    I am about to have a pasty made in Cornwall, as I normally consume real Devon made pasties are there any precautions I should take prior to consuming it ?

      There is no such thing as a "real Devon made pasty" just poor imitations

      Classic cars are great fun and reasonably affordable even if you're young, I'm 20 and I've just bought a MK3 Escort Series 1 RS Turbo replica

    Mother in law doesn't like the smell of strong fish. Is it wrong to have smoked kippers for breakfast?

      It had certainly begun to list

      I'd certainly be interested to know exactly what happened, doesn't seem likely to have been an engine failure. Was the watch paying attention? Did they drag the anchor?

    This rather puts into perspective those people who say that they can't solder/use a lathe/build a kit etc etc http://www.bbc.com/reel/video/p06t5pd3/-this-might-freak-you-out-i-don-t-want-my-eyesight-back-?fbclid=IwAR2OlY9ncJmV1tVs6NLNcMPLDblvcNogl0HX5zbrJJm-0LN_lrfPrW7r5fw

      Inspiring stuff, its proof you can achieve whatever you want to if you don't let things hold you back and a reminder of how much a lot of us (myself included) take for granted. My brother was born without his left arm, he trained as an electrician and he's now the international electrical specialist for the company we both work for. Requested by superyachts around the world.

    I would advise against looking forward to anything, as the reality rarely lives up to the expectation.

    Can you run a marathon in Marazion?

      Even more repeats if you do a marathon on the (St Michaels) Mount, that would be a lot of circuits!

    Getting rid of my sons old chest of drawers today. Is it bad that I'm looking at them and wondering about turning them into baseboards??

    1. WD0-6-0

      WD0-6-0

      That's easily solved, just make the chest one support out of as many as you need under a baseboard as large as you like

      The Bluebell has (had?) Mk1 Sleeper Composite 2442 wh ijch was all over green. Maybe it's off for scrapping as I believe it's no longer required

    In case there's anyone I haven't badgered on to about it, I have now recommenced CAD work and am quite contently working on a set of bodyshells and parts to replace the old Dapol Terrier body and find a use for the chassis of terriers that are now going to look incongruous alongside the new model.

    1. WD0-6-0

      WD0-6-0

      There must be loads of small industrial 0-6-0s that could sit on a chassis like that without being too far of scale. Mainline or industrial I'm sure whatever you come up with will look the part
