  1. Looks interesting.
  2. It may be to do with this - http://strabanechronicle.com/2014/06/railway-project-hits-the-skids-because-of-its-size/ - i believe that it's in Strabane Library now.
  3. I have an old South Bend - very like this.
  4. This video has been suggested to me as possibly being of some help, although I suspect not.. Another person, who is a dedicated Apple fan-boy and believes that they can do no wrong, wonders if you are using an up-to-date OS? He believes that it "shouldn't happen" if you are, which, of course it shouldn't, but, then, it shouldn't happen anyway....
  5. Mmmm...? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCZfIwuS4JM
  6. I have one of the early Lidl cordless multi-tools - the cells began to fail after a good while and I managed to open the battery and replace them - they are AA size, so it wasn't too difficult. It works very well and I have hardly ever felt the need to plug the mains one in since then. I did also replace the collets with a chuck and that has been a useful mod, I feel. I can't vouch for whether the later batteries are openable or not - anything can be done, I suppose, but there can be a tendency to impede the consumer these days...
  7. Current and upcoming UK Lidl offers can be found here - http://www.lidl.co.uk/en/index.htm - you may need to enter a postcode to select a store, as there can be regional variations in the current offers - usually just a few weeks difference between UK & Ireland - always worth a look every week or so... Same applies to UK Aldi - https://www.aldi.co.uk/ .
  8. Pulling a Cú na Mara set.
  9. This - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-34932308 - might be leaf-related, although there's no mention of that in the report here. The smoke here looks engine-related, although the fire service stated the fire was around the wheels.
  10. As this member would no doubt agree - http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/member.php/186-Rapid130RS . I saw a 130 on the road a couple of years ago.
  11. Always looking for an excuse for this 1970s Hungarian rally-based video. Trabants, Skodas, Ladas and an FSO.
  12. More...
  13. Allegedly seen yesterday.
  14. A friend of mine does the printing at an MOD location - he got sent to an exhibition today and saw this 3-D printed, gold plated example on the Canon stand. I understand it to be a copy of some famous cup, complete with dents, scratches and nicks.
  15. Cellulose can be difficult to apply over some non-cellulose finishes, too.
  16. They regard trains in general, and passengers in particular, as a nuisance.
  17. There's often problems with them not having valid tickets.
  18. I went once, on a Sunday, having won some free tickets - it was an ordeal and I doubt I'll do it again soon. Stafford is on at the start of February and is a lot more civilised.
  19. I have asked for advice from some tame geeks and got this - http://iphonephotographyschool.com/iphone-photos-upside-down/
  20. ¡ʍou uıɐbɐ ʎɐʍ ʇɥbıɹ ǝɥʇ dn ʞɔɐq ɹoʇıuoɯ ʎɯ uɹnʇ oʇ ǝʌɐɥ oʇ buıob ɯ,ı 'ɥo
  21. I get on OK with mine.
  22. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-norfolk-34797519
  23. I'm still running an Atari 1040 STF - with a massive 20 Meg hard-drive.
  24. We had a Commodore Pet in 1978. The first thing I ever used with a screen - all teletypes before that.
