  4. Daughter passed driving test today with only 1 minor fault at first attempt. I'm dead chuffed as I WAS her driving instructor

      My late father was a driving examiner but would not teach both me and my brother to drive as he did not think it right that he could have been seen giving us lessons.

      Instead he paid for us to get lessons from an instructor he had confidence in.

      ..and I then cleared off to Hong Kong, did some more lessons and passed my test there.

  5. Anyone know of any good model shops in Amsterdam?

      Another serious answer - the Benelux Railway Society has just produced a list of Dutch Model Shops but looking at the list (like London) there don't seem to be any proper railway model shops in Amsterdam

  14. Just had one of those annoying instances when someone used the disagree button on my post but doesn't say why he thinks I'm wrong

      tetsudofan

      Don't normally look at my profile but see I have 258 reds and 1 black - and that's because the guy did not believe he should have to wait in the queue until his name got to the top. Bizarre how some people think.....

  22. has been watching a programme about North Korea. Very strange place.

    1. tetsudofan

      tetsudofan

      Closest I got was viewing the North Korean watchtowers from the US/South Korean Side of the DMZ - all rather eerie. Strangest thing was inside the building where the north/south meetings were held with the border marking running through the middle of the room. Could also see the truncated train track running northwards.

  23. But that's pretty good as there's so much snow in Tokyo today and the roads are chaos

  24. http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=4470973066358&set=a.3929728175574.151619.1650818907&type=1 shows how low and nasty some people actually are. Just because there are others that behave that way doesn't make it appropriate. I can take a joke as much as anyone, from friends or even at myself but I do draw the line at snide people taking pops.
