  1. https://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/2023/geri-halliwell-horner-cbeebies-bedtime-story-reader That will be the fairy tale of gallant Sir Lewis and his trusty stead who set out to win the Golden Cup. But dastardly Max and his Red Bull kept knocking him off said stead. Just when victory was assured for Sir Lewis a lowly competitor caused an accident that set in motion a series of events. Dastardly Max's Fairy God Father, Jester Michael of the FIA, waved his magic wand and ignoring all the rules gave the Golden Cup to Max and his Red Bull.
  2. Pushing your trainer is over stepping the mark, regardless of how you feel. Then to compound it by swearing and being a numpty in interviews won't help endear yourself to people.
  3. Stroll having tantrums for being 1.1 seconds behind Alonso and out in Q1.
  4. Take one of the branches and do a Basil Fawlty on the little tyke! Absolutely no excuse whatsoever for mindless vandalism.
  5. Frank and Patrick were pretty ruthless with drivers. Adrian Newey left Williams as Frank supposedly was going to give him a say on drivers. As he new Damon was off he did his best to ensure he got the title he deserved. Damon held the team together after Imola. Frank and Patrick also hung Newey out to dry during the legal enquiry after Senna's death. Basically told him to fight his own legal battle without support from the team. Worth reading both Newey's and Hill's latest biographies.

    On Cats

    Our cats are all DCC fitted. We had a lovely petite all black female called Lucky who somehow wandered off without us noticing. About an hour after we last saw her we had a call from the vet as she had been found down the road, which was unusual. We picked her up but She had a stroke later around 5am the next morning. She couldn't get out the litter tray. Back to the vet and it was all over by 6am. I would urge everyone to get their cats chipped.
  7. A bit of a long shot, but do any civil engineering drawings of the road bridge at Arley exist? I'm just starting my Arley based layout and the bridge is a very distinctive shape.
  8. "Dick of the day" is awarded to joint recipients Perez and Sargent for driving like they are in the dodgem cars!
  9. Gutted for Russell, but best 20 laps of the year.
  10. A lot being made of two technical regulation updates that clarify what is acceptable in terms of front wing and floor flexing. Horner was quick to deny it had any impact on RB's performance. Time will tell.
  11. I have some helpful suggestions, but I think I would be banned for life if I wrote them here!
  12. I haven't cheered so much and laughed so hard at the same time. MV is in full on spoilt brat mode!
  13. Marko get his wrists slapped with a warning letter about his Perez comments. Horner asked why RB haven't made a statement. Usual Horner BS as apparently he isn't a team member, but higher up the pay grade.
  14. Mine arrived in GW livery as well. A quick run up and down the test track proved it to be a smooth runner. Super impressed. Now off to reinforce my baseboards as I can't believe how much mass there is for one engine.
  15. Our Wilko closes Tuesday I think. Always like the pick n mix screws, washers, bolts etc. But I had notice they and B & M don't do pva glue anymore. Our B & M is always under staffed on the tills. I've usually grown a beard by the time I get out!
  16. Didn't Noel Edmonds present it as well. I liked the chemistry between the three of them. But Clarkson needs to sort his units out. Used to drive me made when he would say a car had 50 torques more than the other one!
  17. And Tennant again later this year. His father in law is Peter Davidson. Talk about a Timelord dynasty.
  18. Received my sound chip today. Fitted and tested over a yard of track and it's lovely. Must look up the sound functions. But I can't change the address to 7808. I've changed CV29 to allow it. Didn't work. Changed CVs 17 and 18 to reflect the number. Nothing. I've tried reading the CV and it reads 255 I think. I have just tried an address change to 78 and that doesn't work either. Now I realise my ancient Hornby Elite may not be up to the job, but I've been changing CVs ok on my Quarry Hunslets. Any thoughts?
  19. Now those are proper cars @phil_sutters I love the Blowers. Nearest I will ever get is the 1/12 Airfix version I made. Hoping for a Bugatti 35 in the same scale for my birthday.
  20. Tell me about it! If it's that loud how the heck can you hear whats going on around you. I pick the youngest up from school it's a fair old walk and we have a bit of us time. But the amount of people that cut me up or cut the corner of a junction causing me to throw the anchors out is unbelievable. Even when it's my right of way these muppets just aim at you and don't lift off. Sam commented to his mother earlier that they were out to get us today.
  21. Again! He really isn't a nice person and I wonder how long before RB see him as a liability. But you could say the same for alot of the RB hierarchy and certain drivers.
  22. I didn't ask tbh. I just listened to what was being said about the details and sound chip. I'm trying to get planning permission for a sound fitted 93 as a friend gave my youngest and I a footplate/cab ride.
