    I have ofthen found that in a sporting competition, the team or participants I favour lose abysmally if I so much as sneak a peek!

    I passsed an exam in meteorology in 1992 and have  a thermometer in the back garden so am completely qualified to forecast far more accurately than all the Met Office's supercomputers. 

    The PM programme finally bowed to the inevitable and attempted to fry an egg on the pavement outside New Broadcasting House and on the bonnet of the car of one of the presenters. Thank goodness we don't still have Nationwide which would inevitably have had some hapless presenter from every BBC region also failing to do the same.

      Ref Richard Stilgoe, he did sort of correctly predict the Eurovision winner. He wrote some lyrics which would be understood throughout Europe, some twaddle  about Beefsteak.  When Abba won (either the same year or the following year) it transpired that they too had chosen a lyric that would be understood throughout Europe - Waterloo!

    I hear that Swindon is going to apply for Nato membership.

     

    Or have I got that wrong?

      Ah yes the old political rivalries Doncaster v Swindon.  Expect Crewe to stick their oar in soon......

      I think Swindon need to concentrate on joining Div 1 before they can think about joining anything else

      In all seriousness though (a first for rmweb?) this does seem to be a golden age for 4mm modellers

      Are you looking at order history, or pre-orders (near the top of page)?  I got caught out by this, 'orders' are in 2 different places.

    What festive meal are you cooking, we're having turkey and popcorn.

    If you build something and then find that it's wrong the only long term solution that you will be happy with is to take it to pieces and rebuild it right.

    10:00 am om 10 January. RMweb is probably a better bet than the Hornby website to get the update.

      Maybe, but IIRC it can be very slow or (horror of horrors) even crash due to shorting out with all the froth that spills onto rmweb.
