  1. Woman Driver gets booked... The Germans do Have a sense of humour! http://safeshare.tv/w/ZXQqOdKCMp NO ENGLISH TRANSLATION NEEDED..(OR SOUND) JUST WATCH
  2. The cure to the problem http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VoyagerBlue-Contactless-Credit-Card-Shield-Identity-Money-Travel-RFID-blocking/221920700192?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20140122125356%26meid%3D577c49fec4904ac0b8356e9bfddfbfe0%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D221925298967 - although my contactless cards live in one of the plastic card cases from RBS, in my wallet. Each clear plastic "holder" has a piece of Lidl aluminium self-sticky tape wrapped around it and (touch wood) I have not had an "accidental" scanning problem in the 6 months I have used it EDIT - looking on Youtube for RFID card protector DIY suggest almost exactly the same thing!
  3. The cure for that moss problem - particularly prevalent in this area, is a Right-angle copper strip, about 3" on each leg, nailed along the centre ridge. Rain falling on it forms a weak copper sulphate solution and runs down to the gutter. Mine was done 4 years ago and there hasn't been a sign of moss since. Gull droppings form a guano/manure mix and encourage the moss growth. Moss on roofs/rooves and trees is a sign of clean air with little acid rain, so be thankful when I lived at Finningley ladies couldn't hang nylon tights out to dry - if it rained the acid ate them.
  4. Late on today after being involved in other things - our only visitors last night were 4 delightful and very pretty and polite mid-teen lassies, who took only a couple of sweeties each, said "thank you", and even shut the gate behind them. They can come again !
  5. The Speech Therapist - a possible sequel to The King's Speech ?!!! Over in the U.K. , a very pretty young speech therapist was getting nowhere with her “Stammerers Action Group”. She had tried every technique in the book without the slightest success. No-one was improving. Finally, thoroughly exasperated, she said "If any of you can tell me, without stuttering, the name of the town where you were born I will have wild and passionate sex with you until your muscles ache and your eyes water. So, who wants to go first?" The Englishman piped up. "B-b-b-b-b-b-b-irmingham." "That's no use, Trevor," said the speech therapist. "Who's next?" The Scotsman raised his hand and blurted out "P-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-aisley". “That's no better. There'll be no sex for you, I'm afraid, Hamish.” “How about you, Paddy?” The Irishman took a deep breath and eventually blurted out " London ." “Brilliant, Paddy!” said the speech therapist and immediately set about living up to her promise. After 15 minutes of exceptionally steamy sex, the couple paused for breath and Paddy said, "-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-erry"
  6. No - I was fooled by the Scotchlite tape into thinking that somebody had mandated all-round LED lighting similar to the LED running lights on cars for 'elfunsafdee reasons
  7. ...I bet that made their eyes water !
  8. Yesterday we had what we thought was a snow -bunting in the garden, but eventually decided that, since it was spending time gobbling seeds with the sparrows, it was a semi-albino sparrow with a completely white head and several other white feathers
  9. Going to be fun doing the lighting on a model of one of them !
  10. Really good to see you back home with the collies, Debs - and while I'm on here, I'd like to wish those about to be welded ,Ian and Sherry, Many Happy Years Together
  11. It may be worth a look here if you haven't seen it before - granted they are N scale but will scale up http://www.cke1st.com/m_train2.htm
  12. Before they do, contact them and say that it will be being treated as an un-solicited gift. You will return it on reciept of a pre-paid lable, and you will be billing them for storage at the rate of £2 per day in the meantime, and there will be a £10 shipping and handling fee - watch how fast they back down
  13. CLASSIC ! Thank you for putting that one on !
  14. The proof of the saying "Garbage in = Garbage out " !
  15. The proof that nothing changes - away back in the very early 70's, I worked on a RAF station near Bournemouth, and we had a WRAF corporal who was a RABID Chelsea fan - If they had won on a Saturday she would come into the canteen on Monday morning, punch the air, and shout "CHELSEEEEA !!!" and the entire canteen would explode "$H1T !!!"
  16. Zomboid - can I recommend a set of these as the cure to your problem - absolutely wonderful for solving the right angle corner problem - so good that I bought a second set - and a set of the adjustable angle ones too eBay item number: 111743806551 Best Jack
  17. Smiffy - speak to bridgiesimon, creator of Hobbiton End - he may be able to suggest suppliers
  18. If this one doesn't put a smile on your face - nothing will! This is really neat. Enjoy. Bet you play this twice. I wonder how do they do it. This is really the best fun commercial I have seen in years and years. https://www.youtube.com/embed/pfxB5ut-KTs?rel=0
  19. ..and next edition is Castro Country, so we may get some Old American Cars too
  20. A "Shite" is, of course, a contraction of a "Shiteload" !
  21. I have no problem with Statins, but do get problems with indigestion occasionally from Metformin - Doc says that is better than diabetes, and, of course, that is true!
  22. Not sure but it looks like an Enduro bike
  23. I have to admit I fancy the red thing at the left-hand side!
