      Still a lump in the throat.

    Tegan, where are you?

  3. Dave47549

    Apparently today is single parent's day. That's news to me, having found out a few minutes ago - & I am one!

      I got another headache-to-pay bill, if that counts? :cry:

    Has just eased Flickr's woes by deleting c.1000 unwanted decidedly average pics, now just two dozen remain (for the time being)

      Been wondering if that is the way to go, but I have 9000+ on there ...

    Rampantly patriotic England fans, It's now time to remove St George flags off your Citroens / Renaults / Audis / BMWs..

      What if the French win the damn cup?

       

      Croatia!

      Croatia!!!!

       

      (England should just tell the Belgians they can have third place and come home straight away...)

      I hope you have removed all of your clothes that were made in China.

      It's pretty difficult to buy a new English car.

    The people in power know what they're doing. Everything's under control. Believe. Believe. Everything's under control. Believe.

      Oh gosh, see - an airborne object with 'Danish' written through it.

      These are lyrics from a tune I first heard 25 years ago, so they couldn't be taken in any possible way to be referring to present day events...

  9. Dave47549

    Save pounds on expensive sound decoders for your class 66/67 diesels. Simply go on google translate, type in a load of 'A's & click on the loudspeaker icon....

      Haha. If you want a bumble bee translate it to Spanish.

    3. surfsup

      surfsup

      Nice. Try ARARARARARARARARARARARA in translate sounds even more 66 like. And weirdly thinks your writing in Hindi. Or Polish.

      Maybe I haven't had enough hooch, but it sounds like a woman saying ay-ar-ay-ar-ay to me...

    pair of bauxite HEA's & change out of a tenner. current rtr prices & chequebook modelling can kiss my a***!

  11. Dave47549

    Looking at a photo of a WW1 troop train preparing to load. And another taken just over a couple of decades later, of star-clad unfortunates also on their way to slaughter. And I don't see a difference between them.

  12. Dave47549

    Yawn.

      Not on here you won't, reality satire's frowned upon.

      Satire has, this year, frankly become redundant... ;-)

      Did Boris just arrive?

  15. Dave47549

    bought 'Modelling Scotland's Railways' last Saturday. I now need to apologise profusely to Mr. Futers - I should have bought one years ago!

      I agree, both his books are a good read.

  16. Dave47549

    I had a look in the Pannier Papers, but failed to see a list of rich tax-dodging b******s.....

      LOL. I wonder if Irwell Press is owned ultimately by a chain of holding companies in Bermuda.

  17. Dave47549

    Aaagh, finally managed to source 10.5mm wheelsets online. Would have been easier to have gone hang gliding on a washing machine!

    People like to run the 'blue' party down, but i'd like to say something in their defence. Thanks to their 'wonderful' policies, this week I can be completely indifferent to Hornby announcements, Black Friday & the Warley spendathon. Cheers Dave!

      Pure irony.

  19. Dave47549

    has spent an enjoyable evening replacing cruddy original wheelsets in a Heljan 26 with some decent ones set to EM. Might even build a layout some day!

      Kean Maygib all steel ones by any chance?

    2. Dave47549

      Dave47549

      No, that would have cost money (I'm in cheapskate mode). Used some Hornby 14.1mm's that I'd forgotten I had :-)

    Suited & booted, in a desperate attempt to avoid IDS's gas chamber.

    It's Thunderbirds weekend. Which doesn't explain why the Joe 90 theme is playing in my head....

    1. Mallard60022

      Mallard60022

      I like class 67s.....and those 57s that might still be used on the WCML.

    2. steve22

      steve22

      Watching Joe 90 as a younger man I always preferred the arrangement played at the end. Still do. Clever to have the two arrangements, each one appropriate to the opening or closing credits. So - which one is in your head; or have I just helped add another?

    3. Dave47549

      Dave47549

      Steve, it was the intro' (preferred due to the slight psych' tinge) but the outro works too. I best not put the two (intro/outro) together or I'll be listening to the Bonzo's all night... ;-)

      A huge shame! I met him a few times and his wealth allowed him to be a great philanthropist - as well as keeping our lost cause alive.

      condolences to all at Wolves, not many of the true Chairmen come real fans left in the game in England now, it's all megalomaniacs from abroad with dodgy money nowadays.

      RIP to a man who liked what he liked....I think I know the man who took over ...
