      Get the train anyway, you can go into the city centre for dinner afterwards for very little extra

      And to think that the 1st May will mark 20 years since we lost him. I was never around to see him race but every time I see footage of him or even a picture I get goosebumps.

      20 years already? That makes me feel old, I remember watching the crash on tv when it happened......a sad day.

  5. Michael Woolford

    Finally, my Templot plan is starting to come together...only about 70% left to complete

  7. Michael Woolford

    Getting knocked off my bike by someone else's bike sliding across the road isn't the best thing to happen on a cold, icy morning :(

      Nasty; my advice: get it checked! Any impact can cause problems later on if something gets missed...

      Yes they are - they remind us of how good we feel the rest of the time.

    Hello Silverstone!

      Great view at Kemble too. :-)

    Just seen the Sainsbury's Christmas advert for the first time. How very poignant

      I've seen it for the first time too. And, JJG - it was produced with the Royal British Legion.

    3. Captain Kernow

      Even so, even if it was produced with the support of the RBL, I'm still not convinced that it is in the best taste to use such an event for commercial benefit.

    4. JJGraphics

      Lets hope that Sainsbury's paid a lot of money to the RBL

  13. Michael Woolford

    Major delays between Reading and London due to a signalling failure, currently estimated delay of 90mins and likely to increase.

    1. Michael Woolford

      Michael Woolford

      Now down to 30mins

      is this on your layout?

    Missed my train to Warley...whoops. Just about caught the second train of the day

    Need to remember not to inhale when opening a bottle of butanone.

    Night shift at Doncaster cancelled so I managed a good day at Bracknell. Train Home then beer.

  17. Michael Woolford

    Oh the joys of shoving timbers in Templot...

      What did the poor programme do to you to merit such treatment? oO

    On a big yellow train...

    On the way to Silverstone

  20. Michael Woolford

    One of my wisdom teeth is starting to come through. I hope it doesn't cause any problems. Having two teeth taken out for braces was bad enough with the amount of bleeding.

      Dental term is 'erupting' - for good reason! But keep 'em clean and you should be fine :-)

      You can spend unthinkable amounts on guitars. High end Gibson Les Pauls are

      Well done. The new test is more difficult sine I passed all those years ago.

    4. Michael Woolford

      Michael Woolford

      Thanks guys, I must have done something right to pass with zero faults! All I can say is, I'm chuffed to bits! Just need to find a car now, should be exciting.

  23. Michael Woolford

    Really don't know how much to spend on my first car

      Spare money goes to models as they are always priority, and spare money from that can go towards the car. But you can never have spare money from modelling, so in theory, no railway modeller should have a car.

    3. Michael Woolford

      Michael Woolford

      Luckily for me I am not doing any modelling atm. I'm planning and the layout boards will be moving home soon. I'll probably be looking at monthly payments which makes life easier.

      I would suggest selecting a short list of cars you want, and looking at the prices of those, then going forward from there.

       

      Alternatively, buy a Mustang!

  24. Michael Woolford

    some **** decided it was a good idea to drift out of their lane and smash into my wing mirror. Goodbye wing mirror and some obscene amount of money. Not impressed.

  25. Michael Woolford

    Some scum had the cheek to remove the screws on the shed to break in! I bet they weren't expecting to see all of the bikes heavily secured as they've gone away empty handed.
