  1. Opening beer bottles with pliers - I can't be bothered going upstairs for the opener.

      As long as you don't do it with your teeth! That makes me cringe every time...

      I tried using my teeth once. Chipped a tooth, can still feel the sharp bit. One of the more fun ways of bottle opening (useless trivia time) is using a bayonet cover as fitted to the SA80 rifle. The cover has a couple of multitool abilities, one of which is a bottle opener :-)

  3. Do you ever have second thoughts and hope someone outbids you on the well-known auction site?

      Just retract the bid ... I know it's not in the spirit of things, but when is ebay ever in the spirit of things anyway ?

      I just go for the kilt and Jacobean shirt these days.

      Damn sight easier!

      Same here. I hate ties. Useless piece of kit, aren't they?

  7. A pack of coyotes having a discussion about something just along the street.

  9. I've just included 'January 2015' in the name of a new folder I've created. Do you remember when we were looking forward to January 2000?

    1. Ozexpatriate

      A bacon butty in Paradise would be a sausage sandwich, then

  11. Saw one of these http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=510024&nseq=1 on the CPR in Coquitlam today. Unfortunately, I didn't have a camera with me.

  12. Pineapple Express approaching!

  13. You've got to love 'the bonfire in the cab'!

      I always find mine are B awful after a lot of soldering.

  15. Driving Houston freeways on a very wet Saturday night, in a large, unfamiliar car is not fun.

    1. Captain Kernow

      So not quite the lure of the open road, then?

      I share your pain. Been there done that about 18 years ago. The Sam Houston in heavy rain isn't much fun to drive.

  16. Saw my first Canadian Pacific GP20C-ECO today, light engine coupled to a 30 year old SD40-2. (Sorry, no picture)

  17. is in "Beachcombers" territory.

  19. This afternoon, my wife and I 'topped' the cypress hedge between us and the neighbours - cut it back to about 12 feet high. Neighbour has just come round with a bottle of wine - a nice gesture, we thought.

      Our neighbours just brought round some genuine Indian tiny sweet bananas and proper Indian tea - do you think they're trying to tell us something?

    4. Crisis Rail
  20. NASCAR on a road course (Watkins Glen) this weekend -that's always fun!

      I give Ambrose a good chance.

       

      After all, he has a good record on road circuits.

  21. That was outside the penalty area!

    1. Platform 6

      I think many may also be people who chance upon RMweb via Google hits?

    3. Astockfan101

      Astockfan101

      Yes because rm web always seem to pop up when you search for something!

      Some of these guests might be members who haven't signed in. I do this a lot - here and on FreeRails.

       

      Nothing wrong with being on MR sites - but it takes time to log on and off (time I don't always have).

       

      Some people haven't joined yet - they're welcome.

       

      Some banned ex-members might also be checking if anybody's daring to criticise them. Relax - they're all **##!!**s - and we're not about to join them.

  25. Talladega freight trains!
