    Needs a Scalefour member to 'front' my secondhand stuff this weekend - even though I'm demo'ing at S4um

      If you aren't already a member, I'd have thought that you could join up there and then?

      Also, if they've asked him to run a demo at one of their shows, some people might have thought a little flexibility could be in order.

      Got the shed book for christmas, fantastic read!

    normally I'd rather walk than drive a Vauxhall, but I need to get to Herne Bay tomorrow, and by the time the hire car was delivered it was a bit late to set out on foot.

  6. jonhall

    Has a Subaru parked on the drive again - order is being restored to the world.

      Commiserations - but at least it gives you time to save up for somewhere to live (Zinzan St isn't as bad as it sounds)

      If the job's going to be in Reading, presumably it's presently in Writing.

    Golden Arrow 06.58 tomorrow, but still no return times in the system for Sunday? #ohnotabus

  10. jonhall

    RTC strikes again, the Golden Arrow departs within 10 minutes of the earliest I can get there from the first train of the day, and arrives back so late I can't get home by train - and I'm in zone6 on the SR

    1. Satan's Goldfish

      Satan's Goldfish

      Well that confused me, as far as my head works RTC = Redtailed Catfish.

  11. jonhall

    RTC's Golden Arrow confirmed as running - interesting news is that 231K8 is booked for the Carlisle (sic) - Paris Nord leg - now thats a railtour!

    How is it possible that it would cost me the same to insure a T reg 911 Carera 4 as my T reg 1.5 Mazda 323?

      323 they named that wrong quite simply name it 321 and get murry walker to do the advert

    3. SHMD

      SHMD

      My Corsa should have been a 321 and sold by Ted Rogers

      Is it not time for a midlife crisis? There must be a Porsche 911 out there with your name on it...

  14. jonhall

    DB's website won't sell me the tickets I want!

    20 years ago I'd just set off for Paris as part of the first trainload of paying passengers on Eurostar.

      It's now in the Andromeda galaxy, having been spirited away via a temporary wormhole controlled by Zillons from the planet Tharg

    3. Londontram

      Londontram

      But that common body fixing screw that you have dozens of - so do the Zillons so as soon as it passes through the wormhole they send it straight back the first sign of which is when it drops in plain sight at your feet

      Found a grub screw on the floor in the staff room today. No idea where it's from so could that be it?

      Ah, aren't grandchildren your opportunity to extract revenge on your own children?
