      I'm still trying to work out how you get a car to fit in a tuba. Presumably it goes in from the wide end, not the mouthpiece end...

      I've been very impressed by the layout swallowing capacity of a Focus estate.

      Have you seen "Serenity" the film that follows on from the TV series?

    3. Jon020

      Jon020

      Serenity is worth a try... you should be able to pick a copy up cheap these days! Mine came with some nice postcards of directors artwork including a ncie shot of the boat "Serenit"y herself

      Another vote for Serenity - mebbe a bit less tight than the series in places, but they spent their money really well.

  8. Going for a half day off roading with land Rover experience tomorrow, really looking forward to it

      Which site? I've heard good things about the Land Rover courses. If you've not been properly off road before you'll be impressed at what they can do.

      I actually took the tuba to the dealership to see if it would fit in. The salesman said hed had a few odd thinng brought along including a goat, but this was a first.

      Great news for Jess about the ramp; it`s quite a hop up and down from any Landy.

      Its an accumulation of festival going with other known individuals of the MMRS / RM Web, lets just say we tied one on and Im now paying the price. And yes, feeling so rough cant do band nor do any modelling.

  14. Cant really say ive paid much attention to gymnastics before. Very agile and skilled Im sure, but i cant say i will be paying much attention in future either.

      Well get another one then, doesn't matter what type as long as it's got a green oval and LUCAS smoke in it's wiring, just don't let the smoke leak out of the wires, that's what I was told.....

      "Ale" & "Bright" are OK, but not keen on the bitter. Much prefer Branscombe's "Branoc".

    1. davefrk

      davefrk

      Surely you'll need to convert it to P4 for the new layout Andy, I'll see if I can find a photo of one at North Ballahulish.... Eh, nop...

    2. Andy C

      Andy C

      The problem would be the axle weight load limit on the Bridge Dave. So to EM it goes for an occaisional thrash round New Hey and on Glaisden running the "special"

    3. davefrk

      davefrk

      Okay, and I might let you gently trundle it round Wharfeside in 2014, if it's finished then. The layout not the loco....

  24. I think a new layout just might have been born, and its a complete change of scene for me!

      What is it about the Company that both you and my SWMBO work for, she doesn't like Mondays either. But then she doesn't like Tuesdays or Wednesdays and the rest of the week is pretty poor aswell.

      Andy C

      Now as it happens Dave I'm having a particularly fruitful day so its a good Monday! Still a pain missing that half hours kip though, may just fall asleep on the computer screens this afternoon.
