A Gingerbrad Man sits inside a Gingerbread House. Is the house made of flesh? Or is he made of house?

What does one actually have to do to a Hornby class 110 DMU to make it run nicely?
-
Relpace the wheels. I replaced all of mine EXCEPT the ones on the power bogie with a pack of newer Hornby ones, the other two coaches run smoother and the pick up is much better on them than the old 'silvered' wheels, made a huge difference. I only did those as that's how many axles were in the pack, and it is a huge improvement. No doubt better drive bogie wheels would improve it more.

Having spent the best part of an hour on the floor, I have located the screw from my Bachy 37.

Managed to lose one stone. Very happy. I can't believe just how hard it is to lose weight in middle age.

Has just had a rather tasty vegetarian haggis...

Is wondering whether or not to use the crisp new five pound note in his wallet to purchase this packet of veggie sausages...

So someone says they're going to complain about me at work because I said was offensive to them. The offensive phrase? "Have a nice evening". I give up.

Mobile phone: ring-ring. Hello. My names Julie and I understand you have been involved in a car accident. *****! How do we stop this outrageous, privacy invading rubbish?

(although they've still not beaten O2 who phoned me on my car phone one day, to suggest changing from PAYG to contract, as I'd been using it more recently. Since usage varies, I declined, but she still tried to sell me a handset upgrade and data package. "No, its a car phone". "But you might need the data if you're lost or broken down". "But how would I use it, its a car phone..." "What handset is it?" "A Peugeot 607...")

In a similar vein to Horsetan's 090 idea, I occasionally (when I don't just hang up) stop them at the beginning, tell them I'm happy to talk, but "because of the number of timewasters" I charge a fee to cover my time, something like £25 per call including this one, plus £1 per minute after the first ten minutes, and ask to what address I should send the invoice, if they are happy to continue talking on those terms. They never are...

Dipping the glue brush into your coffee rather than the Mek-Pak doesnt work.

Just watched 'To the Manor Born' on the Yesterday channel and noticed that at a scene at the local station the TV channel had blurred out an old Jimmy Saville British Rail poster!

Thinking of having a stab at being a bus driver. Needing to bring in a bit more bacon that I currently do!

It's nice to have a backlog of holiday snaps to edit. If only I had the time.

Operation on my hand today, couple of weeks off work, lovely jubbly!

Any other Scottish railway fans having trouble getting on the Caledonian Railway association web site and forum? All I keep getting is a “server not found” message

It's Friday! And there's still some miserable gits out there. CTFU.

Repeat after me: "I will not become a chequebook modeller. I will not become a chequebook modeller..."

Sooo, today's successes: 4 more class 156 interiors painted. Today's failures: Still not managed to get the lights to work on my 155, nor have I found a suitable coupling that's not too long or short. Re-layed and painted some track, but no track rubber to clean and test it. Also spilt paint whilst doing it. Started painting a class 110 interior, the matt paint dried patchy and glossy. Burnt fingers on soldering iron. Fried a decoder AND an LED/lighting circuit. ...

Just bought 600 metres of cable for the layout.... will it be enough?
-
was reminded, when watching "The Lady In The Van", of a similarly malodorous old bag who used to live in Bayswater. Whenever she walked into the Post Office, the place would empty rapidly because she smelled so bad. I wonder if she ever went to model railway exhibitions? #alanbennett
-
Yep, I can think of one or two like that too. One in particular, bad enough that if the bus is busy, I'll try and avoid picking her up if I can - of course, that makes me a mean nasty bus driver, for not picking up that sweet old lady at the stop... but how long can you hold your breath, I ask. That usually shuts them up!

Interesting trip to Preston, de-branded 153s with TPE banners in the windows
