      I work in a B&Q and our store's paint mixing machine sounds like a diesel locomotive - not sure of which class though!

  4. The 3000 plus brand new Jaguars ive been watching get scrapped are from the China dock explosion in Tianjin last year, even though they were a mile from the explosion they never went through customs and were written off there on paper, so had to travel back from China to be scrapped. Sad to watch.

      I am going to feel really smug about recycling my plastic milk jugs knowing I am so much more caring about the world than anyone involved in that farrago. And if any politician tells me I'm not doing enough I can suggest where he might shove a Jaguar.

      But your not doing your best. I put my glass milk bottles out for the milkman to re-use.....

      Sadly no milkman calls these days.

      Would you like a Jaguar?

      What happens if I am over confident already? Do I need medication?

    2. Captain Kernow

      Captain Kernow

      No Herr Doktor von Quackenburghofmeister, this is a new condition called 'confident-stupid'. It affects some, not others. I suspect it has baffled medical science so far.

  8. Just had first ever eye test and got my first pair of glasses, feels wierd but so much better.

      12 hour shunt turn for me tomorrow too

    2. Michael Delamar

      Michael Delamar

      Shunting rakes so they are uniform, ie all door catches on one side. Takes a long time and makes very little difference really but got asked to do it.

      When chipping a loco, cut the purple wire - or was it the red - or the black?

       

      Come to think of it, I've forgotten myself in all the excitement - cut the lot - what can possibly go wrong?

      It's the red wire, no! It's the green one, no! it's errr....

      I may not have said Vegetenarians are mad, but I bet at least some of them are, and just because I mentioned a mad Sausagarian, doesn't mean all Sausagarians are mad ;-)

      remove it from the track for about an Hour, it has happened to me in the past, and this seemed to re set it, all the best.

      Find a house with a big garden and build an extension two storeys at least 14 ft wide railway room below master suite above.

      You can buy my house when I pop my clogs and you'll get the train room you want.....but you'll also get a garden railway thrown in.

  19. I thought the hardest part would be getting a mortgage, turns out its finding a house I like, getting frustrating now.

      Perhaps it would not be quite so bad if they were talking about something useful, such as the livery choices for new RTR releases.
