  1. Why do changing basin taps looks so easy on You Tube?

      Video editing?

      New parts instead of ones that have been corroding together for 15 years?

      Would you prefer the look of utter devastation when they realise they failed?

  5. Our cat has just come in and told us it's raining. Must be the first proper rain for 8 weeks; though I can see blue skies overhead, so more like a shower.

      Thing is, the BBC don't use the Met Office anymore, they use a bunch of cheapskates with a piece of seaweed and a Fitzroy Weather Glass. Its instructive to compare and contrast the BBC forecast with the Met Office one on their webpage.

      Our cat sleeps with her paws over her head when it's going to rain, and is almost always right

      'Suggest' to her that she gets a big car, then you've got transport for you and your mates to exhibitions sorted!

  14. Off to see some trains tomorrow around London. Want to do the Moorgate branch and take some photos at Drayton Park. Also see some of the new Class 800s.

  15. Just back from walking to our local shop. The chap there said they'd been busy with men buying flowers, cards and chocolates.

      It obviously isn't a PROPER model shop if it's selling flowers, cards, and chocolates.

      I'm not sure that's a good thing, unless you happen to be the cleaner.

      That's just decadent. Sorry, no other word for it . . . .

       

      PS it's at times like this that I wish I lived somewhere that chippies or whatever (or anything, come to think of it!) opened at unsociable, or even sociable!, hours.

       

      It's all very well living in the 1950s, but making as far as the 1960s or '70s would be nice every now & then!

      Got her a car, but the insurance costs more than the motor.
