* Thanks

Happy birthday mate!

Thanks Jeremy!

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!

The future's radio controlled according to latest MRJ.

Given up...fed up...time to get beered up...(joking of course) walk away and come back fresh....

Rich, it is always sunny, just sometimes the sun is on the wrong side of some nasty clouds.

Thanks all...looking forward to it...regardless of the weather...

Wet, what else! Still at least no one riots in the rain!

Hope you will still have time to do PWIAB!!

Are railway modellers normal people Stu?...No bail outs yet...PWIAB baseboards are being cut next week...

Looking forward to seeing Paddock Wood.

Glad you discovered it in time, Pete. Now be a good modeller and go cut the food and heating budgets instead :-)

Think Mikkel’s got a valid point there...

To be honest...new tyres, locos all go on my credit card so am spending money I don’t have in general...

Sun not shining in Monopoly land then?

Do you feel wealthy?

Did you have a hotel on Mornington Crescent?

That was rather good.

Blimey!

Count down to next week...no AA though

go on. you know it makes sense.

In a modern world, the fact there is a way of operating without isolated sections and with constant lights in locos must make it worthwhile...it's only a tenner extra per loco, which is about how much you'd save in copper from much less wiring. Go for it!

Sound - a reason for dcc and a sound reason for sound dcc...

Make sure and get on the right plane lols !!

He might stumble onto the right plane....but will his luggage?

Thanks all...hand luggage...so if that gets on the wronng plane...so am I!

You're Lucky model railways don't require plumbing!

I said I hate doing it...never said I was doing it !-)

..is it because it hurts?

a glass shaped like a bottle perhaps !-)

There are many shades to be seen in the clouds... even blue from time to time... or are they just variations of the 50 shades of he aforementioned overcast?

lol...

Liking your advice, too, Kris!

>twice< Double the inheritence for the younger ones?

I would prescribe the rest of the week off work and get plenty of railway modelling in! ??

It was a Jack Russell I was thinking of.

Horse - Not all of us are obsessed with animals :-p

I would hang on to it. Next year they'll want it all back again!

Just check the email to make sure it didn't come from some obscure African country

Spanish govt clearly doesn't need the money. Er... hang on a mo!

Happy Birthday Pete.

Many happy returns !

And what a great result !!

Thanks all - Rounded off the day very nicely...I will borrow my sons Chelsea towel to go to the gymn today !-)

You could always accept it then make sure that she could see very little.

she doesn't miss much Kris...I knicknamed her 'The Shadow' as she follows me around everywhere checking everything :-(

Does she know you're on here?

I must be lucky as I get on with my M-

i-L than my mother???

I get more modelling done when the MIL arrives as I retreat to the garage to hid!

well, last time, she gave me detailed instuctions how to refill our nespresso machine and the boil an egg...at 45 years old, had obviously never done either before :-O

That makes two of us. Red wine here I come. Hope you've recovered Pete!

Will try again tomorrow instead!

Likewise Mikkel

great movie...even my French (football loathing) wife enjoyed it!...

"When the seagulls follow the trawler, it's because they think sardines will be thrown in to the sea...."

he was a poet too...

Hijo di perra. LOL

¿Que?...

It's all greek to me .

Don't tell me you picked up your soldering iron by the wrong end! ;-)

Don't tell me you picked up your soldering iron by the wrong end! ;-)

You double clicked RJS1977

Excellent news Pete; a little more spare time now I'm guessing. Looking forward to the next read... hope to find some time myself at some point... the week after next maybe.

If the sun comes out this weekend I'm going to be in the garden spray painting etch primer and following up with a BBQ :-)

Thanks guys....2mmFS of course David !-)

actually Nick...am just about to order a C+ L 'turnout in a bag' kit :-O

Ooh, Happy Birthday for tomorrow Pete... I'll put the tonics on ice

Thanks Jon - I'll be shouting for Chelsea too!

Are you coming back to Blighty?

Good luck with the new challenges; both work and not-so-easyjet sourced. Ther's always Bombay Sapphire or equivalent at the end of each trip ;-)

@Steve - Sort of...have a job which I start Monday and am commuting LGW to BCN weekly..I'll update my blog this weekend with a bit more....

@ Jon - Thanks - I normally have a Bombay and Tonic during every trip so no worries on that one!

I think it had been coming for a while, RIP.

its still a shock when you hear though :-(
