hang on to it for a week couldn't you - or don't they work like that (probably a rhetorical question but most retailers I've ever encountered are quite happy to wait a week or four, especially if you're a regular customer)? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Ian Hargrave Posted October 22, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 22, 2013 It now being the time of year when thoughts turn to its seasonal climax of the celebration of The Nativity,I find a confusion crossing my mind when I rehearse on Monday nights for our choirs 'Carols by Candlelight' concerts.....for instance,was it Sidney Carter or George Jackson Churchward who composed 'Every Star Shall Sing A Carol' ?

Spare a thought for Mr. Churchward this Yuletide. December 19th will be the 80th anniversary of his demise underneath No. 4085 "Berkeley Castle".
