      That's not to bad, I lost mine+lens cap and spare card on my last heritage ride.

  2. Today's earworm. Victoria by the Kinks. Top tune but I prefer the Fall's version.!

      Well, it got mysteriously replaced by National Express by the divine comedy but it's now firmly back in there again after reading this update...

  3. Having a rough evening at the workbench tonight, MP3 player keeping me going with some good tunes. Just about to lose it with some electronic bits and chuck them across the room when "Horizons" by Genesis comes on the MP3, a tune that's always made me stop and enjoy the moment ...1minute 41seconds later all is calm and I'm chilled out again. The power of music eh?

      I do something similar when i'm drawing circuits. It's quite therapeutic.

  4. is recovering after the IOW beer and buses weekend. Plenty of hellfire vintage bus thrash, top pubs and probably way too much excellent cask ale.

    2. Jon Fitness

      Jon Fitness

      Nooo. It's all just variously sad, predictable, dull depressing, trite, or any combination of the above. Much prefer to stay in my little bubble of nostalgia, everythings rosier there!

  19. thinks the only way he'll get the brass etch bits how he really wants is to learn how to use a CAD program and get them etched.

    1. Jol Wilkinson

      Jol Wilkinson

      Which is to follow he path that Finney, Mitchell, London Road Models and many others have taken. Jump in, the waters fine.

    2. newbryford

      newbryford

      If you can find a friendly CAD operator, then that's a good first step.
