trisonic Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 (edited) But can you Beta? I loved a Beta HPE. My Great Uncle had a Giulia Sprint GT Veloce. DOHC 1,600 cc c/w 5 speed box, bloody exotic for 1966! Best, Pete. Edited May 5, 2012 by trisonic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
travelintrev Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Morning all, Suns just breaking through some low cloud, cocks are crowing, (or making a bl***dy din!) and one of the village peacocks is joining in! Enjoy your day Trev. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonBradley Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Morning all, Partly cloudy, very little blue sky or sunlight apparent yet but will hopefully still make an appearance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted May 5, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 5, 2012 Morning all. Greetings from a cool and slightly cloudy Essex. We are off to Northamptonshire today to spend the weekend with Aditi's brother. Matthew will join us from Leicester. I've never owned an Italian car, my Dad had a Fiat Mirafiore. He went out to buy a new Lada but bought the used Fiat instead. Apart from the rust and electrical problems he seemed to like it. Tony Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium NGT6 1315 Posted May 5, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 5, 2012 Morning all... Too busy to post anything yesterday, so I hope you'll excuse my absence... Builders are working next door, so I still cannot sleep in as late as I would have liked. I think I'll hit the sack rather early tonight. In any case, I hope you'll all be having a calm weekend...

Debs. Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 I`m dropping my Father off at the landing-stage, for a rare and unusual trip (on a Mersey Ferry) into Garston Dock this morning.......then I`ll be mowing/tidying/strimming the (now) near-jungle that I laughably call my rear-garden.......the dogs will surely be thrilled; for, their 'botties' have been tickled by tall-grass, nettles and weeds for several weeks since! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted May 5, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 5, 2012 have been tickled by tall-grass, nettles and weeds for several weeks since! My dog is very fond of seeking out clumps of nettles for lavatorial use. I'm sure he doesn't mean for me to get stung when "tidying up" for him. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold BoD Posted May 5, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 5, 2012 I was correct* about the blue sky. It has all but gone. It is 2C outside and it is sleeting. Typical bank holiday then. *I know……… ……it doesn't happen very often. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordon s Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Morning all. Seems like last week's horror story was not an isolated incident...

sixoh8sixoh Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Rotten b••••••s Gordon! Morning all. Blue skies here just now. No doubt BoD's sleet will spread up... Off to the West shortly. Like Debs I'll be on a slipway today. Planning to take the ferry across from Largs to Great Cumbrae. Have a good Saturday all! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold PhilH Posted May 5, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 5, 2012 (edited) Mornig all, another wet one. Just going in to Eastleigh loco works to do some work on 30925 trying to get it somewhere near ready for its appearance at York Railfest. Looks like we're going to be here till midnight again, all because we (supposedly) love it. Have a good one. Edited May 5, 2012 by PhilH 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted May 5, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 5, 2012 Change of plans here. We will be at home. Aditi has been infected with that virus that people working in education seem to get, the one the gives flu like symptoms whenever a holiday or long weekend arrives. I've cancelled Robbie's weekend away but although I think he was suspicious about something (all of his belongings had been washed in preparation for his hols) I'm sure he won't mind.

RMweb Premium Sidecar Racer Posted May 5, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 5, 2012 (edited) Good Morning from a rain free ( at the moment at least ) locality . Spent several hours and far to much money at the Bristol show yesterday , a few very nice layouts and the usual mix of okay ones . Some good trade meant the hand was in the pocket a little to often though . I'll try to have a quiet day today I think , a quick trip to the shops and some shed time ought to do it . Have a good one all . Edited May 5, 2012 by Sidecar Racer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted May 5, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 5, 2012 Morning all, Still that same old cloudy overcast here - the sort that looks as if it is bringing rain but doesn't (just like most of the cloud over Australia from what I saw there). Well we didn't obtain an exercise bike yesterday - basically it seems that John Lewis in Reading has ceased to take an interest in folk who clearly want to buy things but find an entire dept staffed by one person whose sole interest is in selling sports shoes. So today we are off to a local jeweller for a look at his 'pre-owned' stock - one hopes the 'right thing' might not be there or today's spending might make me wish I'd gone to the Bristol show (and I much prefer jewellery shopping at auction - it's cheaper, a lot cheaper). I wonder if anybody local sells exercise bikes? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium skipepsi Posted May 5, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 5, 2012 Morning all, a bright sunny day when I took the dog for a walk round the garden by the time we came back it looked like rain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Morning All, (Well - not really - I should probably say Afternoon all!) It is somewhat overcast here today, and it has been drizzling most of the morning. As promised here are some photos from Miniatur Wunderland - most were taken by my Girlfriend, she is a better photographer than I am! Have a good day everyone... The rest can be seen here: http://s590.photobuc...tur Wunderland/ 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium 45156 Posted May 5, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 5, 2012 Afternoon All Late on parade again - went for a longish walk first, then got bogged down in the fiendishly difficult jigsaw - it's already driving me mad, and I'm pretty convinced that there's only half the pieces there! These Wentworth puzzles are not for the faint hearted, but they are strangely addictive - I think I might actually acquire a few more (I see they turn up on Ebay quite often). It's overcast now, and when I went out first thing, the temperature was about 3oc and the bird bath in the back was frozen quite solid - forecast is for chilly nights for a few days. Gordon this putting down of poison is nothing short of despicable - though the twisted individual responsible will have some sort of obscure reason for doing this, and when caught should just be let loose after an announcement in the local rag as to what he/she did and the local pet owners can do the rest.

sixoh8sixoh Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 The best laid plans of mice and men. Spending the day gardening. Largs and Cumbrae tomorrow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium 45156 Posted May 5, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 5, 2012 Largs and Cumbrae tomorrow. Indeed - have fun - I used to love going to Millport for the day after getting an ice cream in Nardini's. The thought of a ferry trip on a Sunday brings to mind the words of of the song: "To whistle or be merry Or travel on a ferry Would get you hung On Scotland's Sabbath Day" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium NGT6 1315 Posted May 5, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 5, 2012 I just read how a 27-year old motorist trashed a McLaren F1 on the autobahn last night. While he did not suffer any injuries, the car's a total write-off, with the police estimating the damage to be about 240,000 € and attributing the accident to lack of care and attention.
