    Life's too short for throwing your toys out of the pram. Unfortunately most people don't realise that until it's too late.

      The world is full of silly people - would you believe some even throw their toys out over toy trains ?

      Really??

    Some B****** hacked my email account. Hours of security checks and changes today. Ugh.

  3. TheSignalEngineer

    The days I remember in the 1960s were generally pretty good. The ones I don't remember were probably even better.

      That's the thing about the '60s. If you can remember what happened, then you weren't really there....!

    Wind chill -7C, gusts up to 25mph, looks like more modelling today.

      Needed to go to the shops for a rattle can but my wheels were frozen to the drive.

    Little Sammy was dead chuffed today at being invited to cab a Pendolino.

      A lifetime's interest can start with little things like that!

      Don't worry, he's already hooked and not 3 yet. Told me the other day that the pair of 37s we were looking at were different. He was right, it was the horns in different places.

      In buying Giraffe I think Tescos are sticking their necks out

    What snow? I'm basking in the sun in the Dark Peak

      aah give it back... I knew I'd left it somewhere close by.

  8. TheSignalEngineer

    Feeling distinctly mortal today.

  9. TheSignalEngineer

    We have a yellow snow warning, dog walkers must still be out.

      watch out where the huskies go etcetc ad nauseum

    Need a bit of planking sheet. Road covered in ice + 12 miles to shop = long afternoon with the scriber

  11. TheSignalEngineer

    It's snowing at 51deg North in January. Apparently the BBC thinks that's news.

      You'll be telling me it's cold next.

  12. TheSignalEngineer

    wonders if he should do a bit of blue or sectorisation next.

    Will TV programmers please note that not all of us want to watch the gory details of a transplant operation over breakfast. My personal reaction is to switch off the set.

      As it was on the BBC News Channel it will be repeated half-hourly for the next two days.

      Agreed. Its not fair to bacon.

    Successfully rebuilt the rear suspension on the Specialized Stumpjumper (FSR. Probably not as difficult as getting a Mainline split chassis to run true.

    Been nightriding Woodhead. Pity it was on the Trek, not an EM1.

  17. TheSignalEngineer

    BBC says it's supposed to end at 11 11. Given that the Maya were at GMT -6 that gives us until 17.11 here

    1. 69843

      We get until 22:11. Just had a 'last supper' :P

      Y e e e s s s, I'm sure that's a great comfort to us all.....

    In case we can't get on line after today, I'll wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year now.

      Thanks Charles! I'm trying to find out if there's an internet cafe open on the other side. ;)

      There's certainly one at the end of the Galaxy if you go that way

    If you always have to think outside the box was it the right shape and size in the first place?

      I don't just think outside the box. I think perpendicular to the space next to outside the box.

      Throw the contents of the box away, get in it and pretend you're in a train cab!??...Er just me then....

      I thought it was a sludgemarine

    No wonder the WD I bought for a project was advertised as needing attention. The valve gear wasn't fitted correctly.

    1. TheSignalEngineer

      TheSignalEngineer

      Chassis running nicely now. When I took valve gear off it ran perfectly.

  21. TheSignalEngineer

    Not sure if trying to reassemble a Baccy Mk1 after a couple of large glasses of port was a good idea

  22. TheSignalEngineer

    Decorating Gingerbread Men.

    1. 28XX

      28XX

      in what scale?

    2. Baby Deltic

      Baby Deltic

      Run, run, as fast as you can. You can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man!

    A night of styrene sticking, feeling like a substance abuser

      Steve Taylor

      stickin' it to "the man", eh?

  24. TheSignalEngineer

    Just found an old seat reservation ticket from 1960. 10 more photos dated.

  25. TheSignalEngineer

    Went by Crewe Market today on the way to the show. Found what we used to refer to as the Four 'alls. There's the Cheese 'all, the Market 'all, the Town 'all and a big open space.

    1. TheSignalEngineer

      TheSignalEngineer

      The big open space was where we used to meet up with ladies of doubtful repute.
