    Just seen the latest cads of the JLTRT 47. Better go and have a word with the bank manager.

      Have you looked at the cordless ones like Ryobi? I've got a couple including the cordless circular saw and its' so much easier without extension leads. Plus it's easy to stick it in the car to chop up wood so it fits in!

      Just do not buy any replacement blades from B&Q, they are made in China and they are crap to put it bluntly.

    Falling down the loft ladder was not the best of ideas.

      Falling is not the problem, it's the sudden stop at the bottom. I hope you are ok.

      Mater, I once was in a car that was floating in a road. It was very upsetting.....

    At last, I'm getting to grips with airbrushing!

      A bit late in replying, sorry, but yes, much thinner than previously thought.

    35 metres of Exactoscale track bases ordered, and a pile of Peco points. Skint, bit let the tracklaying begin :-)
