      Not go to sea, but I've just checked the stores inventory.

  2. "Have you seen the refuse collectors?" "No. But follow the rubbish left on the floor and I'm sure you'll find them" I am now definitely sick and tired of all the cr*p our bin men leave behind them after the visit. It's simple. If you drop it PICK IT UP!!!!!!!!

      My observation is that a lot of folk simply let go of cans, bottles etc and gravity is to blame for their litter being on the footpath etc.

      After installation don't forget to turn off all the privacy switches. That will stop your PC sending a lot of info to Microsoft although probably not all.

      Look at this site, http://www.slate.com/articles/technology/bitwise/2015/08/windows_10_privacy_problems_here_s_how_bad_they_are_and_how_to_plug_them.html, to find some of the more obscure locations to turn of privacy switches and keep the minimum amount of data going to Microsoft.

      Last seen legging it from the course whilst our fans sang "Always look on the bridge side of Life". Poetic, is it not?

      such a wonderful, nail-biting, exciting, down to the wire piece of theatre and by all accounts the US attitude is typical 'big team' victory or shame. everyone involved in this should be celebrating a fantastic contest.

  13. New term and a new group of 6 yr olds to try and teach football too. Who said life was easy?

    1. RedgateModels

      RedgateModels

      speaking from experience I find that 6 year olds can fling themselves to the ground rolling around and complaining quite well all by themselves ;)

    2. N15class

      N15class

      teach them cricket and rugby instead.

      teach them how to model a football pitch ;)

  14. First line of the VW Blue advert "Wouldn't it be nice if we were Rover". Listen carefully.

      Nice thought Highlandman, I second that. And having been a shop worker once, a thought is also spared for all them working it in whatever capacity.

  17. Don't you just hate it when you take a picture of work you are doing and all it shows is the marks, errors and missed paint that you thought you had found.

      Indomitable026

      that happens all the time to me. I now use it to spot all the marks errors and missed paint!

  18. Did Dr. Beeching get it wrong. Interesting item on BBC website http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-21938349

      Michael Palin mentions the closure of the great central. It wasn't part of the beeching axe, He said it should be kept open.

  21. Don't you just hate it when you have just spent 30 minutes fettling a ground signal back blind for it to go pinging off into oblivion as soon as you open the pliers holding it.:-(

      signalmaintainer

      There are probably $10 worth of detail parts hiding in my hobby room carpet due to that very reason!
