  1. At risk of making you feel old, today is Scott & Charlene's 33rd wedding anniversary 

    1. snitchthebudgie

      It's not so much being old - it's the embarrassment of actually remembering it!

    2. Hroth

      sings

       

      "Neighbours,

      E'vrybody hates the Neighbours....."

       

       

  2. 'Magic' clearly isnt what it used to be...

  3. *Falls over in shock* - Think I might have actually come up with a track plan for the new project. Watch out for the forthcoming fire sale of stuff so I can afford to build it ;-)

  4. \o/ A bonus for successfully completing my first 6 months in the job. With most of the wedding stuff paid for, maybe now Horsebridge will get a loco to operate on it!

      Well done!

      I think you deserve two!

  5. \o/ a successful evening - not only have I sorted out the dodgy power button on my phone, but I've sorted out the dodgy track in the shed as well!

  6. \o/ can watch the snooker tonight - apparently it's not 'boring' when Judd Trump is playing... (But I don't think it's his break building ability the Mrs admires ;-) )

    1. Debs.

      Debs.

      I`m watching in black and white; is the grey snookering the other grey? :-)

  7. \o/ Free Baseboard!

      Would that have been a mis-*carriage* of justice, Ivan? :-D

      Sadly, the evidence is damning. He was wearing a Wire...

  8. #backwatch Day 6. Managed to get out of bed by myself this morning. Slowly and gradually getting there! - still banned from the shed though!

  9. 0-0 at half time - by the end it was Hailsham Town 6 - Rustington 0. Sometimes I love football :D

  10. 1 day down, 2 to go, short weeks \o/

  11. 1 Point needed for promotion now! - Come on you Stringers!

      Heading for the big-time Stu????

      Back to Sussex County Division One!

  12. 3 Fridays to go until the FA Cup Extra Preliminary Round Draw, and the annual Hailsham Town quest to win an FA Cup tie. We haven't for the last 6 years...

  13. 3 month extension to secondment \o/

  14. 3-2 home defeat for the Stringers in a game that had it all - argh, so close!

  15. 6 packets of seed, planted at the same time. The only one to show any life so far? Pansy 'Beaconsfield'. That's a good omen for the new season, that is! :D

      Sounds like an Enid Blyton character

  16. Ah, so according to various forum warriors, it's entirely my fault (as the only regular poster connected to the club) that we couldn't raise a team to go to Redhill today. Ho hum....

    1. dseagull

      dseagull

      Some tool somewhere else said; "I know we have a HAILSHAM TOWN FC member on here so you get on this forum and explain to me why little over an hour before kick off you are unable to raise a side"

      Rise above them (ladders are handy for this)

      Give Leah a cuddle, you'll feel better mate

  17. Ah, the French are invading tomorrow. Send for Sharpe!

  18. Albrighton, Fellani, Rodwell, Arteta, Wilshire. That midfield should be enough to get us into Europe.... - it could be a long night of Football Manager ;)

  19. and as the one tortoise i succesfully mounted on the underside of the board goes crashing down, i think its time to leave the shed to calm down...

      Actually, this year I'm mostly alternating Cobra with Tiger LOL

      Well enjoy! Two of four now installed & working anyway!

  20. And lo, it came to pass, that DS would spend a second summer organising a fete for Hailsham Town FC.... If you're interested, read about it at http://goo.gl/JiIjs

  21. And there goes another weekend! - Still, early finish tomorrow - another chance to get that shelf up!

  22. Another layout, another frustrating evening failing at soldering feeds to track. I think its time to look into those pre-soldered fishplates...

      Need a hand with the track wiring? I might be free one evening this week.

      It's not through want of practice, it is just something I've never been able to get to grips with - despite trying different irons, different bits, different solder - just one of those things, like performing brain surgery or enjoying rap music, that I seemingly cannot 'get'!

       

      Kev: Thanks for the offer, I'm going to leave it for a couple of days and try again first!

      No worries buddy, you know how to get hold of me.

  23. Argh - that ever so frustrating moment when you remember that you were going to bid for something on ebay. Five minutes after it ended.

    1. pH

      pH

      Yes - it was the first of its kind in over a year of watching for one, and went for quite a bit less than I was prepared to pay!

  24. Argh! - One answer to get in the Telegraph crossword, and now I'm stumped. Was feeling very intelligent there for a minute!

      Ah, sounds like you're not doing the cryptic version, then....

    4. dseagull

      dseagull

      It was 'Forestall', I'd got another clue wrong... - the wife worked it out. As for cryptic crosswords, I've never been able to do those, even trying to do the Sun one using only the cryptic clues used to stump me!
