      … especially when you pay through the nose to travel by train, in the first place.

       

      When I was commuting, I really hated it when there was any mention of "bustitution" - especially when too few buses were ordered - and there was never any guarantee of when, or if, said buses might actually appear.

      Bustitution! I like that term! xD

  3. It's embarrassing sending a PM to someone whose name you've forgotten. I really should make a list...

  8. MS Paint reprieved - result!!!!!

    1. Ian J.

      Ian J.

      Good job too. I use it in combination with PrtSc and Alt-PrtSc for screen grabs where right click menus need to be visible - something the 'snip' tool doesn't appear to be able to do.

  9. Must make time to peruse Dave F's thread sometime

    1. GRUNFOS

      won't be time wasted.

      I'm sure there's a web site for that

      Occasionally I indulge myself and use a dictionary. Actually, with increasing regularity :-(

  12. Oh the perils of making a complete rubbish posting!

    1. halfwit

      halfwit

      Postal service problems?

      Forgotton or muddled postcode?

      Wrong stamp resulting in having to pay the difference on the doorstep?

      Poorly sealed envelopes?

      I usually just wait for the Binmen to take my rubbish away. I have never thought of posting it to them.

  13. On the GWR, the correlation of a tender underframe to the body type was largely coincidental

  14. Profile pic has disappeared from profile page...

    1. Andy Y

      Andy Y

      Hmm, something seems to have disappeared whilst images were being moved between two servers yesterday. Will investigate.

  15. Remember, when you are opening your box, you are no longer just opening the box, you have an ongoing de-accession incident type of situation

      You might regret it when things go wrong in the future, Andy! (It's an old Red Dwarf gag, btw.)

       

  17. RMweb silly quiz: what's the mpg of the GWR Steamrailmotor? (No, I don't have a clue either.)

      If it were 0.2mpg, it could get to Paddington and back on a tankful

    3. The Stationmaster

      The Stationmaster

      Ah but it would have yo faster enroute to Paddington so consumption would rise.

    4. Horsetan

      Horsetan

      But hopefully not too much if you take advantage of momentum :-)

  18. RTARB = ready to add replacement bits

      Once the market leader, they have now turned into a greedy grabbing company producing buggy software just like Quark once was.

       

      There are alternatives . . .

      I'm trying to resolve a problem with mail server settings; it'll be tomorrow at least before it's sorted.

    2. Miss Prism

      Miss Prism

      Not yet resolved. Still not getting notifications of blogs I have started to follow within the last year or so. Summat about that blog-following database ain't right.

  24. Swindon's policy of continuous improvement translates to continuous confusion to anyone who tries to follow it
