      I really hope that the prizes aren't cracking! Dodgy mazak chassis?

      It's amazing what you don't notice till you're told... Looks good though - and I'm liking the column format for the sub-forums!

  9. Andy Y

    has tidied up the subforums to give a reasonable balance between clarity and space.

      Thats the problem with sport these days. Too much messing around at theme parks and not enough training. Rollercoasters indeed!

      Rollercoaster? Well it made me sick a couple of times, glad to be safely off it now!

      My mate Vince has an eye condition where he does have to have needles stuck into his eyeballs. The thought of it makes bits of me shrink!!

      I thought it was just another IE6 bug appearing...

       

  14. Andy Y

    has just worked out that in this and the previous version of the site we have passed the 1,000,000 posts mark a while ago. No wonder I can't find stuff.

    can't abide blunt emails when the problem is user error. A bit like the emails I get virtually demanding evaluations of all manner of cr@p someone's found in a dead relative's loft.

    1. Boris

      Boris

      There is of course the option of an equally blunt reply!

      It tickled me anyway, think Lady Killers with profanity. :) Some great little cameo roles too and you don't realise who some are until the credits.

      Well, that theory has set me in good stead!

    has been out booking the rest of the accommodation needed for members' day, it necessitated more cider and talking about modelling. :-D

    1. Brinkly

      Brinkly

      Are you listening to 'I am a cider drinker!' at the same time!? It is the law down in SWAG!

  21. Andy Y

    gets one job done in the garden and then Mrs Y immediately decides 4 other things can now be done as a result. X-(

      Has just finished job #6 - wash all the cack off the conservatory that jetting the decking had caused. At least I didn't leave the door open this time in an attempt to avoid job#7.

  22. Andy Y

      A fine choice indeed although the Stowford Press option is rather good too!

    there was a time when I thought this was 'a bit late', I must be getting old as I just think it's 'a bit early' now. Wagons roll.

      Ditto - the journey down will be fine at 0530.... not sure about the one back with all the weekend only muppetts. I think the M5/A303 could be 'interesting'....
