Easter eggs will be on sale soon!!!

Hornby 2012 announcements due in a week, then.

My work colleague just gleefully showed me an iPhone app telling us there's "101 sleeps to Xmas"... Arrrrghh!

Andy has been informed.

The server has been playing up since last monday!

well their are 477 users online!!

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!

What is someones urine is another's pot filling with gold

I've searched and searched, I only found fan extractors and stud extractors but no urine extractors, what catagory do they come under ? ;-)

--

Name and business sold to someone in Scotland who promptly made a total cock up of it and closed it down according to the RMWeb thread I just discovered.

Just another one in a growing litany of failures.

Is that like International Rescue but better looking? (or so it seemed when I did a Google image search!)

It's on the blink BIG time

I got on - but it's full of black Friday offers.

Must be all that activity last night which amused me no end.

I have been getting multiple payment received confirmation emails for the same transaction over the last few days.

Working fine here!

Nothing ever went wrong here, apart from a seller not responding to questions about postage charges...

It works out at close to 20% overall, as PayPal takes its pound of flesh as well.

No wonder so many sellers are starting their items way over the odds or charging heavy P&P!

They charge on P&P as well now.

It's a train and it isn't, too?

This was an undecorated Proto 2000 SD9 (rare to find in the UK) and I am happy to report, it is complete, works a dream and all the bits are there.  Just baffled about the cellophane...

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

Same thing

I love marmite

So did I until I had some help from a friend. Learned to love it now!

All the local newspaper websites are so advert heavy that it made it impossible to read the stories hence why I installed the adblocker, now they are getting all arsey about it!

My mate once got a virus just because a particular ad was on his local rag website.

Online versions are just the same as the print editions - not much news hidden in amongst the adverts

Can't you just have one loco but with 47271 on one side and 47604 on the other?

So an ETH supply on one end, but not the other, SHMD?

Oh - yeah.

(A bit obvious that one.)

They're usually on the back shelves at newsagents.

Yodel, the most horrendous delivery company on the planet.

Am I the only one who thinks Yodel is an unfortunate choice of name to begin with?

I hope my kids don't waste their pennies on this cr*p!

Gross!

To be fair, it makes really good commercial sense to market a brightly coloured, inauthentic wagon which is suitable only for those modelling Noddy's Toyland Railway - and which can only be run one day per year!!

She has got her claws into me, fortunately she has okayed a model railway room... :-)

You lucky person.

i have had this problem a few times,

40044 got scraped, 37408 got crashed, and 50036 got cut up

I screw mine up and use them to light the fire, that's recycling too.

Burn it in an attempt to clear all of that bad tev from your mind.

Do what I did - get rid of the telly.

Bah humbug, make a bee-line for the secretary.....

don't go then...

Don't get drunk and pass out. You wake up with only one eyebrow!

but there is a me!

I know that feeling!

I usually find that there's no F in help either...

Turned me into a newt.........

its not the black helicopters its the Black A4's you need to worry about

No- it's the yellow helicopter you need to worry about, Oh, I see that it's just taken off ......

like it !

Beware of Tesco

Fish Fingers, I believe that they are 1:87 scale rather than the genuine Bird's Eye 1:76.

...and if you were in Zurich, would that make them Swiss rolls?

Spilt blood or spilt paint?

Don't you know you should do the white first so it does not show the red underneath?

You are going to paint the rest in early or revised livery?

Possible that someone has picked name at random as named driver from phone book, it went to my parents place and I have not lived there in over a year.

Could be that your registration plate has been cloned?

How? He hasn't got a car!!

At a recent Partnership at Work meeting I was surprised to find out RMT membership was only around 17%. Mind you the bloke does take some pelters when he comes to visit on a recruitment drive, sorry members meeting!

Probably get lynched in some quarters but I quit them about 4 years ago. One or two still don't talk to me, unless they want a favour! Not affected me otherwise.

They know where you live, etc.

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?
