  1. "Steve, come and help me with my new jigsaw!", cried Nan, "I't's got so many pieces, but it's meant to be a chicken". Sighing as I walked over, "Nan, sit back down and I'll clean up the cornflakes..."

  2. A 9 pints of cider hangover and a hot sunny day. Can somebody do me the favour of ending it now please?

      LoL - haven't drunk the stuff since a snakebite incident when I was 18...

      don't blame cider for the effects of snakebite!

      You haven't been at the White Lightning again, have you?

  3. After a Best of British start to the day, my car is now the only one left in the office carpark...

      ....which is now covered in ice?

      yep! Looks like I'll be walking home

  4. And then I go and spoil it all by saying something stupid like: "I think I'll try cleaning the wheels with white vinegar"

      Haha! Jim, you should be on stage. The mistake I made was not washing it off afterwards so it left a (stinky) residue. It's all pucker now, thank Cod...

  5. Andy York and Dave Brailsford – separated at birth?

    1. Horsetan

      Horsetan

      ....or impersonation?

      Nah - someone's cloned Andy.

      It'll also be my local rail tour - but I'll be headed past it on way to Ally Pally that day - Bad timing!

      Jon, thanks for answering this but I'm afraid I can't find nuffink. Any hints? Would love to go to Ally Pally again but if I can get a discount on this trip I'll take it.

  12. Gosh, I miss the archive! So many interesting threads I keep finding references to but they're locked up in their little coffins...

  13. I miss the fundraising raffles

    1. devondynosoar118

      devondynosoar118

      Me too, but I suspect Andy doesn't miss organising them!

      We've got one going at the Mansfield Show ;)

      What prizes do you have Ian?

  14. I sold my Derby Lightweight and I want it back... :(

      Hindsight is so irritating...

  15. I think the next RMW challenge should be Ikea-related. My vote goes to putting slip covers back on soda beds after you've washed them!

    1. Tony_S

      Tony_S

      Is a soda bed like a water bed?

    2. bcnPete

      bcnPete

      Nah...shelf layouts is the way to go... lol

  16. I wonder how bcnPete is doing in his new job?

  17. I'm loving the reintroduced archive, so many sparkling treasures in there!

    1. bcnPete

      bcnPete

      Well spotted...that will be another shed load of time I spend on the forum!

    2. The Nth Degree

      The Nth Degree

      Have spent a couple days looking in there. Cracking workbenches, including Triang Hymeks and Lima 33s

    3. bcnPete

      bcnPete

      I'm onto it!

  18. I've brought my solebars into work today. In between my filing I'm going to do some filing...

    1. SHMD

      SHMD

      Are you filing bits of A4?

    2. The Nth Degree

      The Nth Degree

      Haha! Yes, I may have Bittern off more than I can chew

  19. I've just found out my neighbour is a DCC expert

    1. Horsetan

      Horsetan

      He's going to find himself very popular.

    2. The Nth Degree

      The Nth Degree

      Exactly! He's made himself available... A lecturer and exhibitor, no less!

  20. I've just got over the worst illness ever. I don't know how I survived – that bug could have put down a bear!

    1. Armchair Modeller

      Yeah, joining the 2mm Scale Association has that effect on most people ;)

    2. The Nth Degree

      The Nth Degree

      Haha! Amen

      By the way, snotty tissues are an excellent modelling medium!

    3. Nickey Line

      Green scatter...?

  21. I've taken a week off to play with the little fella for half term. I need to find the closest early Drewry 04 to Sussex that I can photo

  22. Just about finished moving in. To save unpacking I'm seriously thinking of making furniture out of boxes!

      Had a frield who used a tea-chest as a dining table for about two years! A floor length table-cloth meant that you didn't know until you banged your knees!

    2. The Nth Degree

      Ha, and I bet you knew it too! Ditto with the strange mates, one of mine used wine bottle cases (loads of them!) to make a wall of box-shelves. Looked quite nice!

  23. Packing to move house on a hot day with gastric flu. The loo roll is the last item to go in the box

  24. Phone off for most of the day. Then at 8pm the boiler stops. It's -7 outside and not much more inside...

      Plumber just arrived! Driving a new Merc and sporting a lovely gold watch...

      Debs.

      You and all you own; now belong to him! :-)

  25. Standing in the kitchen watching a dogfight between a Spitfire and a ME109 outside the window. Making a cuppa will never be the same again
