  1. Hi Clive, We live in an upside down, inside out and backward world where to access the content that we have all created has to be paid for so as to gain access. Don't worry, I guarantee it will all get so much more weirdly worse before it gets anything like better. I have pulled three cards to divine the future of not just but mainly RMweb, and also social media as it stands. Two cards jumped out in reverse they were the Eight of Pentacles and the Queen of Cups, followed by the Knight of Swords that was pulled upright. Eight of Pentacles, Reversed, A concentration of immediate returns at the expense of long turn success. The misuse of skill, dishonestly in business affairs. Diversion of business opportunities to improper ends. Queen of Cups, Reversed, She is grasping, miserly, or else a spendthrift. She pours her wealth into new forms of display, extravagant luxury, overwhelming opulence. She is narrow in her outlook and suspicious of what she does not understand. She uses her power to surround herself with sycophants and shuts out criticism or reproach. Her life is circumscribed by her material possessions and she is unable to rise above them. Knight of Swords, Upright, He is courageous, strong, highly skilled and at his best in a difficult situation. He indicates the approach of battles that must be fought and enemies who must be defeated by strength of arms. he is the archetypal warrior. I could explain why this is the case in much greater detail, and will do so if requested, however most on here would think me even more completely crackers than they already do, not that I care of course ! Gibbo.
  2. Hi Kevin, Have you not yet noticed that Climate Change IS the new religion ? It is part of a process that is known as Hypernormalisation. Should you not get any sort of reply from me it is because I have gone against, Guardian-BBC-Daily Mail-RMweb- Woke Mentality editorial and have been booted off yet another thread for not engaging in hive mind-group think ! Gibbo.
  3. Hi There, Get it while you can because global madness is affecting electric locomotives: https://www.railfreight.com/railfreight/2021/10/13/freightliner-takes-down-electric-locs-due-to-high-electricity-prices/?fbclid=IwAR3Zmw4or4RoLEtwL_A8PebZJsEAi4W81eSmDPxr2D81tZ0lfMZ14hN_Wqs&gdpr=accept&gdpr=deny You can't make this stuff up !?!?! Gibbo.
  4. Hi Ron, Surely, only the goons that trust the BBC wouldn't know that ? Gibbo.
  5. Hi Phil, I'd be more bothered about the increased ethanol content rotting the fuel system of your car's engine from the inside out. Gibbo.
  6. Hi Folks, Here Is Alexander Mercouris explaining it all to much greater detail than I am able to: Gibbo.
  7. Hi Folks, How about this for robotic brain interface: https://futurism.com/neoscope/chips-human-brain-neurograins Gibbo.
  8. Hi Woodenhead, The long term contract gas prices for Nordsteam II were considerably lower than spot prices are currently, however the USA insisted upon sanctions upon its building which the Russians did not challenge. The result effectively terminating the contracts at the original lower prices with non completion through third party as the reason. The pipeline was not finished in time because of the USA and the supply contracts fell through as a result. Should Europe now wish to buy gas from Russia it will have to do so at the new spot prices set via the exchange in St Petersburg at approximately four times the price of the long term contacts that Nordsteam II promised before the sanctions imposed by the USA. Conveniently even Gazprom's own storage facilities in Europe have been run down. Additionally, high gas prices make sending LNG from the USA to Europe, including Britain cost effective which is something that the MSM very rarely mentions for some reason. Снова обманули ! Гиббо.
  9. Hi Rodent, The locomotive was built for a friend of mine and although we since both looked into converting a coach neither of us have actually got around to it. Gibbo.
  10. Hi Jazzer, If you cut a John Deere in half longitudinally very, very carefully, do you end up with two Harley Davidson's ? Gibbo.
  11. Hi Phil, Are you aware of these ? : https://www.shapeways.com/product/72972X29J/0-148-cl-502-motor-brake-coach-1?optionId=63752013&li=marketplace Gibbo.
  12. Hi Paul, This should cheer you up. Gibbo.
  13. Hi Fritters, Could that be a consequence of misrepresentation of the objective observation or, just an allusion of the subjective due to the [side] effects of Nursey's medications detaching ones faculties from the conscious knowing ? Either way, in Bandit country, hardly ideal even if transcendental ! Gibbo.
  14. Hi Clive, I've found Haynes manuals to be a bit like that although I do like the pictures, especially ones that have spanners in the shot. That said I'm more a reader of Schopenhauer, I say reader, It took me nearly two years to read his big thick book that contains very small point text, only a few diagrams, worse still, no pictures. I've even got a special hat to make me look even more intelligent than usual for when I review such texts ! Gibbo.
  15. Hi John, As Freidrich Nietzche once put it: “Beware that, when fighting monsters, you yourself do not become a monster... for when you gaze long into the abyss. The abyss gazes also into you.” Gibbo.
