  1. Lemon tree very pretty, but the fruit far from sweet...

  2. I see that the RMweb logo at the top of the page is now saying that this is the "ad version".

     

     

    Even when logged in...

     

    Is this the top of a slippery slope?

     

  3. Where did everybody go ?

      Didn't anybody else have a 3 hour RMWeb outage today ?

  5. Braced for the imminent arrival of Eunice here on board - we're anchored in the Elbe estuary, and she's starting to pick up speed rapidly...

      It was "choppy" in Salford Docks yesterday.

      There were even "white horses"!

       

      Must have been a wild night out at sea. 

      Did the hull do any belly slaps whilst at anchor!?

  8. This weeks itinerary includes A319, A318, A320 Embraer190.

      My itinerary listed it as an A318 but what actually showed up could have anything, (with compatible seating arrangements). I remember (badly as I never ever usually take notice) that the reg/call sign/number... was something like G-GOPH or G-GOPH or G-GUPG or G-GUPH.... you get the idea. New seats fitted as 2xUSB sockets were lit up everywhere!

      Romania's nice - but I don't recommend the curried cabbage lattice slice, for breakfast or the deep fried goats brains ever!

      I'm in Den Haag, for 2 to 3 weeks, so I went to Utrecht to the Spoorwegmeuseum.

      What a great place.

      Why have I never been here before!

      Den Haag and the Spoorwegmeuseum.

  12. Just been chopping up some scraps of dowel and wooden skewer - then drilling some holes and threading a wire offcut through them.

     

    This lot needs to work - or my cakebox entry will be finished before it starts!

    1. SHMD

      That's uncanny!

       

      The short Tram line on my cakebox entry is using thin brass wire stripped off an experimental superconducting magnet that was decommissioned at a university is was working at at the time.

       

      The scrap metal bin, where I work, is such a rich cornucopia of wonderful stuff!

      (The scrap gold and copper is usually never put in there though.)

      Those self replicating machines will not be a so formidable a problem if they are based on the bottle neck of the Von Neuman architecture!

  16. Today, at Stalybridge Ticket Office, I asked how much was a "return to normal"?

    The clerk said it was very expensive and there wasn't a train due for ages!!

     

    1. SHMD

      SHMD

      Yes. It's a much more sedate/relaxed drive to Haverford West than these new fangled types.

      I was hoping for Normal High Level but he didn't even have the Low Level option!

  18. Why is the Virgin Hyperloop capsule streamlined ?

    1. SHMD

      SHMD

      Ha, I've found it!

      The tube was under vacuum. 100Pa or 0.001 bar.

       

      Now I wonder how long it took to pump down that 500m by 3.3m diameter chamber?

      Hroth, as I work with vacuum chambers almost daily, I try to get into the e-10's (Torr or mBar - it doesn't really matter).

      It's "mass" that needs to be removed from the (hyperloop) tube - not the ultimate vacuum, or even not "all the air" - which is impossible.

       

      I do wonder what the tube's vacuum was though, for the trip?

      That's why I saw it 3 times in 30 minutes.

      Thanks Woodenhead.
