I had it three weeks ago and it was really like a bad/very bad cold although I was tired at times and lost my appetite to some extent, plus few occasional headaches.  Senses of smell and taste were unaffected.. If it goes like that the worst should be over in no more than a week or so and hopefully you won't get the continuous nausea which hit me as everything else improved.

There's a saying, 'life's a bitch and then you die'.

Craap timing for you, Nick, I really do sympathise. I could always drop that 'small amount of reading material' round on your doorstep in a day or so?

Sorry to hear the Nick, will miss seeing you at Taunton, hope it doesn't affect you that much and your are back on top form soon!

I ended up with Scaramanga. If I got a million a shot I might be able to afford DCC sound...

Oh dear "Auric Goldfinger"

Goldfinger!

Have you been repaired properly, then?

No, most functions are still buggered!

Do you need a new motherboard?

Tempting Mr Stationmaster, Sir, but I doubt that I could find the right screw to undo to release said component.

Modelu make a Top Feed for the Dukedog, but I'm not sure if it is correct for a 14xx.

Lucky b******!

Or if not, how about Modelmaster?

If no joy with those leads try PM to 'BlueLightning' of this parish, he can produce bespoke transfers

Cheers Kevin.

I might have something, could bring it along to the next DRAG?

Certainly thinking of it for St. Breward.

Horrabridge's track has been completed, more on that another day!

Oddly enough, I've also been working on some OO pointwork today!

Horrabridge teack completed, and you make us wait!!!! How dare you...

You paid £38 to steal it?

Did Granges go to Horrabridge?

Is that the damaged one which was on eBay last night?

Who you call in' fat ?

It`s because the engines & drivers don't speak the same type of English :-p ha ha

anthropomorphism

What are your other two wishes?

You'll never fit Horrabridge in the whole floor area of your house... Think again!

Yeah I know Mr V! Errr!

Dam it all, the pooh-poohing is a court-marshal offense alone!

This coffee tastes like mud.

Capuccino?

There's more than one way to be a cut above the rest and I don't think that's the way to do it !

Tsk Tsk conduct unbecoming in a professional......

So not such a 'top tip' after all... I know I've missed a few meetings lately, but I don't recall sawing up other people's layouts as 'DRAG policy'...

reboot them right where it hurts....

It needs longer than counting to just 10. Counting to 1010 should do it.

is that count in binary?

Don't know what you are worried about. Aren't you within walking distance of the pub? Sorted :-)

If you're planning any Great Escapes, do it before this coming Sunday evening - another 5 - 10cm of snow on the way!!

Problem was Brian the pub ran out of Spitfire, there was nearly a riot in there! ;-)

You and these sausages CK!

Yes Rob, track laying next! Quite scary the progress I'm making.

Three ounces of tripe

Half a pound of sausages, three ounces of tripe, all covered in tomato sauce from the layout

One of the singers is the son of the Goon Show's Ray Ellington!

Just started using 007 glue, it Bonds in seconds. I'll get my coat.

Missed it but caught Skyfall at the flicks finally... actually, I quite enjoyed it!

Indeedely doodely.

It rhymes

But everyone who counts loves Ned Flanders (not Homer obviously)

I think I hereby appoint you King of South West Lundy, dear boy! (or you can have King of South West Tresco', that's not allocated yet either...:-p

hahah! Excellent! All the pieces are fitting into place!

And as it's you, there's one more choice, a minor Baronetcy in South Georgia, which has an option on a llama hut in Patagonia...

lol

If you got it, dont flaunt it, AUCTION t! Anyone for cake???!!

This wouldn't be rice pudding or custard flavoured with cider, by any chance, would it!?

Why are you still here?

Found Mr Nevard's Cornish layout!!

I'm going!

lol hahah! :-)

The Tri-athlon is very trying...

You need more sleep already young man get to bed before the kids.

Chocolate needed here as well - to cover the fridge cake I just made.

Found some chocolate, it was hiding in the back of the cupboard!

A Marathon bar rarely offends...

Andy, you have hit the nail on the head!

Scots, oh dear! Thats a lot of stuff!

I'm only allowed desk and workbench. However I take dining table, floor, bits of the stairs, window sill(s) bookshelves, filing, and ... and ...

Same here John, except my desk is my worbench. The floor is like a big low shelf...

So we'll keep you well away from any Ouse Viaduct marble runs then ...

Notice this has coincided with a request for help preparing ground works for the shed?

I'll be OK in a couple of weeks! I just need to remain seated for a couple of weeks, which I find very boring!

Well quite! I thought this morning that it hurt, but as the day has progressed it has swollen up quite nicely! So thought best to seek medical advice!

Are you a bad luck magnet or what? Either that or you are the clumsiest person I have ever met ;-P

Well I’m perhaps not the clumsiest person to walk the earth, maybe in Devon, but I do get ‘light headed’ when my blood sugar level is down! And have a history of just passing out!
