  1. Atlas Air by Massive Attack. Song of the year? Or is that Straight Sun by Orbital?

  2. Acrylic or Enamel? Enamel all the way for me as it just seems more user-friendly (and it tastes better too) :D

  3. Been playing trains for the first time in months. Fun, but highlighted a couple of glitches with B2B measurements and catching switch-blades

  4. I'm totally knackered and sore. 5 hour walk on Saturday with the girlfriend, followed by 6 hours out on the mountain bike on the Surrey Hills yesterday. Three crashes, one which has left me somewhat battered and bruised.

      Ouch! Last time I went biking I went over the handle bars as a result of laughing so much seeing other people crash! Karma?

      The one that got me was over the bars, straight onto my head. Cleared the double / table top fine and then the front end washed out in a load of mulch and over I went - thought I'd got away with a soft roll but gravity had other ideas. Didn't notice until an hour later that my bars weren't straight.

  6. Busy filling the gaps in PCB sleepers with Milliput whilst listening to Pink Floyd's Animals.

      A different album might see you filling-in 'Time' :-)

      It's a 'Pig' of a job, I know that.

      Being serious for a sec though, it's a really good album to model to. Tried with Roots Manuva before (

      ) - not good modelling music
  7. I have a new least favourite job; filling the gaps in PCB points. Filler seems to want to stick to and go everywhere except the gaps and I just know that when I come to sand it down, the filler will fall out.

      I cut the gaps hard up against the viewing side of the track, no need to fill ;)

  8. New Order at their finest - Ceremony (penned by Ian Curtis): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9pr6SxJb-Dw&feature=related

      Spooky, I dug out my 25 year old Substance CD the other night.

      It was one of the first albums I uploaded onto my iPod when I got it, including all the 'B' sides and oddities on CD2. Always wondered why 1963 was on the second CD; it seemed to fit more with the tracks on the first.

  9. Had 'Minnie The Moocher' in my head all afternoon and only just Youtube'd it. Blues Brother's version, but it's a winner:

      Me & the guv do that some evenings - the best ones are where I'm on my lappy & she's on her pc and it's a case of guess the song in 5 or 10 seconds!!!

      I just love throwing some lesser known (to her!!) stuff her way!!! My ducking action is good when objects are then being thrown at me!!!! :D :D :D ;)))

      New Order for me now, as shown in my new update. Can you believe that my girlfriend had never seen the Blues Brothers when I met her? I nearly dumped her, I was that shocked. And then, THEN, she says 'It's not that good a film'.

  10. I've just discovered, to my peril, that using a craft knife to trim ones toenails is not such a good idea.

      1970 a great year for music loved this song also Lola from the same year. Waterloo sunset and Sunny afternoon are my all time favourite Kinks tracks.

  12. Having the worst day at work I've had in years. Told a fan heater to f*** off before for no apparent reason. I think the stress is getting to me

      Bacup is going quite well although I've been far too side-tracked with terraced houses and track when I should have been working on baseboards. Pub time now though - just finished work.

  13. Thinking of generating more interest and views for my Layout topic by renaming it Bacup TMD (where TMD stands for The Middle of't Dales)

  14. A biking video from a couple of weeks ago. Crap music. Me in front; me falling off at 2:05 - http://www.pinkbike.com/video/234808/

      A good basis for a ROSPA video: "Now, lets pause the action here for a moment: so, what happens next?" :-0

      Downhilling? I used to dabble before i came out of retirement & started motocrossing again. A long time ago but the santa cruz super 8 i had was bulletproof. Have you been riding long??

    3. Jason T

      Too long; since I was about 18. Bizarrely, only got into DH when I moved to South London (I lived in the Lakes previously), although my first race was at Gisburn Forest. Never really set the DH world alight as it were, although have always placed in the top half of my category. Best result was 13th in Masters (out of 45) at a Dragons round at Rheola a few years back. It may not sound great, but Rheola is one hell of a tough course.

       

      I used to love Super 8's (I've still got a...

  15. A break from modelling today; took the Downhill bike out and went to Hindhead with a couple of mates. Cold, damp, muddy, slippy and fantastic fun. I only had one crash; a bar-hump caused by a mud filled hole - basically, where you nearly go over the bars but instead go along the trail with your crotch / stomach on the bars & stem, before the inevitable happens and you end up in a heap on the floor.

      More embarrassing than painful, as my mate was following me, filming with a Go Pro helmet cam.

      Video please! Gisburn Forest in the ice tomorow night......

  16. Just bought my 5 year old Nephew his first train set - Thomas Passenger and Goods set. Of course, I just HAD to test that it worked

      i may do this for my nephew when he grows up a few years time.. brother wont be too happy though..

      My brother isn't a railway fan in the slightest but he has two sons who are utterly obsessed with them. I think he is resigned to the fact now and it does mean that when Uncle Jason comes to stay (or, more usually, when we are all at my Mum's house), he gets a bit of peace and quiet whilst Uncle Jason is on his hands and knees pushing Brio trains around, or reading the Rev W Awdry stories to an appreciative audience. Olly (the recipient of the Thomas set) is also obsessed with bikes s...

  17. Should be getting bored of knocking together terraced houses now but for some reason I'm not

      You are in good company. The Victorians and Edwardians didn't get bored of building them either!
