  1. Are you storing these reissues in a suitable environment?
  2. It should be noted that the stamping doesn't occur until the recipient is wearing the hat.
  3. Excellent! All is not lost. She has remembered to confiscate his camera before sending off to the Gulag. Phew...
  4. Mmm, someone has posted elsewhere using his log-in... I suspect she's shoved him over the Russian border and is now back home, enjoying the peace and quiet.
  5. An excellent suggestion for a corporate uniform style.
  6. A solar eclipse is just starting. Is this an omen?
  7. 'Scow' would be a widespread term for all sorts of boats of a barge/lighter style, from the Dutch word, but with an anglicised spelling - you'll hear it in a lot of the English speaking world - I suspect even 'schooner' is a development from it.
  8. We used to think that about Irish railways...
  9. All this TT stuff - will they be doing Manx Railways then? I'm not sure about TT120, but I had a pair of TT100s on the Honda once, and they were OK.
  10. No problem. Don't worry about it.
  11. Anyway, they wouldn't be redundant kits, as a result of forthcoming RTR products. The would be heritage models. It's all about presentation...
  12. We demand an announcement about the forthcoming pre-announcement of the actual announcement. Perhaps somebody could announce when we might expect this to happen?
  13. New bloke for me yesterday, neither of the two that I've had for the last few years.
  14. I had a delivery on the Big Island yesterday, via Evri, which I think is a new name for Hermes, to try and lose the past reputation? Although, I personally never really had a problem with them.
  15. Mmm, have you actually seen the tickets? Has she definitely got a return for you..?
  16. Good tools are money in the bank, if you are to use them in the future.
  17. That sign reminds of driving a van back from Prague on my own, after a friend had moved there. A day of driving a RHD van on the wrong side of the road, with no rear windows, plus all the associated dealings in Czech, German and French, had my head still spinning when I came down for breakfast the next morning in Dunkirk, before heading for the tunnel. Getting access to the breakfast required me to state my room number. It was 229. I told the poor woman that it was "dva, zwei, neuf" - and she didn't bat an eyelid.
  18. Get some new ones - what you actually need* is a 'single cut bastard file', but probably best not to run into B&Q shouting that. * Dependent on the scale of the final product, of course.
  19. Mmm, thinking a bit more about this, you would/should get a better final shape by using a 'good casting' from the above method as a mould to cast the final products from.
  20. If things get really desperate, you might try forming "louvre sheets" via a suitable single-cut file used as a former. Either by bashing a malleable metal sheet into the teeth or, possibly, by casting a resin in place, after waxing the file, and hoping to peel it off in sufficiently large pieces to be used when cut down?
  21. https://www.google.com/maps/@53.3931958,-2.5900232,3a,75y,223.02h,98.56t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1si5JEKs-aYDyCg_nR0QSMVQ!2e0!7i13312!8i6656
  22. After a while, all these exotic beach holiday destinations just blur into one... The clock in Skeg is a good way from the station, and offline from it, too.
  23. I think the station might be Cleethorpes.
