  1. Kim took me to Corfe / Swanage today for my birthday treat. Steam, fish and chips and a walk on the beach with the dogs. Now at home in front of the wood burner with a large G&T, pretty much perfect day really!

      Oops the spell checker must have changed the whisky. I'm certainly not averse to a Bushmills but wouldn't be appropriate tonight!

      Well, I hope you had a merry Burns Night out and 'yeir lum reeked'! No doubt today you will mostly be drinking Pellegrino... ;-)

  3. Eldest son completed his Masters and offered a job all in the space of a few days - thrilled for him. Looks like two of our four kids living at home is going to become one in the next month or so.

      I felt old 10 years ago when my then 13 year old step daughter asked me what an LP was. This year my nine year old son asked me what a CD was. Felling even older now.

  5. New Bond film followed by a curry for wife Kim's birthday last night - you cant buy class!

    No spoilers but classic Bond, great stunts and car chases, humour and pathos and the bad guy has his own island - what's not to like!!

      Ours aren't interested this year which is worrying

      Hey, that's my fave NY track too! Have a listen to his latest album 'Americana' - a return to a 1975 sound - brilliant! Full album on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_71FA0V-P0&list=PL01CFFB6D3C40A50F&index=42&feature=plpp_video

      Cheers Phil. Added it to my favourites, will give it a good listening later.

  10. Went to see Grease last night with Dave from the Gascupboard. Our better halves told us off for over-enthusiastic boogeying. Just like the first time we went to see it in 1978.....we were 14 then though!

      Yeahhh, 'get down 'n get with it' you ol' smoothy! But I'm sure your modelling has improved since you were 14!

      The stage show last night, the movie in 1978!

      I can just imagine the boogeying and the subsequent telling off in progress! What larks! LOL!

  11. Should have been at the Wigan show this weekend but sadly had to pull out due to Kim going in to hospital. The op was a great success and she's now enjoying six weeks r & r! I hope everyone has a great time at the show, we'll be there next year

      Of course, your priority is seeing to Kim's r&r! Thinking of you both. See you at Larkrail in a few weeks... :))

      Get well soon, Kim.

      35 and you could of got away with it. Speed + 10% + 2mph, enforceable on the second mph!!!! Bad luck! The awareness course saves the points going on, so may be an option for you.

      Get on the speed awareness course if eligible,at least it saves points on licence

  13. Hacked off with RMWeb at the moment. Last time I felt like this I ended up on the naughty step, think I'll just withdraw for a while this time.

      Try discussing it with Andy rather than trying to gain support in SU.

  14. If you want to see a very happy model shop owner then pop in and see Dave at the Gascupboard in Trowbridge next week. Bristol Rovers back in the League at the first time of asking.

    1. Re6/6

      Re6/6

      The 'Gasheads' are back! I shall take delight in mentioning it to the village shopkeeper tomorrow. He's a Robins' supporter and will go nuts!I might get thrown out!

      I used to watch them in the mid-70s when 'Smash and Grab' were at their best!

    3. queensquare

      Bannister and Warboys, smash and grab. I have their autograph somewhere, they opened a sport shop in Warminster! I used to go to Swindon more than Rovers but the Gas's kit is still one of my favourite strips.

  15. Managed to get a wapping great splinter in the tip of my finger today which snapped off inside Spent the evening in minor injuries unit. Had to have have finger numbed and tip dug out to get at little blighter. Put paid to modelling for next few days - just perfect with Expo EM this weekend and Railex the next. Feeling a bit sorry for myself .

      Ohhh, what a chip off the old block you are, Jerry. I prescribe red wine to numb the pain, ha ha! Have fun at Expo EM and Railex, wish I could be there wiv ya. :-)

  16. Just got back from the Mendip group and found my neighbour has hung a brace of pheasant outside my back door

      I know where the birds came from and how they were dispatched. More than I can say for shop meat!

      Wowww, what a windfall! Good to know the old 'network' still functions, eh! Pheasie for Xmas lunch?

  17. Swelling on finger gone down and managed to get my wedding ring back on so off to the workshop for a couple of hours. Can't do anything at the bench but can start to get stuff paced up for the weekend.

  18. Kim has just rebuilt the Christmas tree for the second time after the kitten had trashed it. Very entertaining but Kim not impressed!

    1. Captain Kernow

      Captain Kernow

      Completely understandable series of events, from both Kim's point of view and also that of the kitten...! (we've only put lights and one angel on our tree, due to intense kitten interest!)

      My dogs are terrified of the cats - they had made a tactical retreat!!

  19. Just settling down for a couple of hours of TMS before heading off to bed. Hoping England can polish off the Aussies first innings before I'm forced to turn in

    1. aussiebrfan

      aussiebrfan

      The only thing getting polished off is your batsmen. 6 wickets for 9 runs. Oh yeah!!

      English batting - we are the best at collapsing in spectacular fashion !!!!

  20. Getting ready to watch Glastonbury on telly for the first time. Not sure how I'm going to feel about it - got used to going over the last thirty years.

    1. Phil Copleston

      Phil Copleston

      You'll be fine, Jerry. Get the wine in, settle in front of the box with the sound cranked up, and have a wail of a time! (mud free too, unless the dogs pounce on you after their walkies) Enjoy "oldies Glasto" ha ha!!

      Thanks Phil although typically because we aren't there this year its going to be a sunny weekend. Hey, ho!!

  25. Getting the camper van ready to head off to Cornwall in the morning. Hoping that the sound of rain beating down on the roof will inspire me to get a couple of articles I have been threatening to finish done!
