John M Upton

Another reason not to bother with "social media"!

Exactly!

Apparently it originates from the construction industry where it used to stabilise full-size embankments.

I always use watered down industrial pva anyway. Useful in concrete one day and in model building the next!

Pardon - what exactly is 'shug'? Is it PC?

Ask a Scotsman, he'll know 'shug' - big and little.

'cos' the pund is dropping through the floor, and they think the 50p will be worth more?

Brexit?

Same reason people pay silly money for an 00 gauge Class 45 with sealed beam headlight?

Hear, Hear Mr Upton!!

With all the Abba references yesterday am surprised today's papers (unless I've missed one) don't have the headline 'The Winner Takes It All!'

Agga do do do......

Someone breakout the vuvuzelas!

Its ok, England will be coming home this evening!

There's probably a licencing fee involved somewhere. (See Hornby and Thomas)

I've got an Ertel Harold, that's probably N scale...

One way that's bound to work is if you get the boy interested in Mk1s.

Buy him a Gordons coach and later when he's not looking spray it chocolate and cream

Still tat...

I agree, all Right Royal Wedding memorabilia tends to be that. I've a Chas and Di glass tumbler which is excruciating in its naffness...

mucho tatto

Are they wheely expensive?

They bringing the Giraffe wagon back?

Build two Vannarrows instead of one Vanwide?

Ditto, sell 4, buy 1 or possibly 2

Nahhhh.... I'm ok with the ones I have.

Has a new one been announced?

That must have been a fiddly job! Well done.

Fortunately it was only the ones on the axles that had gone and the replacements were an exact match and fit!

Recently rediscovered a series of articles in BRM starting in October 2012. Or there is a good article in the 2nd MRJ compendium (p33-39)

Lesson No1.

Keep it clean, and use 50w min. All else will follow in time.

Indeed its the blooming phone. Utter rubbish it is!

I don't bother looking on here via the phone. Far too fiddly.

Didn't know Wp still existed.

We have Gigaclear available here in civilised areas of the Cotswolds 50-1000 MB download.

Towns still get BT FarmTrack broadband with 2.2 or 0.75 on a badish day

I take it that's 0.75 bits / minute.

So much for the much-trumpeted high speed broadband for all.

Is that the Cotswolds that used to contain David Cameron's constituency by any chance?

Would you like a chocolate bar to complement your stationery purchase?

Usually are!

It's the larger 6' x 4' one I am looking for but it seems prices north of £15 a pop and more for what is a printed piece of creased paper is now the norm.

yes that seems alot for one of those

Do people actually want them?

Unfortunately my car insurers seem to be stuffed full of them

You pay minimum wage, you get minimum effort.

Fireline: I've always been of the opinion that any employer offering minimum wage (no matter how menial the work) is saying "I would pay you even less if I legally could!"

Thank heaven Dapol got sorted out before launching the 68s!

They have to find something to do for all the 'systems development technicians' that they employ. The expression 'if it ain't broke don't fix it' is unknown to them.

If it ain’t broke, break it?

@__@ LOOK!

They cant spel or puncturate proper eifer half on them. Dunno wat the worls cunning too.

Becasue they use capitals and non letters in the title e.g "L@@K"

Or when they don't put a space between the two parts of the postcode. Probably the only thing about grammar etc that I find annoying.

It even affected Freesat, so intermittent telly during the News at Ten!

It's been taken over by Southern?

The wet string it runs on has dried out?

In the tunnel or in the daylight OR are you taking about a model.

Genuine article, had to turf everyone off before Trevor my driver limped it back to Brighton and brought back a fresh one. If anyone was looking for 313207 for haulage today they were out of luck!

They're probably mucking about with the formulation.

Perhaps 'elf an safety have had a go . . .

I use AV Vallejo and Tamiya Acrylics when thinned and easy to use with a brush.
