    Isn't having a big coffee after the all night essay session the wrong way round?

      Yes - you should have had a big essay after an all night coffee session

      Hopefully not too much coffee.

       

      You don't want trouble shaking off all the caffeine (or with the shakes).

    It keeps trying and failing to snow, but knowing my luck it will probably go full-on blizzard when I go out running this evening...

      All the more reason not to go out running, surely?

      Does one actually NEED a reason to not go out running?

    Just broken the 2000 word barrier in an essay for the first time. Utterly exhausted

    1. Horsetan

      Horsetan

      The last time I wrote 2000 words for an essay, it only dawned on me later that I had managed to expend that many words and yet say nothing at all....

    2. Huw Griffiths

      Huw Griffiths

      Often, the hardest bit isn't reaching that number of words - it's keeping within it.

    Just found out I'm getting a lump of cashback off my rent. The question now is do I a) be sensible and spend it on life etc. or b) more trains...

      I bet it has landed face down, which is why you can't see it - it's probably camouflaged against the colour of the laminate.

      Its attached to your sleeve after you ran your hand over the floor - like the vac hose I lost 2 nights ago.

      I keep thinking up things which I really want to do and then have to wait months for enough money to start!

    Note to Hornby: Loco drive should no longer be a 'special feature' of a model

    1. Spitfire2865

      Spitfire2865

      A special feature should be an engine driven by the cylinders! Would be an interesting mechanism.

  20. Frappington Jct

    Now I realise why people have been getting annoyed at Flickr

  21. Frappington Jct

    Now if Hornby were to put the B12 in the Railroad range...

  22. Frappington Jct

    Now, I don't profess to be an expert in the design and manufacture of resin loco body kits, far from it, but surely common sense would dictate that you check that the coupling rods on the RTR chassis that you supply the kit with don't come into conflict with a rather thin and important part of the body that you can't really reduce in thickness and really can't remove? Rant over

    On Wednesday I agreed to join an orchestra which I was in a couple of years ago and is being reformed. Fine. Easy. Today I find out we've been entered into National Festival. Joy...

  24. Frappington Jct

    One annoying thing about having a C1 on order - the amount of plans that stack up whilst I have no funds for them!
