      It is a prerequisite of punditry. When there's nothing to say, talk about nothing.

  2. Why don't you ever notice that you havent re-fitted the cab's glazing until after you've semi-permanently coupled the loco to its tender?

  3. Why is it that at least half the people found in a filling station at any one time bumble slowly around with the bemused air of those who have never, in their entire lives, previously encountered a fuel pump or replenished the tank of a vehicle of any kind?

      A couple of minutes use of elbow grease, Cif and a scouring pad means I now have a clean kitchen sink, but my efforts haven't made the slightest difference to the paint.

      Recently acquire a Win 10 tablet. I've found it very good so far. Edge is OK but you ca't install addons like ad blockers

  6. Yesterday I applied the transfers to one side of a wagon and made a perfectly acceptable job of it. Today I do the other side of the same wagon and make a right pigs ear of it. Arrggghhhh!
