      They could be training to become members of certain other forum sites - you know - the ones nobody talks about by name (certainly not in polite company, anyway).

      He's probably reached that age where his modelling's better than his singing. Bit like Macca, really.

      Fair enough.

       

      In my defence, I have been rather busy recently - I've probably missed a lot on the telly.

       

      However, it still doesn't sound like I've missed a lot - and to think that, in the previous 10 years, I've really enjoyed watching the darts.

       

      Nothing wrong with a bit of culture.

  22. just dropped my stock box on the floor...10 or so 2mmFS locos in pieces :-(

      Not nice in any scale when this happens, especially with good quality models, must be devastating. Sorry to learn it's happened to you. Hope in a day or so you can look at them with a repairable view point.

      Thanks all for your kind comments - I will look at them later today...it was one of those suitcase moments where you pick up the handle, and all the contents fall out sideways! - Next time I will make sure the lid is properly secured...

      Blimey Pete. I think the diversional therapy of not wiring in my case may be beneficial. :) Hope u sort it out and there's no low flying PW over Barcelona this eve! :D
