See, we do model the 'real thing' (sometimes even if we think it is c**p!

The comment related to post 32808 where thought was required from a response ... cows take their time ruminating ... so I thought (there is that word again) that you would be taking your time thinking over it and the number of options opened up to you. The amount of work you are doing at the moment surely means that you are missing a lot of 'running time'! Cheers.

Ruminating time.

Hope you don't live in Blackpool Road/Street that will therefore be flooded soon and if the map is right High Street might also be affected. Reminds me of a previous time when we ferried people from riverside homes to the Burton Town Hall in our Red Cross ambulances. TV camera crew came in about 0400 hours ... one of the times (although sitting on the floor trying to rest I didn't look my best!) that ended up on the screens. Other things that have appeared: marmalade ... no thank you. Aircraft those that spring to mind: Dakota to Jersey: 6-seater (including pilot) in Wales: BA111 to Glasgow, remembered because of the clear view of the construction of the QE2; VC10 to Canada (very pleasant and return journey leaving very late in the evening and then over the intercom "Breakfast is Served"): Vanguard and DC3 Canada - Wonderfull view of Winnipeg Siding and gong over the Rockies was wonderful: cannot remember the aircraft for Switzerland, can remember the snow, but it did involve changing aircraft at Schipol to get to Birmingham: also the Monarch bone shaker (Britannia?) to Italy. Guys, thanks for the memories. BT UK and World News does not exist anymore by the look of things and setting up other news to come up immediately - my IT skills are not up to that Tony and am now only just over a mobile telephone that could only text or make calls to one with a camera and other wonders I believe. Latest rant - AI and IT inability to recognise a D-B name/surname and use a small letter for the second name - banks are one of the worst offenders -Rant over. Also noticed that some 'likes' etc. did not appear - probably my fault. Hope everybody gets over the extremely bad flooding.

I see that even here there is some 'flood water' creeping in middle right!.

Looking forward to the new layout - no fells but ... I am sure it will be superb and I will learn from your construction of it.

He'll be 'volting over' at electrifying speed from Amp Shar.

I too have all those but the home page has changed and the BT Virus Protect aka McAfee does not install. The main gripe is the sudden loss of the News that was the home page - that is my main source of news, not being an avid TV viewer.

Blu needs replacing at intervals and costs=a=packet but the current car does seem to run better than its predecessor. Rant coming - has anyone else using BT found that you can no longer get BT News - Latest UK and World News headlines - in any shape or form. All you get is BTTV adverts of how good its range of programmes is becoming what ever you press. Need an alternative as home page - and of course free. Rant over. Also found that McAfee does not install - at least not in the last few months - so use a Mac one instead but still paying for the McAfee.

Let's have the photograph - does he work weekends?

In our village in the Swad area we have had a hailstorm and it is now snowing. Yesterday it currently appears that we had little damage but the wind moved a metal table and four attached chairs, tied as a precaution in terms of the weather, across the patio as well as re-positioning a number of potted trees and plants.

Still 'drunk' on duty - about time he fell over or got on with some work - no wonder it costs so much to travel by train.

Just a recent bit of fantastic service on my Proxxon table saw by the manufacturersTBS GmbH Wers* from Aachen. After quite a delay after it stopped working it was missed so then considered it worth the expense to send it to them for repair - probably for something that I did not do right in use. I wondered what had happened as there had been no response but by a stoke of luck the person now living at the address occupied when it was first ordered knew my son. To cut a longish story short my son was able to pick it up so, 200 miles later I opened the package and found that they had replaced it FoC. Fantastic service! * not full name stated

Reminiscent of our Hattie, especially with the eyes and yes, always taken on holidays. Our first as children came when Dad brought home a black mongrel puppy who's first action was to run up the garden chasing birds and was hence known as 'Beryl the Peril'. Dad knew the family and had seen her being badly treated ... she was great and we also found that an intruder was unable to get out as she pinned his arm in the door frame until help arrived.

Welcome to the forum and welcome to see us on any Tuesday evening from 1900 hours. Hope not too much damage was done - we have a few small trees knocked over but hopefully we will be able to sort them. Locally other areas were difficult to access, particularly Measham this morning. Cheers Peter BB

Oban. As a student I spent much time on Kerrera, Rick might well relate this to Kingston, absolutely loved it, was quite happy walking down to the ferry and Sundays at the station … this was over 50 years ago. On more recent visits (oops 17 years ago was last) much change and building had taken place and the 'short-cut' that made the walk was no longer present. The number one highlight that has now come into mind was the morning I arrived coming up from London and Hamish and Marie my hosts were going to the games. Off we went in the crowd behind the pipes for what turned out to be a fabulous day. The other aspect was watching a Class 26 stop on the 'hills' above the ground and the crew taking their time sitting by the track eating their sandwiches while watching the proceedings. The other highlight was Mr Beaton the ferryman at the time, Duncan is the current one, who one summers day took me across to Heather Island because he had sheep on it. HIs propeller became entangled with seaweed and he was stuck … so he held my ankles while I slipped down over the stern to remove said articles. I did once think of buying a small cottage in Horseshoe Bay that I had visited frequently in those early years but it was in a very sorry state ...

Our thoughts are with you and the photographs show that Kerry had the best time with you and no doubt had given special comfort in the last few months. Andy - sorry to hear your news and as ERs we will be thinking of you.

Yes Bob, as part of the 20 000 beds in 'the semi-circle' ... worked at St Helier Group for 15 years and did occasionally travel to one or two of those ... some of which were described as 'super nutter' places in those days. I also remember a patient who said "Why should I go outside - I'm well fed and watered - what more do I need". Things changed when they said that 'working for free was oppressive' they 'cannot 'work' - some of them seemed quite happy working but after this directive had nothing to do all day ... and became worse.

I tried to add a similar comment an hour or two ago but it would not let me type ... wondering how long it will be before the (empty?) barrel tips over!

Get well soon.

Hence why a Radio Active (RA) sandwich would be well degraded long before it reached the bloodstream and the targeted organ(s). In 60s RA isotopes became established in the NHS initially injected to kill cancer cells (strange how the 'photograph' of the first observed working as what are now ODAs in chest theatre during student days) has come into mind. Working in pathology RAs were introduced to detect thyroid problems by injection and then used in assays (inadvertently introducing these techniques in early 70s in Gloucester led eventually many years after my time there to a full blown Dept of Physical Medicine). Bioluminescence and other techniques have since taken over from Radio Immune Assay (RIA) . What else has come to mind is the effect on our assays of the then undisclosed Chernobyl explosion in April 1986, with huge changes in background counts that led to many repeated assays at effectively enormous cost before the real reason became apparent. Moves - 28 years in the house in which I was born in SW19 then Surrey, Gloucester and since then in the Midlands for over 40 years.

Let's add to that - Australia and New Zealand - truly RM and especially EM covers great distances.

Yes, the release from attendance is considerable. Cavatina is also soothing.

Same happened to son's car (not quite in the B.. class) and with no money sourcing a replacement took a (long) while. He has posted a video clip of the engine running bu also said ...why we've got the front off might as well replace (one or two) other bits and pieces. It does have rather a lot of miles on the clock!
