Coombe Barton Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Good point but I'll let you tell her that or she might use her Jimmy Choo's to good effect on me. Is that threat or hope? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium 2ManySpams Posted April 22, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 22, 2014 If you do leave the thread you'll be back in ten months or so, What'll happen with the rhinos in the meantime is anyone's guess. Look what happened when you went away for a weekend Did someone mention rhinos? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium 2ManySpams Posted April 23, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 23, 2014 I know your South of the equator but there's no need to send them upside down. They will slowly rotate to the right way up (for the northern hemisphere) if you stare long enough... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold gwrrob Posted April 23, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted April 23, 2014 It will take more than 20 Rand to get some spams running through Brent. Add a 'G' and you can run anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Siberian Snooper Posted April 23, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 23, 2014 I with you on on that one Rob, who would want meat tins wizzing around their layout. Gave the layout its first airing yesterday with a complete new train of tankers, barrier vans and a brand new Grange it was running nice till a Hornby wheel set regauged it's self and took of half the train off with it, said wheel set is now some distance from the house in neighbouring garden!!!. If the neighbour doesn't find it and wonders where it came from, it will give time team something to scratch their heads over if they go there and dig it up in years to come.

Kev_Lewis Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Nice photo, Rob. I know there's no chance of seeing a Spamcan on ANTB, but tonight I went to see a re-built spam on the GWML. The nerve of it! (Iffy quality photo's available if no one believes me anyone's interested) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cary hill Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 (edited) It will make a change from slugs and snails.Does anyone else do this. Open letter from Brian the Snail (Retired) c/o The Magic Roundabout : Dear Rob, As a much respected member of the snail community I was more than a little disappointed to see stereotypical "throwaway" comments denigrating snails appearing on this thread. I was of a mind to immediately complain to Andy Y, but I have since thought better of it. I once said many years ago on "The Magic Roundabout", and just before the BBC Main Early Evening News, "Snails are underestimated". Here is the proof - something to brighten up drab old Brent - a host of very colourful characters and accessories to cheer up any layout. The real bonus is a magnificent talking (no expensive sound chips needed with snail technology) 4-2-2 locomotive to deputise for the indisposed 28XX. The loco may be a little outdated as it was built at snail's pace and naturally maximum speed is also snail's pace. This locomotive has the unique ability to turn through 180 degrees using only snail slime and so is ideal for layouts without rails or a turntable.(see You Tube link below for proof (approx 55 seconds in)) Plenty of railway interest in this short episode and a starring role for me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_aBMn1NfXdc#t=27http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_aBMn1NfXdc Give us snails a break Brian the Snnnnnaaaaaiiiiiilllllllllllll Edited April 24, 2014 by cary hill 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted April 24, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 24, 2014 I believe the Guard (Zebadee?) used to say "Time for bed" (said Zebedee) rather than "Right away driver". Is that correct or is my Brian brain being sluggish? P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your heart felt letter but as a hosta loving gardener I feel you offer no benefit of being in my garden.Of course you're welcome to stay but might find your home being a bucket of salted water next.Also your MR series wasn't a patch on 'Trumpton' in my household.So the only break you'll get from me.... kind regards Castle lover [back on topic] ps Brent isn't old or drab thank you.

As I am unlikely to have any layout sorted before the end of this year I think they may still be at Brent for a while. p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cary hill Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Dear Brian. As a hosta loving gardener You might find your home being a bucket of salted water next. ps Brent isn't old or drab thank you. I love the smell of hostas in the evening. Speaking as a snail, I had hoped that a GWR modeller would use copper rings as a defence mechanism rather than the unimaginative barbaric cruelty of the salt bucket. Brent probably isn't old or drab but in mitigation we snails have very poor eyesight and no aural system, so we cannot hear the abuse hurled at us by irate gardeners or railway modellers. Brian the Snail Munching a Hosta leaf and reporting under cover of darkness from a suburban garden somewhere in Coventry. P.s. We'll be long gone by the time you get up.
