Just because there are others that behave that way doesn't make it appropriate. I can take a joke as much as anyone, from friends or even at myself but I do draw the line at snide people taking pops.

      It seems he's deleted it now; never mind there's always screenshots if he carries on playing silly games.

  5. If there is a greater being who has any control over anything could I just ask for a day without an idiot in it please? You sent me six yesterday, surely some mistake?

      Nice one Andy, I can't wait to see your next layout offering, not withstanding the fact that you'll need a bit of time to get things done.

      If Andy couldn't possibly comment, then why did he comment on his own comment?

  9. It's about this time on any 'announcement day' that I lose the will to live with selfish, "I'm so clever", pointless posts and comments from people who can't be bothered to read information which has already been provided.

  13. Yesterday I received the Accurascale HUOs, arguably the finest 4mm RTR wagon we have ever seen and today I have what I believe is the finest, by a substantial margin, RTR 4mm loco the UK market has seen - an interesting week!

      It's not shouty, it's singing, like me, just more in tune and with fewer swear words.

  17. If anyone's likely to be at Bristol TM around 11.00 may get to see something a bit special!

      Full marks to GWR for a meaningful and appropriate tribute. Also, the guy responsible for the design on this wrap and others has a hugely fitting surname.

      It was all sorted by about 8.00 pm last night. All working fine. It's opportune to say that any malicious activity which affects the performance of a site is actually a criminal act and not just a prank.

  21. I knelt at my bedside last night and prayed to the good Lord that Monday should be free of knobs. That didn't work - I've just had to deal with someone who thinks that all of the site's facilities should be accessible to them even though they don't want to join RMweb as they prefer to spend their precious time modelling. Same s**t, different day then. ;)

      Apparently I didn't get through to higher authorities last night. My call was diverted to Rent-a-Cock who have amply provided their resources today; it's all been a terrible mix up.

  22. is wondering where the new 'Pointless debate, inconsequential rant and cyclical argument' sub-forum should go.

      Nice a "Room 101" area where pointless and cyclical threads go to die. I like it. Can I nominate the Stove R thread as a first entry?

      I thought Gallery was supposed to be an eye-opener full of 'WOW' pictures.

      I think everyone has a different idea about wot the gallery is for. I'm not keen on it being used a workshop thread.
