RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted October 11, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 11, 2016 Having forwarded the stupid reply ( "we dont know if anything is missing") I received from the courier company to Beerhawk within an hour I had a message. The courier company had now said they had lost the carton and Beerhawk are despatching a replacement by express delivery. They were apologetic but I said I was confident that they would sort it out as my friend said nice things about their customer service. 18 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted October 11, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 11, 2016 (edited) I suspect GDB was fine until he took up railway modelling. It deserves to be classified as an extreme sport. Edited October 11, 2016 by Tony_S Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lightengine Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 It does indeed. You are another that has còllided. 1 blast means I am turning to starboard and will leave you on my port side. 2 blasts is turning to port 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightengine Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 My seaman colleague Stewart on the bridge one day was asked to sound the horn twice. He did it 3 times. The OOW quickly reminded him that he was supposed to sound it twice, so he sounded it twice more. Twice is turning to port. Thrice is my engines are in reverse. 5 times is I am unsure what your intentions are. Stewart very nearly confused everyone that day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDolfelin Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 I have a petrol one in the garage, donated to me by youngest son; who does this sort of thing for a job, but he has to don all manner of helmets, goggles, gloves, etc., just to use it (H&S), and I don't have all that, and he is at work so unavailable. Anyway if the truth be known, I am scared of chainsaws because I can imagine what happens if they slip, or the chain breaks - and being accident prone, I don't want to die just yet. A chap was killed near here last year - using a chain saw. Alone and working in a field there was no alarm raised until much too late. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium BSW01 Posted October 11, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 11, 2016 Brother in law is now deemed fit enough to have his Hickman line inserted tomorrow at Christies then his first chemo on Thursday, so I am taking him across in the morning for this. The staff are brilliant at the Christie and will no doubt reassure your brother in law while this is fitted and whilst he has his chemo. I was lucky enough not to need one for my own treatment, my chemo was administered via a cannula in the back of my hand. I hope all goes well for him tomorrow and for the rest of his treatment.

RMweb Gold grandadbob Posted October 11, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 11, 2016 Talking of drink deliveries (I think we were) my wine arrived yesterday 20 minutes into the appointed time slot and delivered by a smiling Yodel driver. About 10 minutes later I got a text saying that it had been left in a safe place (front porch) and a card left showing details. The case of wine was left in a safe place, namely my own two hands, which happened to be in the porch at the time. I'm still looking for the card with the details.......

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted October 11, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 11, 2016 Work done until Monday. Two days golf, followed by three days of model railwaying...... Friday morning will be a bit of a rush, returning home from about 60 miles away, dropping golf gear, loading layout and stock and then braving the road network on a Friday to take old faithful NB to BRM Peterborough. Final stock sorting tonight in readiness for Friday. I may be gone some time. Cheers, Mick 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnDMJ Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Good evening all, and, it appears, an interesting day on this forum! Those familiar with the electronic arts will immediately recognize this as a "sawtooth" function. The up (acquisition) ramp has a very slow rise while the down (dispersal) ramp drops like a rock. Or is it just the loco shed roof? I think you missed the fact that I was merely referring to personal windage and alcohol After that (the alcohol possibly being an off real ale causing repercussions) turning to Port might be a safer bet, although it is 15% proof! 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coombe Barton Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 There is a photograph of a mechanical horse and trailer carrying a standard container in one of the early editions of 'Bylines', the container overhung the trailer by two or three feet, apparently this was usual practice. The Dublo Dinky Bedford flat lorry was made to carry the Hornby Dublo container and was excessively long as a result.

RMweb Premium New Haven Neil Posted October 11, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 11, 2016 G'evening. Hmm, chainsaws. I use one, and wear all the doozer gear. They, like many other things, are safe to use provided you follow the rules. Simple things, like not standing in line with the blade so if it kicks up, it misses your head...... A doozer, earlier. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium New Haven Neil Posted October 11, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 11, 2016 AndyID - I live in a timber frame house, so the flue for our woodburner needs an insulated flue through the ceiling and rafters.

AndyID Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Are the US rules national, then? Are there no state rules? The electrical code in Canada is provincial. I presume you would, but if you do it yourself, make sure you get it inspected. Not doing that will mean the shed (and contents!) will be uninsured in case of any problems. I don't think the states have to adopt the NEC, but I think most if not all of them do. Idaho does, but it has legislated specific exceptions in the past. Yes, I will make sure it's all legit. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was £100 a foot 10 years ago! Seems I got a bargain then Actually the one foot sections here are not that much less than the three foot sections. The rule here is that the entire chimney that projects above the roof has to be insulated. Pine and fir needles can really build up on roofs here. The insulated chimney is to prevent them catching fire. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
