LoL

Nah" Hot X buns, Stawberry Jam and lashings of Butta...

hehe , best get the delivery van fired up then. Sainsbos in the derbyshire/staffs wastelands has stopped selling them, reducing me to a mere pastry addict

Really Mr Re6/6 - coloured pencil please (although I did do some using coloured pens). And as for using Excel for timetabling - it was tried a long time ago, no use at all.

am now trying to cross-reference against the carriage roster book and my brain has just boiled. I haven't added in freight at all yet....... wince

I still have some coloured pencils with BR stock numbers on them that found their way out of 222 Marylebone Road at least fifty years ago. No doubt the timetablers used the same stock numbers. I can remember when the Southern first used a computer to devise a new tt sometime in the mid 1960s. I think there was a period of human adjustments in the weeks after the introduction. But no doubt the computer had only done as it was told!

So your drill has a mind? Fascinating concept there, does anything else in your possession, non organic, have a mind?

some days everything animate or inanimate around me appears to have a mind of its own. This was more of a schrodinger's cat or falling trees type piece of whimsical questioning.... possibly?

Or possibly not...

err curiously not - didn't have any to hand so have gone with something alcoholic designed for oil paints - nomnomnom

now if only we could get scaled down cresosote

how about real creosote used in scale quantities?

hmmm. Ta for that. I've gone straight on to non solvent evostick and screws already

One week!? :-O

Amendment..... evostick has been replaced by double sided carpet tape. One 625x500x60mm diorama board made. Weight (complete with underlay): 691g.

Smut!

Give me smut

And nothing but!

hmmmmmm time to bring out the old dope pedlar?

though first,

(bring on the obscene movies, murals, postcards, neckties,

Samplers, stained-glass windows, tattoos, anything!

More, more, I'm still not satisfied!)

Stories of tortures

Used by debauchers,

Lurid, licentious, and vile,

Make me smile.

Novels that pander

To my taste for candor

Give me a pleasure sublime.

(let's face it, I love slime.)

Left hand down a bit?

I do know my left and right I am the navigating officer.

Oh, Lummy...

So long as you don't have lime green carpet, though I don't suppose that's a problem for many.

What's wrong with lime green carpet...? ;-)

The landlord has.... tastefully..... gone with a beige scheme. Perhaps reverse chameleon brasswork so it singularly fails to blend in, whatever the background?

Rule 3 of modeling a prototype location: "Everything is at least three times the distance you think it is."

Only legal if you have adverse possession for at least 10 years.

Only if next door is Austria........

Easy. I lived with out telly for 10 years - but the licence people mythered like hell every year.

I never got any bother. First year they called invited her in. Asked if she wanted to look around and check the laptop. SHe declined. Get an annual letter ever since asking if my situation is still the same. Funny thing is, there is still an aerial on the chimney. Do you need an aerial in these modern times?

i'm also proposing a mininimum 6 month broadband withdrawal!Not quite certain where myself and the rat-catcher might end up - there is a possibility I may end up within earshot of Mr Axlebox's kettle if some job stuff goes to plan!!!

I subscribed to a calendar containing such dates.

Look, the date for Easter is easily worked out, it's the first Sunday after the first full moon after the spring equinox.

16x12x10: That`s easy to calculate then! :-)

Weather is not bad on this Side of the earth... Still the soldering iron was going hard at a Finney kit!

jealous - just finishing off the chores before i melt a bit of bradwell

brew ready. Rob Newman playing on the i-player. Soldering iron warming. RSU excavated. I'm going in.

Start your own business, at least you can't sack yourself, and you don't need a CV either....

It's always the darkest before the dawn Chin up you can do it have faith in yourself

I've had my own business, and got fed up of being belittled and underpaid. This one I really wanted to do, but the medical was reassesed and the grading changed. I'm about to have a fight over standards, procedures and equality methinks.

J39 every time

J39 pulling some cattle wagons....it's only money!

i have both and plenty of the latter....... just very little decisiveness this weekend

Not heard Carter for ages. They were class.

yup. couldn't go to the final show either My ipod has died so i've finally succumbed to spotify: leading to 101 damnations. Musical exploration has halted making con-rods tonight

Been singing this song for months now and just downloaded it from itunes last week. Brilliant.

Wish I had that on mine...

You'll be lucky.

A light escape this year. Much lighter than you I believe. Thank you for saving me from Martin Finney's kits.

How on earth did they pass border controls at Gretna....

Dave, two miles from the factory.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I'm going to have to see a dentist now.

I'm actually sat in my dentist's waiting room right now. If the checkup goes well i'll celebrate with a caramel wafer on the way up the m1 tonight.

Nutlock 243.

indeed. But a few other things to sort before locking everything down ------ still grinning. Up till then monday was being a bit pants.

It's the simple things that can make a day so much better.

Oh, think twice...

not a workers paradise

hmm yes, ground floor shopper's paradise. I'm now feeling disturbed that I inadvertently started the day with a Phil Collins lyric in my head, albeit ironically given the weather.

I think God would have decided on your application in mysterious ways....

plenty of room in the Vatican city for Broomielaw and the rest of the Stainmore route

HT - I think he already has. I think my karma quota may be a bit out of balance at the moment.

BM - I'm sure once I"ve finished Stooperdale to Belah I can find a spare room for you to store Kirkby Stephen if you need. Now everyone get praying 'cos I need a proper job and a proper sized railway room (err suite)

I quite like a bit of drizzle...

Change in weather ? No chance I feel.

I, regretfully, have to agree. I have that sense of foreboding that usually heralds uncontrollably slipping editorial deadlines

Don't worry, you will put it in a safe place.

I can tell you where it is, it's in the last place (you look), just go straight there...

Aaah, Timothy you are profoundly right yet again. Indeed it was in the last place I looked and, frankly, the last place I expected to look.I'm opening myself to abuse, but what sort of moron files a 3mt tank kit with S&T ground fittings and misc. jigs?

Theres 3 warley limited edition toads on ebay already !

And what are they selling?

Yep happens every year at Warley, then sell them on ebay for twice the price

Sounds like a verse of "Privatise" by Coope Boyes and Simpson

....and ever since I meet this man,

My life is not the same,

And Nicolai Ivanovich

Lobachevsky is his name

Hoi!

Nicolai Ivanovich Lobachev...

I am never forget the day

I am given first original book to write:

It was on Analytic Algebraic Topology of Locally-Euclidean Metrization of Riemannian Manifold...

This I know from nothing.

But I think of great Lobachevsky and get idea, ha ha!!

I have a friend in Minsk,

...
