    How would you model a gravy train?

      I've no idea. I don't think it's a real type of train. Wikipedia explains that is defined as 'an occupation or any lucrative endeavour that generates considerable income whilst requiring little effort and carrying little risk' and 'a gorging on luxuries, since someone else foots the bill.' So I don't think that real trains are actually involved at all. As such, you'd probably be better directing your efforts at modelling a different kind of real train.

      Perhaps the Necropolis Railway might provide inspiration for modelling grave-y trains:

      You’d certainly want it to run well...

    The Garden Railways bit of this forum has become very lively of late and quite inspirational

      I find that figs or prunes usually help. Failing that, a good curry.

    My first day back at work started with my laptop deciding it didn't want to work, no siree, thank you very much

      Better than my 2days before Christmas the office gets broken into and the laptops get stolen! So when I go back the first 3 days will be buying new ones and setting them up... read no work done by me!

  12. Jongudmund

    Well, I just learned something new in Microsoft Word

  13. Jongudmund

    Might get a trip to the model shop today. It really is Christmas!

  14. Jongudmund

    Dissertation complete! (well the first draft that will no doubt get shredded now!)

  15. Jongudmund

    I am seriously under word count in my dissertation and desperately need to pad it out.

      My wife was 22000 words over in her doctoral dissertation. She removed a chapter about post feminism.

      I had great difficulty keeping within the word limit - I pushed a load into the bibliography, footnotes....

      Ok, thanks all. I went and developed my Discussion section a lot more. I also went through my method section and got really detailed about what I did because I had glossed over some of the processes. I also rewrote and extended my introduction and conclusion (thanks, Claude). Agt613 you have me worried now, but hopefully it isn't padding for padding's sake and does actually serve the overall purpose of the study.

  16. Jongudmund

    Well, I watched Rogue One and I feel underwhelmed

      I went to see Rouge One. The story wasn't great but the make-up was good.

      Me too. ( But only after I've been to the pub for a few). Please ignore future comments.

    Today's main achievement has been finally removing the pigeon poop from the bedroom window.

    1. Captain Kernow

      Captain Kernow

      Presumably the pigeon has now escaped back into the open?

    Turns out I'm not the only one to get an error message when I update my status. It's nice to know I'm not alone.

    Why does RM Web always say there was an error with my status update?

      It's a known 'Bug' in the software that was given a very low priority to fix - even though it is so visible!
