  1. With a proper exercise programme, you should soon be able to bend down far enough to reach the bottom shelf. However, before you get carried away with the success, you also need to work on the second stage, so that you can get back up again.
  2. The light from the window, reflected in the 'damp' setts - marvellous. I can almost hear Ena Sharples on the harmonium at the Mission, with Minnie Caldwell's cat, Bobby, snoozing on the fence.
  3. Continental Modeller always looked a bit shady to the uninformed observer.
  4. Mmm, it's completely beyond me why it thinks there is 'potentially sensitive content', it seems fairly safe to me...
  5. Excellent! Especially with the impending spell of hot weather in the offing.
  6. Stone from Campion's Quarry being tipped at the end of the siding by the bridge at Lisduff. Camion's have the south-eastern side of the hill.
  7. I sweated blood over that - well, the red icing, anyway.
  8. I noticed that it's @RobertRoche's birthday today. I ran out of red icing - I should have done the 3 before I did the couplings...
  9. A suspended sentence seems reasonable enough. As long as the nearest lampposts are structurally sound enough for the job.
  10. These day-glo spray marks have appeared on the ballast by Bridge 188, they run as far as a cabinet about a hundred yards away - presumably they signify the location of some buried ductwork.
  11. A complete dog's brexit, you might say.
  12. Mmm, I'm now considering merging the alcohol mouthwash and the eggs to make a crème de menthe advocaat cocktail.
  13. They get thrown at cars, houses and people - and statues of contentious figures.... On that subject, although the formulas generally contain rather less now, there were mouthwashes on sale on the Big Island, without any age restrictions or licensing hours, some of which contained around 40% alcohol - essentially, it was blue crème de menthe. But the issue was glossed over, as few 'interested parties' ever spotted the potential.
  14. Many places on the Big Island, too - for some time.
  15. Or just tape your mobile to it and ring it from the landline...
  16. Might it be worth rigging up a small motor with an eccentric weight on the support column? Just a little vibration can be very helpful to 'granular' flows under gravity.
  17. Good idea. This is definitely a growth area.
  18. I'm not sure, but pretty confident they've got lighting.
  19. The IRM frontmen will be working on their moves for this, I'm sure.
  20. They'll have to stand back about a hundred yards to read the information leaflet when they unpack the boxes. Any shots of what's in the accessory pack? Will IRM have the special 'blue cross' wrapper, when they finally announce them?
  21. 41
  22. Some people are more ambitious. https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/12342282.fat-controller-goes-to-jail-railway-worker-stole-train-engines-and-coaches-and-sold-them-on-to-enthusiasts/
