Caledonian Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Not just that, the update sounds like the container has made the journey on its own! Whats happened to the ship? Presumably the Hornby U-boat intercepted it and the container is now bobbing along behind the salvage tug. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted April 7, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 7, 2018 (edited) Salvage.jpg I have to applaud the dedication of Hattons staff in getting these vital components of so many people's hopes and dreams to these shores even faster, but on the other hand, I'd be slightly concerned if the boxes at the bottom of the pallets were to get a little damp. Hopefully that container has a dehumidifier in it. Edited April 7, 2018 by Captain Kernow Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRman Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 The lovely city of Wellington is a very windy place. I discovered the reason that locals don't carry umbrellas the hard way. It is a beautiful place. The Kiwis also have a great sense of humour; the Wellingtonians (?) have a Hollywood-style sign on the side of a hill in the bay, but the last few letters are upswept as if being blown away by the wind.

RMweb Gold Budgie Posted April 8, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 8, 2018 Only if you're triskasomething or other. Or merely superstitious. A triskaidekaphobe is afraid of the number 13. The fear of Friday the 13th, called paraskevidekatriaphobia (from Παρασκευή Paraskevi, Greek for Friday) or friggatriskaidekaphobia (after Frigg, the Norse goddess after whom Friday is named in English).

If so would they be interested in a video on buttering toast? Wrong Hattons thread, I'm afraid but someone might have benefited from a video showing them how not to drop a 'P' class four foot onto the floor ..... apparently the loco survived but I'm not sure about Bill's nerves ! ....... and, talking of which, could you extend your buttering-toast video to show how to ensure that it lands butter-side-up when dropped, perhaps ??!? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, unboxing videos! I once watched one of those and almost fell into a coma it was that exciting. If I could be arsed to, and if my computer would let me watch youtube anyway, I'd be tempted to do one of those Downfall parodies, where Hitler will unbox a Hattons Barclay and go into a rage because there's no daylight under the boiler.
