      No excuses now then!

  7. has just seen two class 73s in my stock box (I don't get out much, Me!)

  8. I generally whinge about the price of things today. It's a refreshing change to congratulate Dapol Dave on the forthcoming O cheapogronk!

  9. £200 for a Hornby 2012 B/G VEP. Two words spring to mind, the 2nd of which is 'off'....

      Chris, yes - it's based on a highly complex algorithm. Well, actually it's solely dependant on what colour pen is in my pocket at the time.

  11. currently has a Triang EM2 sat on his laptop. Why did i buy it? - have absolutely no use for it, but, it is nice! :-)

  12. Wolverhampton & Solihull exhibitions today, had to go to work instead :-(

  13. Just EM'd my first loco!

  14. A visit to Marcway & now I have no excuse not to join the EMGS - but i'd hate to drag down their standards! :-)

  15. has browsed the plastic pig thread. Should i laugh or cry?

      Sorry, referring to Heat 25 of the Speedway World Cup, Gollob & Crump served up a treat! :-)

  18. is chuffed that he lost track of the month. Now looking forward to DEMU, Burton this saturday (thought i'd missed it last week!)

  19. Belle Vue 39, Dudley Heathens 52. The lads were rampant at Kirky Lane, the K.O. Cup's coming home this year!

      I think the Bees have their eye on it.

  20. Speedway eh?? Still recovering from last night @ Monmore Wood. Heathens 8 points down with 5 heats to go, yet recover to beat the Hawks by 8 - & that included a last bend e/f for Ash!

  21. 33035 on Soho EMuD last night. no idea why it was there, but i'm just happy it was!

      Cheers Jim, 'twas a pleasant sight on the way home from Speedway. Bumped into a very good old friend at New St as well (on his way to Wembley to work a 92 to Lichfield)

  22. 75 minute bus ride today, with nothing more engaging than the back of my fag packet to read. Mood not enhanced when someone gets on & sits at the front with a copy of 'Brunel, the Man who bult the world'. :-(

      It's rude to read over people's shoulders. ;-)

      Although i was tempted to mug him... ;-)

  23. has been reading 'Portraits of Castles'. Most enjoyable!

  24. has temporarily given up trying to source some 4mm 48xx & 57xx tank vents...

  25. has disposed of his DCC kit & is now happily back in DC luddite land. Time for another '80s revival!
