      I've got one of those. At two she was happily railing N gauge stock quite safely and loving every minute!

  3. the household has increased by one member. Hello Stampy the Hamster! (He's a Chinese dwarf hamster, my name suggestion of Tsingtao was outvoted)

      I can see where you are coming from, but we live in the real world

      Yeah but a lot of the stuff they have in the 'antique shops' they got for buttons in house clearances etc. Think Gosturde....

      I'd rather not thanks!

  5. Layout works! A successful evening!

      I'm guessing you cracked the wiring LOL

      Looks like it! All a bit of a mess at the moment, but come the weekend I will locate the packet of chic block connectors that Sal removed from Leah's grasp the other day and neaten it all up a bit!

  6. 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.

  7. if you are listening to the Paul Miller show on BBC local radio, you now know what I sound like!

  8. Enjoying the new Pink Floyd album. Not enjoying Leah's stinky nappies. Three this morning, and typically the wife did a night shift last night so it's all down to me... :yuk:

      Yep they sure do grow up quick, but sometimes you forget you are growing older with them :-S

  9. 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...

  10. Lettering kitbuilt vans with tiny transfers. Right now, that bottle of Harveys on the side looks increasingly appealing!

      Might actually improve accuracy... :-P

      Then again!

  11. *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 ;-)

  12. 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....

      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"

  16. Baby Seagull is a day overdue. At work, waiting nervously for a phone call... - at least I was able to get some work done on the layout last week!

      Could be a few more days yet they turn up when they want!

  17. Is on Page 3! (of the Hailsham Gazette. What did you think I meant? - nobody needs to see that!

  18. So I get a night off from the football club and still end up going after half an hour to deal with an abadonment - snow in April is not on!

      KevinWalsh

      Does this mean you didn't get any modelling done?

  19. First boot sale of the season tomorrow!

    1. M.I.B

      M.I.B

      Get ready for the priceless and rare Dublo 2 rail, and "mint" broken boxless Triang......

  20. Baby due in 2 weeks. Let's get something decent to Number 1 in the charts for her! - http://www.facebook.com/GetBatOutOfHellToUkNumber1ForOurBaby

      Why-It'll be gone when the morning comes B)

  21. 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!

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

  23. That incredible moment where you score 5 goals in the last fifteen minutes. Especially when the last goal was a screamer by new Romanian cult hero Ionut Dragan, whom the rest of the team called John due to their inability to pronounce his name. Legendary stuff. Hailsham Town 6 - 2 Worthing United Scorers: Leach 17,90 Salvidge 75, Jarvis 80, Skan 85, Dragan 90

      For everything else, there's MasterCard.

  24. So after that brilliant, virtuoso display from Mr Bale, its the first ever episode of Bullseye on Challenge. First time it's been shown in 30 years apparently, excellent :D

      Super, smashing, great...

      General consensus on the Bullseye Facebook page is that the second couple were probably relieved they didnt win the star prize - a Morris Ital :D

      Look what you could have won!!!

  25. 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!
