      Having also suffered a kidney stone, like JJG above, and also being told that it was more painful than childbirth I would still advise caution in using that statement in future. Very few women that I mentioned it to agreed, some very strongly! Best avoided perhaps.

      I preferred it as it was when I first started work when I, and everyone else, did all the shopping in the week before Christmas.

      I have never been able to begin to understand the "satisfaction/thrill/buzz/?" that anyone would get by damaging something like that.

  23. Grrrrrrrrrrr! Spent hours, swapping decoders about and testing on a Hornby Fowler Tank only to find the problem was a (large) solder bridge between two pins underneath the DCC plug. It ran perfectly on DC. Poor quality soldering job made me think I had two bad decoders.

      It was weird as everything showed data correctly on Decoder pro - just wouldn't run properly. Actually it did run on DCC - at full speed and wouldn't stop!
