Flakdrilling?

Probably fracking on the fly.

If so; rigs can be sabotaged... ;-)

Oh I diging big holes....

Well that didn't last long!

What's your chance of stopping him going to a party when he's 18?

That's a trick I suspect will be much harder to pull off.

Maybe Mad McCann could spare you some?

They are supposed to be made?

Collecting kits is a hobby in its self so don't worry about it

Certainly wet in our part of Devon, no thunder since earlier this morning, though.

You had me thinking 'narrow gauge' jam for a moment :-D

It's a great combo to go on toast in the morning.

I somehow read that as narrow gauge jam!

What *is* it with UK courier services? It's so unbelievable there should be so much ineptitude present among their ranks.

pay peanuts get monkeys or wages so low you have to be desperate to take the offer.

I guess so, Mick. I think the courier business as a whole is well past the breaking point already but yet the powers-that-be keep squeezing. And I do think customers do have a role in that context as well...

Indeed. R.I.P. Kenny.

Beep whistle peep beep whistle

RIP, Kenny. Beep, beep.

The Perkins Engine is worth looking at too.

What was the item ?

if it was an auction then it is legally binding and cannot be cancelled afterwards.

Mmm.. Has anyone enforced this through the County Court?

I am sure there are signs ststing there will be 2 lanes open in both directions for the summer peak traffic, they had better get a move on, unless both lanes are not open at the same time!!

They have changed it to say only 3 lanes over the summer, 2 East bound 1 West bound. Given the lack of progress I would say that was an ambitious target.

Fools and their money!

Kind of satisfying when that happens.

All in aid of a tartan effect!

When I went to the store, they were out of tartan paint, I should have asked for striped paint.

and a bottle of pigeon milk, Tim.

No, someone else did, that I bought the loco off.

I'm currently rebuilding 1 for a client that was aryldited. It's bloody awful

Someone who hasn't got a soldering iron. Or refuses to use one. Probably glues the electrical connections as well.

Oh I don't know. I bought my first O Gauge loco nearly 20 years ago and I'm still mostly modelling in the smaller scales.

Been to SpecSavers?

Don't try and suppress it Kris - I am back on 7mm now...zoom in zoom out

Depends on which side you are.

That must put you to in betwixt Camborne & Truro according to LiveLightningStrike.com

We had that too, and yes, that's where we are

Normal for Norfolk.

only if its with your sister....

Meanwhile, I'm awaiting some security screwdrivers....

ONly thing worse is when you buy something from the dreaded Amazon and they immediately bombard you with ads for the very thing you've just bought!

The email subject line was "Your new item* awaits"

*the actual product was named.

That's probably because they weren't serious about having it.

I've ended up owning a car before after a drunken eBay bid. Desperate times trying to get rid of the thing!!!

I more suspect that the winner was a fake account to stop a previous bidder winning.

Drinking and eBay are a bad combo!

You could do what some people do, and sue....

Muppets. Another reason why I rarely use Flea Bay these days. A lot of dishonest people on there.

You could always threaten to sue....

Apparently eBay are applying sanctions (quite how limited they will be however) and negative feedback has been left.

A local hero

Not like the postman who watched his mother-in-law's house burn to the ground then left a card saying "Sorry you were out."
