    The first law of superglue is that the item you are attempting to glue will always stick to your finger before it sticks to the surface you are trying to attach it to.

      "the item you are attempting to glue will always stick to your finger before it sticks instead of sticking to the surface you are trying to attach it to."

      Fixed it for you.

    As the street's binfluencers we seem to have messed things up this week.

      What an opportunity for mischief.

       

      Put the wrong bins out early, wait until the neighbours have copied you and then, under cover of darkness, switch to the correct bin ready for the early morning collection.

    Further to last night's announcement that I would today be announcing that we are going to make an announcement tomorrow still holds true. I'm also delighted to announce that Gold and Premium members won't have to wait until tomorrow for the announcement and that I am happy to announce that they will be able to access the announcement later today*.

     

    There was a small clue in yesterday's announcement so another small one would be to say it's 72 on the 30th November.

      Now there's an idea. A negative wishlist - things that you DON'T want to see produced in the new year....

    If your box room is 9ft long don’t make your boards 9ft unless you’re VERY confident in your woodworking skills….!

      It is an act of the purest optimism to think that the room's walls are consistent in length, straight, vertical and at right angles anyway.

    Anybody fancy setting up a fake 'consultancy' firm, maybe in the railway operating field? I was thinking maybe paying me a daily fee of around $10,000 per day...I mean, £10,000? If you think that's too cheap, please let me know? RSVP 'Pink' c/o The Funny Farm

    Of course the opposite to finding things you forgot you bought is can't find something that you thought you had...

    Swear I had that Railway Modeller magazine from 2013.

      If you think that is bad, I'm missing a loco that was put to one side when the layout was in its putative stages. Can I find it now?

    Just had a Met Office warning of yellow rain.

     

    Something like that, anyway...

      Yes, we've just had a 7-hour yellow warning because "there may be a heavy shower and gusty winds". The Met Office are officially a load of wimps!

      A double Fairlie is cuter than a pannier tank.
