      We've all been there! Mind you, whats the point in a model railway, if you have nothing decent to run on it?

      Shame it's the end of Bluestone 42 - Hopefully just this series and not the comedy, does feel rather as if it's sadly going though.

      The offspring works at Waitrose and still shops at Lidl. He can't afford their prices even with staff discount.

  16. It appears that my Black 5 is out of whatever mood it was in at Warley: it's happily running round the track whereas before it wasn't happy moving. And yes I am very confused

      Whatever you find in the cupboard on pasta. Cooked with a very long handled spoon to keep away from heat. George Foreman type grills are great until you shut your friend's hand in it while drunk.
