  1. I've spent a happy evening wrapping presents, well out of earshot of the jig-dancing final!

      Glad that's all over, well at least until the revue show in the new year....

      Brussels Sprout flavoured Marmite?

      Better than Sprout flavoured tea...

      As i've mentioned on here before I have a big project coming to a conclusion soon. I predict the worst weather conditions for years during that time.

      At least its not Moggy.

  4. Spent the afternoon "watching" the snooker whilst writing xmas cards. The gum on the envelopes tastes like the exudate of putrefying slugs....

      Not the first time I’ve lost my trolleys if I’m honest...

      Well, when the 2nd one helps you find the 1st one, you can sell them both...

    4. Hroth

      I don't WANT to sell the first!

      Must admit I would go the other way and have summertime and double summer time as the light is more useful to me in the evenings.

  9. Had my hair cut today, reasoning that by time the really cold weather arrived, the insulating thatch will have grown back. Fingers crossed...

      Haircut and cold-snap: cause and effect.

  10. There are toast crumbs all over my laptop...

    1. sharris

      sharris

      Probably better than laptop crumbs all over your toast.

    2. Hroth

      Hroth

      Sometimes I wish the laptop would fit in the shredder slot. If it had been an Apple laptop, it would have been shredded long ago.

  11. Off on my hols. See you next week!

      People watch rugby which is a bunch of men grappling each other in the mud - very dodgy! At least blokes playing tennis is... clean.....

      You may think that. I couldn't possibly comment...

      For once, why can't we give up the defeatist attitude and get behind the team. Come on England!

      Hroth's comment was a clever joke but this team are not a joke and we really need something to cheer about. Eng-er-land!

      We can only hope they will lose, at least then we can have peace from this hysterical crippling sense of entitlement for another two years.

      Sadly, even if they lose, England can't slink home, tails between their legs. They still have to play again on Saturday.

      Even 3rd/4th place they’ve done good. All I are about is being better than the French.

  15. Oh Lor' will the horror never end?

      Hopefully not for another week. Just caught the second half, watching Wimbledon with the T de France highlights on next and Silverstone tomorrow. Not much modelling done this weekend!

  16. The ping-pong at Queens this week has been most enjoyable!

  17. Hermes Strikes Again! At least no Uri Gellered track, but delivered next door and chucked over their back gate. Obviously house numbers are a puzzle...

    1. Horsetan

      Horsetan

      At least you know where the illiterate are working.

  18. Yodel are due to deliver the replacement track that they bent in two at the first attempt. I await with dread....

      Stay away from the doors and windows that box travelling at 40 mph plus will land with quite a plop even if he gets it through the letter box. Did they want the other track back? If not it would make ideal US short line track if you straightened it a bit and broke most of the sleepers

  19. Why do I have to spend my time disabling things when Microsoft force-install a Win10 update?

      Unusual it is more normal to have to fix the things they have broken.

      You mean they like us that much?

  20. Package of code 75 flexitrack arrived this morning, almost bent in two. Its either the unseaonable warmth over the weekend, or ham-handed Yo#el. But Grrrrr. Lots of Grrrrrrrrr....

      Should have used code 100. But to be fair its not easy to get 25 yards of rack through a letterbox while driving past at 40MPH

    3. NGT6 1315

      NGT6 1315

      Only 40 mph, David? xD

      I was on the South Downs this time last year when up rocks a guy in an open top sports car clearly way too cool for his own good. As soon as he stopped he was surrounded by our little friends. He screamed like a girl and drove off in a hurry.

  23. Played Class 47 musical chairs over the weekend. Two Tone Green Lima body to Hornby TTS chassis, Large Logo TTS body to Lindisfarne chassis, Lindisfarne body to Lima chassis! Success! Hurrah!!!

      Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy fish n chips, which is pretty close.

      I managed to sneak in a fish and chip lunch yesterday without Mrs LNERGE finding out. Ususally on rabbit food otherwise.

  25. Right! Thats all the proper clocks set to BST. Why can't we stick to GMT?

    1. tractionman

      tractionman

      Because for some of us it'd mean sunrise at around four am in the summer!

    2. Tim Hall

      Tim Hall

      Also because the late sunset in the UK allows us to watch the rain falling for longer on those legendary summer evenings.

      Oh b*gger - it's now 3.40am
