  1. Found an old coach body (found as in actually noticed) in someones  garden the other day while walking, today I had a (2m+) chat with the owners, it came via horse and cart from Eccles Road in 1912. He showed me the builders plate, a google showed the plate was worth £1000+ !

  2. Now in the queue for Tescos for the weekly shop (doors open in 20 mins). There may be a loud pop over Cornwall later, that will be me getting my modelling finger out!

      No, but they have WD40, that any use?

      Many years ago, the IT Contractor magazine 'Freelance Informer' ran a front cover image caption competition, using old Punch cartoons. I won once with the caption "I'm Spartacus".

  5. More than £100 later and we have now had the £1 charity shop CD extracted from the CD player in CTMK's car. I'm now playing it as I type this, some rather lovely Handel baroque music that I haven't heard before. But I wish it hadn't decided to bug*er up the car CD player.

      You had taken the CD out of the case first ?

  7. So we have the opportunity to decorate our desks for Christmas  - I'm thinking a circle of track and some green felt scenery with brown felt cones for mountains and some lit up buildings...

      Ignoring our Sheepy friend's suggestion, yes, a small loco with a couple of wagons of presents will be circling, it will mean having to remove hands from the mouse & keyboard each lap, but it's a price I'm willing to accept.

  11. There now follows a review of the lavatorial facilities on a Class 800 'Abominator':

    The location of the lavatory paper dispenser is almost at floor level.  This is not satisfactory for a gentleman who wishes to urinate standing up.

    The water outlet above the wash hand basin shows a marked disinclination to operate within acceptable timescales. 

    The adjacent 'hot air' outlet is weak, ineffectual except over unrealistically lengthy timescales and shows a poor standard of character. 

    The curved sliding door occasionally needs help from guests to fully close.

     

    Review ends.

     

  12. I must warn you all that there are individuals loose in society, who are involved in an activity known as 'spoon carving'. Do not approach any such individuals if you happen to encounter one. Stay in your vehicle and wait for the Horrocksford W.I. to rescue you.

      It's a Welsh thing and is perfectly legal.

       

      If you are not Welsh, please leave this complicated and dangerous bucolic pastime to those adept and able to partake.

      Strange you should suggest that - I once made Y-Puds with a pancake mix & was laughed at for including sugar...
