    Good grief but it's warm in the railway room this afternoon, all I've done is a bit of flocking and I'm drenched in sweat!

      Whenever it gets ultra-hot and suffocatingly humid we invariably start wishing for a thunderstorm to ease matters.  But, in reality, have you ever known a thunderstorm make the slightest difference?

    3. TT-Pete

      Er, yes? I'm sure I can remember storms being followed by cooler weather in my youth(?) Well, there's a 50% chance for a heavy thunderstorm forecast for tonight/tomorrow so I will attempt an empirical study. Still up in the low 30's at the moment, have so far used 3 pints of cold lager to attempt to alleviate the effects of heat this evening. Very effective well so far!! :^)

      Although Reading seems to have missed most of the thunder that was around earlier (could hear it but not close enough for lightning), it's 8-10C cooler at the University observing site than it was yesterday evening. That said, the thermometer in my living room is still saying 30C!

    Aaargh. Up for an early morning track laying sesh - but can I find the ****ing packet of rail joiners I bought specifically for this job a few days ago??!!

      Found 'em! (An hour of searching and then at the bottom of the box of track bits and tools I must have looked in at least 3 times during the search...)

      Rail joiners are specially designed to disappear.

      Indeed. Media is the plura of medium, which is simply halfway between excellent and terrible.

      And don't get me started on "Customers" v.s "Passengers". In any case "Victims" more fitting.

    Just dug the car out of the snowdrift it's been stuck solid in for the past 2 days and cleared the drive - we're free!

    Just had to bin 2 Humbrol tinlets from the 100s I inhertited from Dad as they had turned to gunk. Not bad going as they were 1970's vintage.

      I find a few drops of Humbrol thinners plus a good stir will revive 90% of old tinlets.

      Had to bin 3 recently as they had dried out completely. Managed to save 4 with some thinners though.

      I tried a bit of thinners, but just ended up with a watery sludge with solid bits in it, I think they're too far gone... :-(

    Aah, the season of Mellow Fruitfulness - and long modelling evenings! :-)

      It's odd how consistent this is, in households all over the land, you'd have thought that there might be some regional variations, but no, it's just the same here in Devon...

    :-) I discovered a bug that made my comment on someone else's status, appear on my own. Fullstop seemed quickest way of getting rid!
