    Fortunately, neither of my daughters have a clue. So I needn’t fear receiving this. Dodged a bullet there!

    To be fair, that’s not a characteristic that’s unique to the Hornby forum!

    That would certainly fit with the ‘budget conscious’ “design clever” ethos.

    Epsom Mad Funkers, if you believe wackypeedeeyah. But I think I edited as you posted.

    I work in the chemical industry. And when I lived in the UK it was somewhat embarrassing to refer to the national trade association, the Chemical Industries Association, by its acronym. Also EMF. Whatever it really stands for, Ecstasy Mother F*****s always sticks in my mind.

    Not only that but it’s not an issue of one retailer. Several seem to have been affected. Including the little local ones. Yet H has plenty in its store. Whether or not it’s illegal doesn’t matter, it still smells rotten.

    A mother at 50?

    Is this a medical advance or retreat?

      I turned 50 recently and can assure you all that I still have no more sense than when I was 20! :rolleyes:

      Its not the being a parent of a baby at 50 that's an issue, its being the parent of a stroppy teenager at 65 that would concern me.

      If you look like that you don't need any sense?

    Unnecessary. John may not suffer fools lightly, and he makes his point with “conviction”, but deliberately derogatory?

    Hornby W1 Hush Hush

    truffy replied to truffy's topic in Hornby

    I have one on preorder with an, until now, reliable retailer. If they, and my preorder, get shafted by Hornby I'll not be buying from Hornby direct. I've long desired a W1, but not at any cost*. This is not only a discretional spend for me, but an 'oooh-unusual' rule #1. I will get by without it, if that comes to pass. Like you, the recent revelations of Hornby's practices with retailers have rather soured my view of them (Hornby, that is, not the retailers!). * the cost in this case being an apparent lack of business ethics

    I suspect that you might want to make that fine print more prominent!

    The difference between a red stop sign and red cab light (other than intensity and direction) being that one is moving and the other isn’t.

    Irrespective of how many people search on what term and their demographic, if it sells Hornby will continue to crank the handle. If it doesn’t, they won’t.
  13. truffy
    Yep Kernow’s search facility can be a little ‘esoteric’. Searching for ‘Midland Pullman’ will return the upcoming Hornby HST, but not the accompanying carriages. At least they’re linked on the HST page though.

    Given that most of this thread seems to be about prices and what hasn’t been announced, I’d have thought a little frivolity would be welcome.

    Starting a new consulting project with a client who I’ve enjoyed working with in the past. Good times.

    Unfortunately, there's not enough room under my snug-fitting tinfoil hat to fit a F*c*book account. So I just don't bother with companies that only work through that medium. That said, I have had a reply to my email query. Apparently there was a problem with some decoders, which has delayed shipping. I am no longer a nonperson. I don't think that the journey back is going to be as straightforward for Joss Whedon though.

      Yeah, well he wrote that donkeys' years' ago, before global warming.

    Hmmm, it appears that those of us who don’t do F*c*book are non persons. I still haven’t had a reply to my email. Although I guess it was only sent yesterday.

    Most people’s carpet monsters hide small things. Perhaps Sam’s has graduated to altogether more sophisticated shenanigans.

    Dave’s not wrong to point errors out, like anyone. But he has been one of the constant snipers in this thread, so it comes across as just more of the same-old same-old. That’s all.

    Bojo likes pretty pictures. And it means that his carers don’t have to explain lots of ikkle numbers to him.

      I killed many off by forgetting to feed them - then had to hatch a new one to keep my son happy.

      It was a relief when my daughters grew out of it. Come to think of it, it was during that time when my youngest first showed signs that she’s not cut out for motherhood.
