    Good news today! The hotel lounge has got a new “English” News Paper! It's the Monday edition of the China Daily. Hmmm... I think I'll save it for breakfast.

      will it taste good with Marmite?

    There used to be a loop between Heyrod and Scout Tunnel but on the Up line (travelling down hill, that is, towards Manchester!). Being so close to Stalybridge, I'm not sure that it would be that benifitial. If they did want to re-instate the Micklehurst Loop again then another viaduct would have to be rebuilt at Stalybridge over the Canal, the River Tame and then straight into the Tunnel. I always thought that the viaduct straight into a Tunnel would look particularly good in model form. Kev.

    Damn those hackers! It's taken me 2 attempts to remember my password and a further 3 tries at inputting a new one because I can't splell! Now if they'd have wanted to do something about SQL then I might have been more sympathetic.

    Is quite excited! I'm off to somewhere new tomorrow. I haven't been to anywhere new for ages and that was probably Israel or Norway 4 years ago. Anyway it's Inner Mongolia tomorrow afternoon. I'll take me mint source!

    Is about to open a packet of “Numb and Spicy Hot Pot Flavor” crisps...

      Do tell whether the "numb" bit referred to the flavour or your tongue after consumption!

    2. SHMD

      SHMD

      I think the "Numb" bit refers to the consumer for purchasing the product. Eminently forgettable.

      I once tried some shrimp-flavoured crisps. Disgusting...

    Hi GHLawrence2000, I'll take that as a "no" then for the colour coded wire - except for the "Main leads" that is. I would still recommend that the Mains Terminals, on the Transformers, be covered up to prevent any roaming hands/fingers/necklaces/etc from touching them now or in the future. Preferably using Perspex as an overall guard above the Transformers. Regards, Kev.
  8. SHMD
    WOW! GHLawrence2000. There is a lot I caould say/ask/recommend here but... If it works and you're happy then that's really all that matters. Might I suggest you 'cover up' the exposed mains voltages inside the control box. Maybe only you will 'dare to' go in there at the moment, but you don't know about the future. Dare I ask if any of it is colour coded? Regards, Kev.

    ...bit of a panic moment then! - I couldn't find the mini-Bar in my room! Now safely located/pillaged.

      Ah! Came into the room with warm/cheap outside beer, had a tin of the cold mini-Bar beer, then replaced cold beer with warm beer! Jobs-a-good-un!

    Arrived in Xi'An and went straight to one of my favourite hotels only to be very disapointed.

    I'm not wanting to desturb Andy Y, at this busy time, but anybody else lost bits of their "Your Profile" pull down menu? (Located at the top right on the index page.) I can't get at the missing buttons any more!

      Yes me too. But seems only to happen on I.E. Occasionally the full menu come but mostly not! I click on avatar and get to 'profile' page that way.

  13. SHMD

      Firefox includes a spell-checker, which works on all web sites as you type. Just install the British Dictionary add-on.

      I think I might try that - thanks Martin.

    There... I've done it! I've posted a reply quoting somebody. Nearly worked as I intended too!

    1. Debs.

      Debs.

      "Thus" quoth your querulous, quote-quotient! :-)

    2. SHMD

      I had to look that one up and i stll don't know what it all means - except that it will be up to your usual standard! ;-)

    3. Debs.

      I`ll quit, quickly! :-)

    Is looking forward to the first time I have Lamb Chops in China when I bring out my own jar of Mint-Source. MMmmmm...

    1. Horsetan

      Horsetan

      Are you sure it will actually be lamb that you'll be eating, or eating something else that also likes to eat lamb?

    2. SHMD

      SHMD

      nah! I can distinguish their lamb, fish, beef, and chicken. It gets harder after that - even with an interpreter!

    Has been allocated seat 2A on the Boeing747 Combi to Shanghai. Very VERY nice...

  17. SHMD

    ...is busy packing for my trip to China later today. SWMBO is quite sure that there is still room for the kitchen!

  18. SHMD

    Apologies to all as my spelling has been atrocious (looks wrong - even to me) recently,as my new laptop does not have a spell checker yet!

    1. Debs.

    Going to China on Thursday, with my wife and 4yr old, for 2 months on buisness. All booked, payed for, jabbed, visa'd, arranged, etc. Today my son breaks out in Chicken Pox. Why? Why does it always happen to me...

      Just noticed MI3 is out. First impressions - WOW!

  20. SHMD

    Next week I'm off to China again ;-) but with an airline with the (just change to) the worst frequent flyer program :-( +500k miles and no way of using them!

  21. SHMD

      I'd recognise it if I saw it, send it to me and I'll check it over.

      The Landlady said it was hers but she did give me a couple of drinks as a reward.

      It's got to be mine. I own a bank in Iceland and have lost quite a few.

  22. SHMD

    Yes! New Laptop fired up, working and connected. Now to move many Mega-Bytes of rubbish onto its hard disk. But no work being done on my entry to the 2012 Innovation Challenge today :-(
