      Although we don't have the details of who or what as upset the boss, I can completely sympathise, I have voluntary stuck my neck out and got bit in the past.

      Yeah; they've got some lumps of fallen masonry, a couple of zombie 'Stretch Armstrongs' and half-eaten tin of bins. One could be quite valuable I believe.

    All the Ts are crossed and Is dotted, RMweb's first exclusive model will be announced tomorrow. See the BRM stand from 10.00 and the site from midday.

    Amongst all that accumulated 'stuff' on my desk was a vital adapter crucial to the whole re-routing of cabling around my desk. Now I've tidided all the 'stuff' to do the job it's disappeared. Who's moved it?

      Hi Andy,

       

      I like the new thumbnail format for Layout Topics. Can we choose our own pictures? Poor old Furtwangen Ost seems to have just a bare wallpaper table!

       

      All the best,

      Or do you just need to change the first picture?

    4. Andy Y

      Andy Y

      The author (or admin) can change the pic. Got to the image which you want to display, right click to copy the image url and then head back to the relvant forum view, click on the image and you can paste the url of the image you'd like to display and then save. I'm waiting for someone to right an edit for me and then I should be able to get it to display in VNC and I think it'll help attract readers to the right topics.

    Apologies for the slow performance; we are experiencing a malicious denial of service attack. The source of the attack is currently being traced.

      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.

    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.

    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. ;)

    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.

    can't quite believe there are Youtube videos showing how to take locos out of boxes? is this what the hobby and the wonders of technology has brought us to?

      Is there a video showing you how to work a Youtube video? No hang on, that wouldn't work.....

    3. Pacific231G

      Pacific231G

      There are boxes designed to give the model total protection all the way to when you open them whereupon they try to act like a jack-in- the-boxes determined to hurl the model at the ground.

    4. percomotion

      percomotion

      I cannot believe the amount of people watch them do it.So they have watched the video realised they have taken there own loco out of the box differently to that shown on youtube put it back in the box and done it as described on youtube.It must be rocket science.

    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.

      I would suggest caution here. Concocting is still an offence in parts of Cumbria....unless you have written consent of the animal involved. You have been sternly warned.
