  1. Is it weathered?
  2. Returns accepted? Is it sound-fitted?
  3. Teams in these things tend to require a selection of "types", in order to promote 'human interest' from the audience. The Quiet, Nerdy One. The Capable, Practical One. The One Who Gets Obsessed With Irrelevant Details. The Bossy One That Gets Everybody's Back Up. The One That Does Things Wrong. Etc.. I'm naming no names, obviously...
  4. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-england-bristol-46077533/bus-roof-ripped-off-under-bristol-railway-bridge
  5. For the first time, I am a little bit disappointed - I expected at least a token protest to be in place... https://www.rte.ie/news/technology/2018/1101/1007962-google/
  6. I believe that there is a thing called Crilly's Law - it's very similar to Godwin's Law about the likelihood of Nazism being referred to in an internet discussion. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin's_law "The longer an internet discussion carries on about the size of something, the more likely it is that Ted Crilly's explanation of perspective will be referred to."
  7. That's journalists for you...
  8. No mention of a 'Karen' - did they save that until the 201 came along?
  9. I haven't watched it, but my general rule is that a TV programme about something that you have some knowledge of is almost always disappointing. The 'team' seem to feel it necessary to introduce 'tension', by having unnecessary time constraints and by placing a few awkward people intentionally to wind up the competent ones, etc.
  10. The lights are on, but there's nobody in...
  11. Will anyone be producing transfers?
  12. Don't overdo it. Don't make them get the First Aid kit down.
  13. A ghostly scene at Hazlehatch today...
  14. It's here - @iarnrod saw straight through it, of course.
  15. I'm liking the catering staff in full dress uniform.
  16. Steady now! You don't want to end up back on that drip...
  17. The green ones will be packed upside down in the boxes?
  18. Gold Star for observation skills!
  19. So, my hint at slowing down a bit has gone unheeded...
  20. If you look on Street View, he has passed a good few signs, including one offering a diversion 'avoiding a low bridge' and then hit a remarkably obvious bridge... Driving a high vehicle - and one with a variable height - you might hope that he would pay some attention to restricted heights.
  21. The Dapol ones are probably OK, if you have a DCC layout, so that you can drive the cleaner flat out, whilst propelling it slowly around the circuit via a loco that is being driven slowly. On a DC layout, in order to run the cleaner at a reasonable rate, you end up driving it too fast to have a good effect, without doing a good few circuits.
  22. That would take some masking at 1/76th scale. Not worth the bother.
  23. I've been hacked!
  24. (Secretly, I wouldn't mind it all slowing down a bit)
  25. I remain amazed that any of these things actually happen at all..... Go back twenty years and imagine telling people how it will be in 2018...
