Tracking and signing does not work once it leaves the UK horse. pretty galling to pay for things and not be able to track or sign!

RM International signed for does exactly that. It just refers you to their partner company website in whichever country you sent it to.

Not any more admiles. found that out with two signed for deliveries from Ultrascale and brassmasters.

Slightly slurred comments would have produced a different outcome I am sure.

Hope you used two well known vernacular phrases, joined together - 'Allo Allo Allo, have you got a light boy'

That was brave!

Oh d

Oh dear. Somebody ne

Oh dear. Somebody never read the duty log at changeover...

Still, it's funny in a wrong sort of way. :-)));

I hear this morning from the HS that it is all the fault of the NHS and others for not having updated.....so where's the dosh for the updates then?

It's all down to priorites matey, the NHS is already getting 2.5 billion pounds A WEEK from us taxpayers

The update is a free download from Microsoft. NHS IT dept (sorry, NHS Digital) asleep at the wheel?

Are you having a go at Hornby? ;-)

About 6 microns! (but sea levels rising anyway...)

Garden 'ose, mon repose ?

When I lived in the UK, I used to receive a lot of (eBay) parcels at home. As I worked, and therefore often wasn't at home when the post lady came on her bike, I made an arrangement with her to leave anything for me at the village PO and just put a parcel slip through the door and I would collect when I could. It was then that she told me that for registered mail with a specific delivery time that they must make an attempt to do so, even though they know the person almost certainly won...

't be at home, as was the case with me.

On the odd occasions that I was at home when she called, it was a little annoying if a parcel slip came through the door but this gave me the perfect excuse to walk to the PO later in the day and collect my goodies.

It's back again, only putting out more heat!

Better get the Ducati out then ?

Ahh, UFO!

Had one would have one again in a flash, great fun to drive and just like a big meccano set to work on

Yes- always! If you want one get one soonish 'cos the prices are all going one way!

Have had one for over twenty years, great fun but at the mo I just wish it was back on the road...

Try air lock in fuel system, one of my hedge cutters does this. Remove plug crank over a few times then refit plug and see if it will start

Yep tried all of the above. Tried Kevpeo's idea most of the day!!! I think it may be karma as my plan was to keep my neighbour awake all day, just like she did to use with her party the other night!

I have one of those neighbours too!

I know a few folks like that; the wife wants the fish but they end up doing all the maintaining.

Get some Bristlenose catfish

I've got some Cambrian Catfish!!!

uncomfortably close to me...

" might be terrorist related " , good old liberal news. Betting they are not Catholics.

I wasn't exactly expecting the Spanish Inquisition.

Wow. Posted yesterday and arrived at my door today, and in one piece! For the very first time I have to say well done to Yodel!

Depends a lot on your local person - ours has been fine.

Agreed EWD.

<facepalm>

FAIL

On the up side, it got me down to the model shop to buy bridge parts!

Tried Curve Fever?

No. Is that like cold turkey? Or is it making curved track?

Get a life and go to the Snug, and then talk railways.

Truthiness?

They don't tell lies. They are guilty of terminological inexactitudes.

I thought it was being economical with the facts.

Christmas gift

I've got that T-shirt too!

It's one way of getting out of the 'food shopping' trip next time!

Don't forget the special sweets dipped in laxatives for the kids who don't make an effort

11B, maybe Boris is talking from experience :-)

Err..... Hadn't thought of that!!!

It seemed to be, but had a lot of stands and layouts with not a lot of room between them. But very enjoyable though

Rucksack hell then?

err..... yes

Add white to it.

There speaks the Master.

:-)

So I take it it's not a HST (yet)?

i had the logs timed at 168 mph this week too

Jack - No, not yet. Jim - If you could do that through Carnforth without injuring yourself, I would be happy with the logs for my wood burner!

Could this be that a "while ago" the UK had "Double Summer Time", when the clocks went forward 2 hours instead of the 1 we suffer with these days?

We think that th eUK should be 1 hour ahead of GMT all the time, and an extra hour "daylight saving time" in the summer months!

Funnily enough it was from Chile, and no hangover

I dunno what it is about Chilean wines. They always cause hangovers for me. No other country's wine does this.

retsina

What?!!!?

2016 has turned out to be a harsh year so far

Sad to hear. She'd had battles with cancer a few times in her life is seems.

John, I thought that was just RMweb? X-D

oh really, time to troll......

You mean I've got to post cat pictures there not here?

But, just to make it worse, SHMBO told me that whilst I do this she will do the ironing! Now she informs me that I need to iron a uniform for work tomorrow, O and can you iron me one! I feel I've lost in every way today...

Definitely whipped

That's a woman's logic for you!!!!
