Hermes! 

After more than one f*ck up to many I decided a while ago that I'd no longer buy anything from anyone who used them as a courier.  Trouble is, I've now discovered, dealers abroad have no idea who their local couriers use for the final leg of anything delivered to the UK.

A game of dare... dare I go out after 10 weeks 'Shielding' ???

Finally managed to get through to BA to arrange a refund. Hell's teeth, they don't make it easy!

Good to see the producers of invisible ink are still hard at work in these tough times!

Today I will be mainly cutting up an old model railway in situ with a circular saw

There is a load of toilet roll jokes doing the rounds at the moment.

I was a hit man for the CIE...

The object of the present task is to glue some whitemetal clasp brake shoes to the secondhand pipe wagon I acquired recently. Result so far is three in place, the other firmly fixed between my thumb and forefinger. Good job I'm proficient with the left-handed scalpel.

Following the "Software Upgrade " this afternoonI can only see two-thirds of content on my screen ( left to right ) with the remainder taken up with a white blank area.

May I ask if this will this be the final format ? ( Hopefully not )

Is waiting for a call concerning his Greggs Black Card... 

OK, now here's a mystery. What has happened to minced garlic on our supermarket shelves? You just can't find it anywhere these days. Just the inferior 'garlic granules', which are too small. 

Why would a hotel chain allow its accountants to let customers know what they think of them through the quality of the toilet rolls?

Have any European class 66's ever visited the UK?
