    Gosh darn those non paying bidders on ebay!

      Thanks for the advice. I have given them a week to pay and contacted them several times. I suspect that something got lost in the translation (the buyer was French) and they wanted to back out. I would be ok with that but at east say something!

      When I say none, I mean none that I can afford right now.

      Thanks Michael. I love Blackstar amps their tonal range is great but there are none within my driving range (i.e. 70 miles away). Will keep an eye out.

    It's true, we never put a man on the moon; BUT, we were the first up Everest, which is the nearest you can get without the sodding fireworks.

    I don't know whether to be depressed or elated that when I do a google search for a subject at least 40% of the images found are my uploads onto rmweb!

      Thanks, good luck with your revision. I never did so well at revising so you are bound to do better than me!

    is finding that booking a blood test at the local NHS hospital is not as easy as it looks :-(

    1. SNCF stephen

      SNCF stephen

      sorry to hear that. Some hospitals have a turn up and test type arrangement where you can come along with the paperwork from your doctor and their nurses do the work (Good Hope in B'ham does that).

    So when you buy a DCC ready train and it burns out one of your decoders because it was poorly designed/built what can you do?

    1. SNCF stephen

      SNCF stephen

      So I need to take a trip to Spain!!! It is annoying that the cost of a decoder is borne by me and not the manufacturer!

    After much abuse about the current model, the opportunity has presented itself and the question is: to go to iphone or not to go to iphone?

      devondynosoar118 hit the nail on the head. In history the iPhone will be remembered as the iPhone and everything else is just that. Everything else...

    The railcar my wife reserved for me for my Christmas present now looks unlikely to be ready before Christmas. I guess the Christmas day service on my layout will have to wait!

    1. SNCF stephen

      SNCF stephen

      Probably, but I am sure there are some places with odd and querky rules that prevent that from happening.

    The question that sooner or later all single men living on their own must face - do I make an effort to clean the inside of my Microwave oven or do I just pop down to Tesco and buy a new one?

      you can also have some "fun" with the old one if you do decide to replace it!!! Glass of milk with an old style lightbulb in it...
