  1. Always worth a trial run to see if any light will bleed though the roof or sides. I've found 'silver' paint to be fairly leakproof.
  2. Often a greater problem, which it will also greatly reduce, is splash from the soil at the base - a great rot-promoter. And you can let The Authorities know that you have made such great efforts to collect rainwater for the plants in their beloved garden....
  3. They often have a tendency to go off the rails, particularly after a period of silence.
  4. Specifically, does the 'Off' switch still work?
  5. Ah, right, I was actually wondering if there were screws right up at the top end of the tubes, they're often black and barely visible. It would seem that @murrayec could be right... Another possibility would have been screws hidden by the bogies, but that's excluded by his pictures, too. Sometimes, a bit of gentle pulling about can reveal where the splits are and you may still be able to part them - but there is always an element of risk. Lima did, at times, mould the roof and windows in one clear piece, then painted the roof section.
  6. I've never dealt with one of those specifically, but, in that sort of situation, there can often be a couple of screws at the far end of the two "tubes" going up from the floor. Can you see through the windows if they go right up to the roof?
  7. It's a complicated issue. Some of the high-maintenance ones are actually easier to off-load, if you want to trade on in the future.
  8. Are they easily convertible to 21mm?
  9. Site rules do require you to state a price. Obviously, you'll have to greatly inflate that, in case she sees it, but we'll assume that you'll accept reasonable offers.
  10. Is it weathered?
  11. Returns accepted? Is it sound-fitted?
  12. 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...
  13. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-england-bristol-46077533/bus-roof-ripped-off-under-bristol-railway-bridge
  14. 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/
  15. 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."
  16. That's journalists for you...
  17. No mention of a 'Karen' - did they save that until the 201 came along?
  18. 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.
  19. The lights are on, but there's nobody in...
  20. Will anyone be producing transfers?
  21. Don't overdo it. Don't make them get the First Aid kit down.
  22. A ghostly scene at Hazlehatch today...
  23. It's here - @iarnrod saw straight through it, of course.
  24. I'm liking the catering staff in full dress uniform.
  25. Steady now! You don't want to end up back on that drip...
