    I can actually use this new mobile version! I couldn't stand the old one but this is good. Intrigued to see the new PC version now too. Overall a thumbs up from me!

      Not any more it isn't but it did look a bit wonky as it got moved away.

      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?

    A friend of mine is writing a story set in a retirement home and she needs an amusing name for said home, any suggestions? "H.Ardly, A.Bell" has come up so far

    A personal shout out to any electrician who thinks it's acceptable to cut cable ties and leave them razor sharp so when I'm running hoses I get nicely cut up

      I was always instructed to turn the cut end around to the rear to prevent such s thing happening.

    Amusingly I was told today by a friend with horses that steam powered vehicles should stay off the road, she then says all heritage vehicles should stay off the road. She was not impressed when I pointed out that technically a horse was a heritage vehicle.

      At least steam powered heritage vehicles don't get spooked by discarded plastic bags lurking in hedges on windy days.

      used to live in an old cavernous vicarage which became heavily infested with spiders every September. Took the advice of a local and placed a single conker in the corners of each room, and, hey presto! No spiders

      The one I least expected seems to be the most widely popular one. When it's cleared out and layout work begins I'll put confers in there and see what happens. Thanks for all your help everyone. You can do it to the smaller ones in 4mm as well 3 link. My grange recently caught one which didn't climb it's web quick enough and was stuck to the smoke box for several trips around a mates layout, it got off rather dazed.

      I still say burn them with fire. If the whole shed goes up then you've definately got them all.

       

      I'm going to have to remember the conker trick, not heard that before. It might save me a fortune in sheds.
