    Boris may be eligible for parole under a restraining order not to mention bodily functions, underpants, winding up the Mods and combinations thereof. This is of course subject to his acceptance of the above; breach of these parole terms will mean a long spell on the naughty step.

      Backups are for wimps - kidding.

       

      Tip - make sure you can read the backup.

      Make sure you can restore the backup, reading it is the easy bit.

      I am the only person who saw '7mm' and thought you were looking for detailing for O gauge?

      Very drole. Do you mean the actual act of crapping upside down or claiming that others can do same, Horse?

      Well, maybe the saying 'if you throw enough s**t, some of it is going to stick' applies to flies aswell.

      Halfwits in Buxton would have been a step up from Matlock in the %wit department! :-D

  9. Andy Y

    is getting really annoyed with nit-picking, manufacturer and model-bashing today. Surely this site can be better used than that?

    is amazed at the state that Mrs Y got the oven into yesterday. Although I owe her many favours she owes me a rather large 'hot pan on the workbench mark' favour. :)

    is really glad at the moment he changed the MD venue. If I hadn't I would be busy sweeping out a filthy engine shed and chasing people to move rolling stock right now.

      Origin of Symmetry and Absolution in whole will do. All other attempts at music need not apply.

      @Pixie - one track off each of those is on the playlist.

      My dad always advocated not stopping drinking-you only get a headache when you stop ;)

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

      Andy. Just a suggestion, why not go and grab the handles on the mattress and lift to give them all a reminder that is fathers day.

      perhaps they think 'when he is finished on the net, we'll make him a cuppa' ;-)
