Don't want the rossers after me!!i have enough trouble with the rivet counters Ray

there 2 89' flats which a making there way to the bin,there on the floor,i was given them by a trader,there all twisted and bowed,took the Kadees of them,so not all bad news. Ray

found it ,do you want it wrapped!!!!! Ray

it might be cheaper just to buy the kit, than buy beer for me,you know what i'm like once i get started Ray P.S just got to find it now!!!!

Ian i've got the Walthers trestle 933-3147 if thats any good,just sitting in a box and never likely to be used,going for the pricely sum of now't let me know i'll bring it with me?? Ray

Look forward to what ever you build ,but don't forget to add your usual deliberate mistakes e.g- magnets in the track ,wrong type of tree etc ,we've got to have something bad to talk about!!!! how about Mexico!!!! Ray

Did someone mention beer,here's the challenge for Saturday night, find real ale pubs with beer prices the same as we pay up north!!!!! we'll stretch to £3.00 a pint,£6.50 for a half,bu##er me, i'd want 2 pints and nuts for that!!!!!!! Ray

Thats what i like to see,dedication to the cause,if in doubt try another beer somewhere else Ray

Ian You really need to concentrate and keep focused,maybe if you moved away from the bar towards the window there might be a chance you would see Tower bridge ,then again it will be dark, you have a place at the bar,it's a no brainer to me Ray P.S if you don't get any inspiration,you could always try again tomorrow,this time get in earlier that extra one may just work!!!!
