Some of the US Bachmann steam locos were only safe to work on in a plastic bag. What ever you fitted something else pinged off.  

I can see people losing their lives trying this ;-)

ps. Where do you get a bag big enough?

Interesting reading until I reached this bit. Giving this man any credibilty made me stop reading.

Even Donald Trump, who is one of the most experienced property developers in New York City, stated that the building could only have been brought down by explosive as "planes would never be able to penetrate the steel beams."

unclods itself continually

21st century in a major league country and our local news had a report tonight that many children (about 7 to 9 years olds were shown in the article) living in Plymouth have never seen a crab or been to the beach.  WTF?

I can understand London kids might never have seen a sheep, but Plymouth is pretty near beaches.

Maybe the hirsute bottomed ship needed a decent sacrificial anode.

should be careful

Jeff, the slate rockface and stone quay wall from polystyrene pizza bases.

A bit of modelling over the past week.  Stone quay wall, timber quay wall, slate rockface and 3 unfinished attempts at buddleia making.

The quay walls are just over 2.5" tall.

The buddliea need more work.

On our first cruise someone who was some sort of senior police officer wore a formal uniform and in the lift afterwards some people from Liverpool  asked him which fire brigade he worked for.

Is that because they had seen his hose?

Jacket, scarf, taxi!

Now to matters arising.  Lightengine, by way of reply to your points, here is the transcript of the Messenger conversation with Harry on Tuesday evening:

Chris

Chris, no offence intended or instructions how to suck eggs. 

I just wondered if you had inadvertently answered a question that could only be answered by looking on FB.

06.29 the promised call came from John Lewis.  We'll be with you in 30 minutes, traffic permitting.  Haha I thought cynically.

06.59 they arrived bringing the new tv and taking the old one under their guarantee.

All set up now and raring to go.  Just got to establish how to watch Spurs play the Red Scouse on the 1st June.

thats'a silly point

goalposts and the 

and quite bitter

Chris it seems apparent that your efriend was "fishing" to see if you had been looking on his profile.

Little of note happening here. Just a question that I hope someone can answer. I've found 2 train based model shops in Brussels online and one further out. I'll have time to visit one. Suggestions and recommendations. 

 

There is a good one in Namur, 90 mins south east ish of Bruxelles, and also 1 in Huy a bit further towards Liege.

Good morning one and all.  Let us all rejoice at the good news from John and Sandy.

 

I’m up early because there was no point in lying in bed any longer trying to grab a few minutes’ sleep.  The probable explanation for my not sleeping is that I am in the doghouse with Harry because he discovered that I have been looking at his Facebook profile after he had asked me not to.  Where could be the harm?  Anyone would think that he had something to hide - like the day he got out of bed at 9.39 pm after a night out!  Whatever the answer, we will never know because he has now deleted everything except the photo of him standing on a salt lake in Bolivia.  In doing so he has destroyed what was by any measure a fascinating social history.  The lesson must be, surely, that if you do not want people to know what you have been doing, don’t put it on Facebook for all the world to see!

 

It must be summer, because yesterday I bought the makings of a salad on the fodder run.  Sadly the deli counter is no longer there but this did not stop me finding a slice of gala pie and a pot of potato salad to complement the staples of lettuce, cucumber, beetroot and tomato.  I have yet to try quinoa, which I see that ‘Spoons include in some of their salads.  I had never heard of it when a friend first told me about it and thought it was a Pacific island rather than a type of grain.  Later I had about half an hour in the garden and pretty well despatched the nettles.  There was no sign of the supervisory robin but there was a black and white moggy that I had not seen before.  I fear the worst.

 

Today I will brave the X5 bus to Cambridge for the beer festival with two friends.  The festival chucks us out at 3 pm, so we will go into the city for some record shopping.  It is on days like this that I have trouble recalling what is already in my collection but the shop can be full of surprises, even for someone with off the wall taste like mine.  The discovery that Russ Conway was top of the charts 50 years ago with “Side Saddle” set off a train of thought.  No, surely not?!  Let’s see what happens.   Perhaps I will sleep on the bus home.

 

Best wishes to all

 

Chris

Chris, a Facebooker has never, and still cannot see who has looked at their profile.

I don't think anyone seriously believed that City could do it TBH, certainly not amongst the fans and Pep was always guarded when it was raised. The only people who pushed it was the Press, no-one else. I was glad you did knock us out as it allowed us to concentrate on the other two and achieve a unique domestic treble! With the pressure at the top these days I think the quadruple will be just that, a dream, for any of the top six, and a nightmare trying to get it!

 

I'll be a pure neutral in the CL final, I like and admire both teams.

I don't hold much expectation for the final.  Having been a Spurs supporter since 1960, at times a decent win is a result.  

With Lucas Moura the last purchase our squad isn't strong enough to cover the injuries and bans we have had.  I am pleased but also fearful with Kane coming back because without him we have had great games and with him we have had great games.

We need to play consistently and not bottle it at times as we did when Leicester were champs and earlier this year.

Don't get me wrong, if the team turns up and starts playing from the 1st whistle we have a chance.  We can defend against the best on our day and going forward we can do damage.

I just hope Foyth isn't in the squad.  I'd rather play a man down because that way everyone would work harder and more carefully than him. 

evidently 10 yards would be a bit iffy. I'm 9 yard champion
