Bon Accord

... and speak each other in passing,

Only a signal shown and a distant voice in the darkness;

So on the ocean of life we pass and speak one another,

Only a look and a voice, then darkness again and a silence.

The link should be sans dot - Bill Hoole and 60027.

I think them merely ridiculing the Iceland defeat was quite kind of them considering.

Well it would look good alongside my recently acquired J35 and detailed J83!

Only ever heard that term used in Australia, and that was nearly 20 years ago.

I find it quite ridiculous that in 2016 we still don't have electronic voting. If nothing else we'd all know the result by 2230 rather than the morning after.

Gents,do you not think you've hijacked Steve's status update enough for one day?

Do you have a canal nearby?

Finally got my parcel yesterday afternoon by spending a couple of hours comparing the image they'd sent me of my "neighbours" door with those doors on houses with similar sounding street names - finally found it after much frustration and marched off to collect. No thanks whatsoever to DPD who have not been in contact since I raised the initial issue.

I don't know, but I suspect it's all minimum wage, zero hours contracts, no job security/future coupled with a self obsessed management totally disconnected from their employees and the reality of what it is they're there to do. The fate of many a company in today's "progressive" age, alas.

After waiting 10 minutes I managed to get through to the call centre which thankfully wasn't somewhere on the subcontinent. The girl on the line just couldn't get to grips with what I was telling her, now they cant get hold of the driver for some reason to find out where he actually left the parcel, if he even remembers. Tomorrow they say.....

Probably because the BBC is so far up it's own backside they're not remotely interested in what any of the little people have to say.

Had Colitis myself many years back and it can be an incredibly tough thing to live with. I went to see my GP some 4 weeks after getting the first symptoms and he spotted it for what it was straight away, I was admitted the following morning for the camera for confirmed diagnosis.

2F?

For some, however the quintessential NBR loco - J37 - is no longer available as a kit. I've spent years looking for one at shows and on ebay and still with no success.

Plenty? Life is easy for the D&E modeller as the number of classes is small and many types saw service UK wide. If you want to model the ScR pre 1967 then you need pre grouping types, J38's, K4's etc. None of which are available, nor are they likely to be. It's worth pointing out that the last working BR (Sc) steam loco in 1967 was an NBR J36!

Enjoy some Lorne sausage - clarity will return!

Tim, it would seem not. Despite being on a supposed efficiency drive some staff are obviously underemployed enough to spend time coming up with nonsense like this! Maybe they think it makes them more efficient?! I suspect it spreads like a virus; one delusional individual in management comes up with it to appear fresh and original, then it spreads from company to company.
