If it was too cheap we'd all be doing it and every car park would be overwhelmed, every train overcrowded (even more than they are now) etc....

Because an anonymous suit in TOC HQ says it's alright to do so.

Try City airport short term parking.. £94 a day !!!

Hope it was a good experience!

Jammy Dodgers...

Butterfingers

Ginger nuts

just made a nice toad in the hole for tea... yummee!

It was the wurst of times...

Captain Sausage and the Sausagettes!

Stop horsing about!

Can also be expressed as s-1 where s is the number of locos that causes divorce.

But n is a real integer whilst s is a complex, irrational variable.

I find that I can be complex, irrational and variable when indulging in model railway shopping.

Good moaning

Listen carefully. I will say this only once.

Meanwhile, over in the Kremlin...

I'm no fan of Mr Salmond but his comments on Donald John are worth a listen.

I'd imagine they're "subtle" - probably fair comment, too.

Still, the whole world is stuck with the guy - so we all need to hope for the best … .

It's never finished... ;-)

Photo required BoD...not that we divvnt believe he like!

"Fiddle yards of ale" … that's a good one - but it might leave a bitter taste.

Seriously though, I suspect that lots of model railway clubs must be based in licenced premises.

As for brewery based layouts, I've also seen a few of them.

Presumably they don't get too many jokes about people's ability to organise shunting in a --- …

… Oh, never mind.

Wife?

Prog rock?

Mole Wrench?

Southern assumed that nobody needed a train service some time ago...

I'd forgotten that bit - much like some people are reputed to have forgotten what one of their trains looks like.

I'm ready and willing to be snowed in, got food, booze,wood for the fire and lots of railway jobs to do, so why won't the @##@#@# snow come to shropshire?!

Go on Go on e.t.c. e.t.c.

JDI

Mind your head Plasters plasters.

The rain is coming through the roof?

Hidden supply of jammie dodgers?

Hiding from her indoors?

It's marginally easier than wiring the Large Hadron Collider - or is it?

First item on list, make a list of things to do...

What was the question again?

you like 37404...

A really good hand of cards?

mmmmm caramel wafers. did you know Tunnock named his yacht Lemarac? Still prefer teacakes though

carnt beat a nice teacake and wafer, mind them wafers can break ya teeth when chilled, i had one in my packed lunch at college, 3 hours next to a chilled bottle of pepsi in your bag was enough to make it like a brick

You should try living near to the Tunnock's factory, with the wind in the right direction there's a lovely caramel smell.

Lots has been done, for which I am eternally grateful. I think it's a case of clip on magnifiers and frequent rests. I can still cope at normal viewing distance although I may miss the occasional rivet.

You weren't planning on counting them - were you?

Yes, I realised I had similar problems when I started finding it hard to focus on the rivets for A4 mainframes :-(

Oh yes, I am looking forward to be left-over curry this evening.

...with sprouts?

Is that similar to an enema?

Mr muscle...also capable of striping paint off white metal....

As you're enjoying it so much could you pop down south and do ours when you've finished?

The good news: I'll swap you a sausage from Christmas dinner. The bad news: It'll be second hand.

So are the socks.

too late just ate the last pigs in blankets

No, just a pain to fit in a trip to get it. In the overall scheme of things it's not that important.

What Gauge? I've got some Code 55 N.

What a splendid exclamation.Have you patented it, and if not, can I borrow it please?

To "store" - flat. To access from a bookshelf - vertical, if you have several the same size and a suitable book-end

Vertical, it takes more space but looks so much better. Books stacked on the flat look messy and are a pain to access.
