    Here's a White Rabbit, you know what to do with it...

      I wish that we could lose this crowd

      Maybe it's better this way.  We can write out all of the lyrics in a 'private' way.

      I think it is some sort of Russian plot.

    On a dodgy website I once used to visit, the private inter-member message button was carefully marked "Whisper".

     

    No one forgot to use it more than once....

      You might think so, I couldn't possibly comment....

      Thankfully, as railway modellers, our definition of "hot and steamy" is likely to be rather different from most people's.

       

      "Kettles" often seem to fit this brief - and have sometimes even been known to interest "D&E" modellers like me ... .

    4. Hroth

      Definitely hot'n'steamy...

    Its April Fools Day tomorrow.

     

    I HATE April Fools Day, with all the cack-handed, oh-so-funny "jokes" that get paraded about...

     

    Perhaps the 1st of April should be deleted from the calendar?

     

    1. truffy

      Or at least move the change to BST to 1 April. That’ll give the idiots one less hour to play around with.

    Clocks Forward!

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Forwards is easy, its the faff of setting REAL clocks back in October that winds me up....

      This "backwards / forwards" routine is one "tradition" I'd be really glad to see the back of.

    Whats on my mind?

     

    Too much hair!!!

    Has this mornings problems resulted in inter-member messages being re-routed to "Status Updates" again?

    1. Harlequin

      Harlequin

      Nope, just the usual. It would be great if Andy Y could somehow make the public message UI less prominent and the private "Message" button more prominent in user profiles. I think that's the main cause.

      I can assure you no-one has been messaging my inter-member!!

    Car went in for its MOT/yearly service this morning.

     

     

    Now just waiting to hear what horrors have been uncovered...

    We've got the "private" messages back, I see...

    1. truffy

      truffy

      It appears so. I don’t even know how they do it. :mellow:

    2. Mallard60022

      Mallard60022

      Do they not know how to PM someone on RMweb? I don't really care but it seems so 'public' and mostly uninteresting.

      Sign of the times methinks, people wanting to conduct their private lives in public

    Happy Solstice!!!

     

     

     

    At least, we'll slowly get more daylight.  Thats a Good Thing....

     

  12. Hroth

    Oh lord..... Only one week to Christmas!

     

    1. Kylestrome

      Kylestrome

      What's even worse, is that it's only two weeks to next year!

    2. Hroth

      At this point in time, I'm not thinking that far ahead.... :crazy:

      Did 'they' say which year!  The current situation certainly won't be all over by Christmas 2020 and I doubt things will be truly normal by Christmas 2021 (but we can hope).  I guess 'they' are always the optimists.

    3. Huw Griffiths

      "All over by Christmas."

       

      ... As some other posters have already suggested, that's what a number of people are really worried about.

    We've entered the "firework season" once more.  Eleven evenings of incessant bangs until the fifth and another x evenings because the fifth is midweek and they want to "party" at the weekend...

      Fireworks kill birds - they die of fright. There is no case for fireworks as a source of entertainment, whether in back gardens or organised displays. Time to get rid of them and move on.

    2. Captain Kernow

      Captain Kernow

      Completely agree, ban them. The effect they have on animals, domesticated or wild, plus the usual anti-social nature of the time that so many half-wits let them off, leads to a serious sense of humour failure.

       

       

    3. truffy

      It probably wouldn't be so bad, for humans and wildlife alike, if they were limited to the evening of festivities.

       

      We don't, or at least didn't, have that problem in Switzerland. Fireworks (sale and use) were strictly limited to 1 August (Swiss national day) and New Year.

       

      Their use seems to be creeping a little now, especially with kids. But not nearly as bad as the UK.

  16. Hroth

    White Rabbits!

     

     

    And a pinch and a punch for the first of the month if you're so incautious as to breach my 2 metre zone...

    Hope you all realise that there's only a few more weeks and then the nights start drawing in again.

     

    Downhill all the way!!!

      Is that actually true? I have always thought (but never bothered to look) that the evenings still get longer but the mornings get shorter slightly quicker, hence the day is shorter but not neccessarily the evening

    2. Hroth

      Hroth

      Can't really remember either, but the net result is that eventually the nights will start closing in on us again....  :resent:

  22. Hroth

    Looks like everyone's been listening to Smooth Radio on their Echo Dots this afternoon!

    The amount of document shredding I've been doing this morning, you might think I've something to hide...

     

  25. Hroth

    I've found a little bell that I've attached to my jacket so that people know when I'm approaching!

     

    I was going to say "when I'm coming", but realised that that would lead to wilful misunderstanding... :whistle:

      ...a 'Frog Horn' works quite well with them, I find :D

    3. LNWR18901910

      LNWR18901910

      I would have a whistle or a horn with me as an alternative. Maybe even the Yahoo jingle?
