  1. At the risk of upsetting a certain Captain Kernow..... I have just located the missing sausages that I thought my step-daughter may have eatten. Looking at the state of them I rather wish she had done... Only fit for the bin now! Note to self - keep the fridge tidy!!!

      You're lucky - Mrs Stationmaster still can't find the ones she was sure she had put away in the freezer. and it's definitely not the cats at fault - they prefer warm food.

  2. Why do Parcelforce, Royal mail and every other parcel delivery group turn up about 20 mins after the bin men take the recycling away! Looks like a run to the tip!

      Good on you for doing a neighbourly thing to help, many would have just taken pictures for farcebook.

  4. I thought that a hobby is meant to be relaxing? Today painting is cracking me up, I'm off to iron my work gear to relax from my relaxing hobby!

  5. M.O.T passed with only minor work to remedy the advisory notice! Happy days...

      Sort of a roasting peanut buttery smell, if I remember? (Other brands of peanut butter are available if I've got this memory wrong. lol)

      For years I was convinced that motorcycles and trains were the only methods of transport that didn't make me travel sick. Then one day I was subjected to the smell of MkIII brakes (Slowing for Selby swing-bridge on a journey home from York) and realised I was wrong.

      Burn your car clutch - with any luck it's made out of the same material. I did that on my Polo.

  7. Yellow paint! Why can't I find a yellow paint that looks like the Furness Rly yellow bricks? Would my buildings still look correct in brick red and black?

  8. I saw my first Colas Rail van last night (M6 Jc 35)! Could this have been anyone we know?

      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!

      Ah, now my office PC says it's been downloaded and is ready to be installed. We use Win7. Should we go where others have boldly tried to go before?

      Well... It seems ok, but it has wiped all my saved web site, user names and passwords!

  14. Wow. There is a desk under all that c#@p! I could use it for building models on again instead of the dinning table!

  15. The boiler is playing up! SHMBO said that we need a price to get it replaced..... Now I think either an 0-6-0 or 0-4-0 in the garden, turned into a stationary steam engine and piped to the house.... She thinks a gas boiler in the utillity room! Where is her sence of fun?

      WD0-6-0

      Meet in the middle, keep an 0-4-0 in the utility room

      Having got the price.... Any one selling an 0-4-0!

  16. Whilst it may look like I've been doing nothing on the modeling front, I have been thinking about it for some time now!

      Thinking and planing take up an amazing amount of energy I've found

  17. O my god. I think I've landed at "middel aged"! We have bought a caravan, and taking it away next week!

      Caravan? That's not middle-aged, that's a rolling roadblock.....

      If its a "atatic" its ok....if its covered on Chrome its ok.....if neither of the above apply - you are middle aged! :P

      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...

  25. Tooth ache. Not just on my mind but the side of my face, and the pain killers aren't doing any thing...
