  1. I found an old textbook on Bayesian statistics in the loft. Based on my background in psychology and statistics, I expect I will probably read it…

  2. That center spread in the latest Pendon Paper. Wow!

  3. I hand wrote a letter today, I mean who actually takes the time to write a letter who isn't Royalty or sending love.

     

    I was going to the Post Office to send back a warranty claim and thought whilst I was at it I should send another item.  With no time to get out a computer / printer I simply wrote a note - joined up writing and everyfink. 

     

    Remembered not to write 'Love' at the bottom 😆

      Now he says! I could have lent you a book 'the Pan book of Letter Writing' (price 3/6 or 17.5p in new money) - might have been some useful tips in there!

  4. Mild Easter panic - oven seemed to be broken - but luckily a Hotpoint F03 error just needs you to go through a reset, as per Hotpoint's own YouTube site.

     

    Rather scarily though, the process invoking what looks like the high temperature clean setting - the doors locked and it began making noises but I got past it and reset the motherboard.

  5. Your date of birth (Please use the same date of birth you used when taking out your policy or booking)

    Really?

  6. Once again, Radio 3 is playing some arty farty modernistic crap, so I have been forced to get up out of my chair and switch the channel to Classic FM, who are currently playing Charpentier, much better.

      A remote control might be helpful, thinking of you dragging yourself out of that armchair ...

       

      Done any modelling recently?

  7. Can people stop announcing things for 5 minutes so I can catch up!

      What announcements - have I missed something?

  8. Peco code 83 track (SL-8300) doesn't actually say Peco anywhere on the sleeper moulding

  9. Why are some folk always out for an argument on social media, Web Cam chat and Forums?

  10. Took a walk to the local butcher's shop this afternoon, to buy some potatoes.

  11. Ever realise that no matter what you do, it's never good enough and sometimes you just have to be a little $#@€ to get your point over before they understand that they screwed up!

  12. I’m getting old. Just carried an auxiliary pair of key token instruments out to the van. I’m wrecked. 

  13. Happy to confirm no garden party for me during lockdown.

      Yes, I didn't see you there!

       

      (the large cheque has been cashed thanks)

  14. I must admit I'm always nervous when I send a PM in case it ends up here...

     

    I've been lucky so far!!!

      But, being ahead of the game, you didn't end up here!

  15. I’ve just realised that Britains most westerly station once belonged to the London and North EASTERN Railway. Mind blown!

  16. Had a dream the other night I was stood at a railway crossing and the train that went through was a BR Lined Black version of the GT3 which was named Lawrence, I have no idea why. Maybe another idea for @KR Models fictional livery ideas, custom nameplated one would be nice, not going to lie, hehe

  17. Fed up with Christmas, last year was the best ever, because it was cancelled.

      I suppose you feel the same about birthdays?

  18. Dropping soldering iron : Bad.

    Catching it by the hot end : Worse

  19. I saw something nasty in the wood shed.

     

  20. Radio 3 is perfectly capable of playing some decent, proper classical music but why do they have to deviate so often into the realms of psuedo-arty intellectual guff? Each time I turn over from Classic FM, in despair at the inane, repetitive adverts, I find some pontificating person spouting some clap-trap or the strident and discordant tones of modern so-called 'music' (or else it's jazz - aaargh!).

     

  21. What does the panel think of using swede (that'll be neep to viewers up top, but who cares as they're rutabagas anyway) in a veg curry?

     

    The Mrs has gone off to meet her daughter in Malta for 10 days and left loads of veg that isn't pies, sausages, white bread or chips and I'm bu99ered if I know what to do with it!

     

  22. The view from our motorhome this morning :D

  23. I haven't got a LSWR road van but I have been feeding the mouse that lives in the shed.
