  1. In Vienna, having Wiener schnitzel for the 3rd time in 2 days, when meeting Wienese customers it's rude not to eat their reccomendation

  2. I struck gold... I've just found 4 full sheets of HMRS sheet 14

      Are they Methfix?If so would you consider selling one- I've been trying to get hold of sheet 14 in Methfix for over a year now!

      If this is the BR sheet, I've got two of the Pressfix type in a folder in a cupboard. They've been there for years and I don't suppose the Pressfix backing will work now!

      It sounds like, in the past, you hoped to miss them as often as possible.

      It got me how the airline claimed the passenger was "disruptive" - then used law enforcement officers to drag him off a plane he was booked to travel on.

      It used to be that once fully booked, others were 'standby' who could be bounced off before boarding, however 'United' seem to decide that their employees have higher priority than fare paying travellers-now we know

      All United needed to do, was increase the offer.. someone will eventually take the money, it is after all supposed to be voluntary deboarding.

  9. My 6 year old daughter has "borrowed" my paint brushes

      It's usually when you're in transit there that stuff gets lost - might be the Lisbon end's fault this time

      The main railway station is well worth a visit and there is also a very good railway museum not far from it too.

      Why is Arkansas pronounced Ark-en-saw, yet Kansas is not pronounced the same way.

    4. PhilEakins

      PhilEakins

      Because the Kansas Chutterbug doesn't sound at all right.

      Yep, it fell behind University and 10 years living abroad, getting married, having a child then rediscovering model railways only to find Bachmann completely revamped the Jubilee twice...

      You're looking at the wrong heads. Look at the pedestrian ones, and watch for the amber bar.
