    Only 2 days of preparation left! No worries; the marking-out-a-matic arrived today.

      Hmm, visions of a Wallace and Gromit style machine.

      I could do with one of their boxes of track...

      Pack it up and send it back because ... ?

    Chuffed with my new compressor but very dischuffed with the booking secretary of the village hall. Maybe I should use the former on the latter.

    1. Horsetan

      Horsetan

      That wouldn't be Trumpington Village Hall now, would it?

      Are you going to airbrush her nails?

    Reason to keep the box the PC came in #1 - Sending me a PM to say you can't sign in to RMweb

      The reverse of ringing up IT support to tell them your email's not working for them to say we only take problem reports by email.

    likes the changes in Gallery Style; I'll have to do some work to get it to pull Featured Images from somewhere more meaningful than just the latest uploads.

      People need to describe their photos more as well.

      The bugbear I find with the recent images is that they are easily overcome by one uploader.

  7. Andy Y

    Decided to tackle a 'how-to' on coastal scenery. Result? It looks like Saving Private Ryan in an insulation factory at the moment.

    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. :)

      If she reads this are you going to end up in A&E?

      You might want to tread carefully with the timing of when you raise this one!...

  12. Andy Y

    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.

      Maybe you can help Chris out with Model Rail Live later in the year :lol:

      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.

    Can we have some Xmas music she says? Having waded through four figures of naffness I managed to find the sum total of 5 tracks that I didn't detest the level of naffness or were suitable for playing over a family Xmas lunch. ;)

    1. St. Simon

      St. Simon

      Play the naff stuff when your in-laws come round Andy :)

    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!

  24. Andy Y

    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.
