      If it was making a racket it might of been the early tender drive. The early Hornby ones can be a bit noisy with age

      When it's gone from your own head, paint rabbits where it used to be. From a distance, they'll look like hares.

      I've been very good and refused all refreshments offered and only bought two books... although there's always another day.

      Hope it works for you. The best relief I had for sciatica, 40 years ago in outpatient physio, was 8 weeks of traction treatment, strapped to a metal bed and gently pulled, while the leather straps creaked ooh nurse!! It really worked.

    3. Tim Dubya

      Tim Dubya

      rembrow, sorry to hear that, I'm on about my 7th outpatient physio with the lovely Lucy ;)

      The orthopaedic team are making the decision about whether to refer me for an MRI at the moment, as I should have improved by now :(

      Things aren't too bad as I only wqork 6 hours a day for three days, so I'm 'walking wounded'

       

      Cheers
