  1. This was featured in CM or RM, a long time ago, possibly around the turn of the century, and I had great temptation, but couldn't squash it down enough to suit my available space. AFAIR their version fitted into an L shape
  2. Mick - I'd very seriously suggest swapping that right-hand turnout top left, for a left hand one - you have currently a horrible dog-leg through there. TBH it wouldn't hold my interest long enough to build it
  3. At Last it's solved... The Aisle, The Altar, The Hymn Through the ages, men have been trying to unlock this mystery: Why do their wives, who accept them just as they are before they get married, begin the quest to change their behavior and life-style once their vows are exchanged? Finally, the riddle is solved. A social-scientist has arrived at this simple and logical explanation. When the bride, accompanied by her father, starts to walk slowly down the long aisle, she sees the altar at the end and hears the choir singing a hymn. Walking down the aisle, the conditioning process starts where the brain absorbs these three stimuli: Aisle, altar, and hymn. She becomes mesmerized as she continually reinforces these perceptions: Aisle, altar, hymn... Aisle, altar, hymn... Aisle, altar, hymn. And finally, as she stops beside the groom, the conditioning process is complete. She looks up at him smiling sweetly and keeps saying to herself: "I'll alter him!" HERE ENDETH THE LESSON
  4. I have to say I'm amazed that nobody has mentioned the very best TV program of all ( which really should have had, but didn't, an adult version) VISION ON! Tony Hart was a man with incredible vision and imagination and probably inspired more kids to draw and paint than anyone else I can think of. Take Hart was good, but never achieved the heights of VO
  5. Fortunately they rarely hide in Aussie dunnys!
  6. Like "she made me rock 'n'roll again" - good redneck rock! Thanks for the introduction!
  7. one for NGT6 1315 https://www.facebook.com/woodworkingcrazy/videos/vb.1718931084994983/1753669278187830/?type=2&theater
  8. Tony Re your earlier post about trying to sort out MILs visa - Radio 4 Lunchtime today says there are BIG problems with the website with attempts being made to allow people to apply on line and then pay on arrival - a listen may be of use to you Best Jack
  9. "There was a nasty little biting thing here in my mud wallow a moment ago - now where's the little bu99er gone?"
  10. The North wind doth blow, and we have got snow - and a garden full of birds gobbling whatever is thrown out for them!
  11. Possibly remnants of plastic bag melted all over exhaust pipe and silencer - if so, it will be fun to try and get off!
  12. Several Large ones in Alness (22 miles north of Inverness) this morning - though I appreciate that may be rather a long way for people to come!
  13. Ed - I had a feeling that the "top man" might well feel that spontaneous abortion might take place long before a full term delivery - They have undoubtedly made the right decision for themselves and "Pip" - You are helping simply by offering your support, despite feeling helpless - even if you were able to travel there would be nothing else you could do. I look forward to hearing of better news from them in the reasonably near future
  14. John - a possible cure and an alternative use for liner - http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/3354-jacks-in-or-shortliners-shortline/page-9post 207
  15. When my lady learned to drive (some years ago now) There was NO requirement to teach the ability to reverse into a space between two cars in the street! This is apparently why so many people drive round and round until they find a space that is big enough to drive into forwards, and why many vehicles are so appallingly badly parked, frequently across two spaces in supermarket car parks - and for a rant - WHY do so many people insist on walking, or driving, behind cars in the process of reversing out of parking spaces??? It is reaching the point where parking sensors are a requirement and not a luxury - I thanked my guardian angel this afternoon, that I have them, in my local Tesco when two silly tarts walked past with their noses buried in texting on their phones
  16. Somehow there seems to be something appropriate in the body text under the headline BIKIES PROBED AS BULLETS FLY AT STRIP CLUB Fears of tit-for-tat violence have emerged after a bouncer was shot outside a strip club,
  17. Gentlemen & Ladies, I offer this purely for the beautiful Eyecandy, and in no way with any political message so I hope that it doesn't offend Andy, or the Mods sensibilities, or those of anyone else. I found it on the RRL forum https://www.youtube.com/embed/B2AEkfjc6-o?feature=player_detailpage
  18. John - I think the correct description is "Teflon non-stick baking sheet" - I have just looked in the cupboard and my lady has donated a pack - we have plenty - PM me your snail address and I'll put it in the post (no charge)
  19. The Morrison one is as Nearholmer describes - similar thickness to a sheet of paper - I find that a single sheet stuck to the base with the rubbery sort of Evostick seems to work - I have never needed a second sheet on the bottom of the sliding surface
  20. ....and watched auzzie rules football and Neighbours
  21. There is still plenty of time for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere https://www.youtube.com/embed/xKy2lLNQYrI?rel=0&iv_load_policy=3&showinfo=0
  22. I suspect that may well be what it is used for. Provided it has a slippery plasticy coat each side it should remain flat. Non-stick oven liner works well - I only suggested Morrisons because that is where I found mine
  23. Re Tufnol - go look in B+Qs offcut box - they frequently have offcuts of MDF with a formica-like/plasticized printed facing with floor planks printed on it - It works just as well. I usually get charged £1 for about 8 feet of it. Also recommend a trip to Morrisons for a non-stick oven liner which will provide a good slippery surface for it to slide on - I find it can be attached in place with Evostick
  24. ID (Flavio) - just caught up with your post - there was a very interesting program on Radio4 yesterday lunchtime about food for those who run and carbs and protiens - apparently current thinking suggests that man was designed to run, even women and children were long distance runners and could out-run/run down antelope over long distances - and the diet of Kenyan atheletes who get up and run 40km(in two hours!) and then eat , virtually, a bowl of rice EVERY day - and do another 40km run before going to bed. It was part of the Food Program series with Dan Saladino - not sure if you can get it through IPlayer
