  1. I wonder if she was looking at doghouses..?
  2. I believe that you can order them and pick them up from Marks.
  3. Not there for me, either.
  4. Plans may be afoot - https://www.kildarenow.com/news/minister-ross-sets-aside-funds-bring-dart-kildare-among-numerous-projects-county/189200 . murrayec may have to expand production...
  5. This picture of Kiltimagh has appeared on Twitter.
  6. Confusion is good for the soul.
  7. Mmm, it used to be there, but it's gone for me, too, now.
  8. Do stand back from the yellow line, and put the brakes on anything with wheels, if available.... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-41573283/rail-safety-buggy-smashed-by-freight-train
  9. An interesting programme - http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00m69ws . Radio, so it should be available to all.
  10. The vapour barrier should be on the inside of the insulation, I believe, to stop internally generated water from condensing into the insulation, when it reaches a suitable point in the temperature gradient. As above - the roof is where the warm (moist) air will congregate. I suspect that, if you are just breathing in there and not boiling kettles or using unflued combustion heaters, then you may well be OK as it stands. The vents, for a reasonable bit of air-change, will definitely help.
  11. A vapour barrier can work both ways. If you're spending a lot of time in there (and breathing), then you need to consider how that moisture gets out.
  12. Received, loud and clear.
  13. I genuinely only suggested that because I thought it might be handy for the Guards when things get out of hand....
  14. Might I tentatively suggest the Café Bar on Store Street? The night'll probably end up across the the road, anyway...
  15. Phew, I thought you had planted some sort of mind-reading cookie...
  16. Free postage in the UK. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/132346187898?ul_noapp=true
  17. Good idea. I have suggested before that badges with the appropriate avatar picture on might help, too. Keeping an eye out for soldering iron burn marks, orange paint under the fingernails and glue in the hair (of those that still have any), would also help.
  18. Possibly, I know he has two and my one may have been leased out there at that time. There is a passenger's-eye-view of his other layout, too. Nice bit of flange-squeal simulation on that one, courtesy of the mirror hitting simething. And driver's-eye-views, without the mirror.
  19. I find that a pasted URL is sometimes rejected, but just typing the image tags myself usually gets around it.
  20. This is a bit rough, but I mounted a small camcorder on a bogie flat, with a mirror at 45 degrees, to get a "passenger's eye view" of a friend's layout. It could be done a lot better than this with a bit more time and thought.
  21. Vigilance can pay off. Many years ago, a friend of mine had the boot of his Cortina forced at work and four items were stolen, including a trolley jack and a socket set. It really upset him and he constantly referred to it for weeks afterwards. I didn't notice that he always recited the four items in the same order until I was reading the small ads in the local paper six months later and realised that I had read one advert in 'his voice'. I rang him, he lived some way away and wouldn't have seen the paper, "Does this sound familiar?" "They're mine!". He rang the cops and they went round and got the stuff back. If they hadn't written the advert in the same order as he went on and on about it, I might not have spotted it...
  22. Wagon. Wagon. Bogie wagon. Bogie wagon. Coach. Coach. Shunter. Bo-Bo. Co-Co. Steamer. Turf-burner. Seems obvious to me.
  23. Another run on Wednesday. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-41337496
