RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted August 29, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 29, 2014 Secondly why do you associate a car with a domestic garage? Very odd idea and the last time I put one of my cars in a garage was a couple of decades back into the last century (before we accumulated all that junk) in fact I couldn't even get a car into the present garage if I tried because the approach ramp isn't there, let alone several hundredweight of building materials and logs between the drive and the garage. I obtained the tenancy of a garage almost 2 years ago, the garage actually adjoins my property. I made enquiries with my insurers about reducing my insurance, the answer was yes, about £10 per annum but I had to keep the car in the garage and if I left it on the drive and it was stolen the insurance would not cover it. Now the garage is used for storage and the car stays on the drive. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium New Haven Neil Posted August 29, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 29, 2014 Evening all, as they used to say at old work. A windy but dry day after a wet night, but racing ended badly with a 3 bike crash, suspect not good outcome for some. Garages, ah yes, whoever would want to put a car in one? Ref my photo the other evening of the bikes - they are on the narrow pathway that leads to my double garage! No way to get a car down there, 2 cars and campervan stay on the dirveway. Tony, nice photo of you both, but neither of you look as I had imagined, except Aditi's height! Funny how we build up images which have no basis. I used to play a little game when I worked in recruitment for a large NHS Trust, imagining people's appearance from a CV and then comparing the reality when I interviewed them - 30% pass rate! So I'm not very good at it, which you have just proved once more 20 years later. Silly sod, aren't I! 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted August 29, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 29, 2014 I have a large self planted blackcurrant bush in my front garden that I have left alone apart from the odd trim as it hides a rather ugly brick wall and provides food for birds etc. This year there is plentiful fruit on it that has just ripened. Rather unusually it is now also in flower for the second time this year. There is such an abundance of fruit and berries this year that the birds seem to be ignoring the blackcurrants so I might just pick the fruit anyway.

bbishop Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I've been thinking of Jock today. My last Prom was Friday and was Mahler 2, an exceptionally gloomy work until the last few minutes, when it ends in a burst of optimism. Here's hoping.

bbishop Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Dom, Why does your Leipzig tram show route 22, when you say it's on route 4? This one really is on route 22, albeit in Prague. Bill 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
travelintrev Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Morning all, No rail related stuff to-day, though was allowed to buy some modelling related tools in Walmart (aka Asda - in UK) Nice little battery drill / screwdriver with set of drill bits 1/16" - 1/4" . For about 12 quid. . Ferry ride tomorrow as we're off to Vancouver Island. So maybe some marine type holiday snaps. Enjoy your weekend the best you can.

RMweb Premium NGT6 1315 Posted August 30, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 30, 2014 Morning all. Having to get up so early on weekends should be prohibited. Bill, this was a preserved tram from the Möckern Tram Museum on an excursion. It's quite common for excursions to be marked for lines which were either typical for the relevant cars or which do not exist any longer. Leipzig's tram lines have been reshuffled multiple times since the system was opened, so that today, there actually isn't any route 22. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trisonic Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Morning all. Having to get up so early on weekends should be prohibited. Well, it should be outlawed Dom, I agree. When I had a steady gig I used to get Migraines on the days I when I was off. D’oh! My doctor suggested getting up at the same time on my days off (and having a nap during the day). It worked - not perfectly but it reduced them by about 90%. Best, Pete. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiffy2 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Good morning all. Up early, as today we are going to Wimbledon to restock Julie's craft stall (Fayre and Square in the Centre Court) and then on to see Son #3 and family in Bermondsey, so some tasty London driving today. I started my Comeback to Brass yesterday with an Alan Gibson wagon underframe. After much trepidation I got some of it bent up and went to put in the bearings - ping! Now waiting for delivery from Mainly Trains... Also from Axminster for a Parrot Vice, which looks a very handy bit of kit. Won't be back on until this evening, and hoping for good news from or of Jock. Interesting about the migraines, Pete, I suffered from exactly the same until I had kids, and sleeping late was no longer an option! Have a good one, all. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted August 30, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 30, 2014 Morning. A nice sunny day has been forecast. I didn't think it was raining but Robbie was damp when he came back in after his early run round the garden. Not a lot planned for today.

RMweb Gold grandadbob Posted August 30, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 30, 2014 Good morning all, Dull start but should be a mainly dry day with sunny spells and chance of some rain this evening. In a couple of hours I have to ferry SWMBO (who's been up since 6.45 - baking ) to our daughter's abode as she is assisting with catering for a "family day" later. (my culinary expertise and advice is not required). This means I'm a free agent until later so am weighing up my options. I could garden....but I did some of that yesterday ....too much would be boring. I could do some modelling......... it's about time. My problem there is I'm seriously thinking about ripping it all up and starting again so that it looks less like a train set. I could visit a model railway exhibition. There's one at Tadworth which is only about 7 or 8 miles away. I could sit in front of my screen wittering away here....again. Have a good one, Indecisive of Sutton. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might John but then again so often I see what other people achieve and think how on earth can I get anywhere near that. Mind you if it was a quarter as good as some I'd be pretty pleased!
