RMweb Premium Sidecar Racer Posted September 10, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 10, 2012 Morning all , I did'nt bother calling in yesterday even after the outage was sorted . Looks like Mike is slowly heading in my direction at the moment , I might venture up to the sea front and see if I can see him leaning over the rails . Wishing you well for today Ian , as stated , you will not be alone but surrounded by all of your ER friends and no doubt many others . 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
iL Dottore Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 I just saw that today's the service for Deb - my thoughts are with you at this time, Ian F 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Morning all. I didn't get on first thing. Having taken the little guy to school I got stuck in two traffic jams. One for roadworks and one for an accident involving an unfortunate motorcyclist. That meant having to hit the ground running when I got to work. Fingers crossed for you today Ian. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortliner Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 (edited) Ian, if the tears come, it is all part of the process - You have a lot of friends on here who will be (Virtually) standing beside you - hope it goes as you would wish Edited September 10, 2012 by shortliner 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonBradley Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Having found RMweb up late yesterday afternoon, I then promptly ran out of CAPS. Got a resupply this morning whilst out doing Bank business, so only just logged on now. Ian very much to the fore of my mind. I think service is over by now. Best wishes Ian.. It rained overnight but Sun is out now and blue sky inbetween white clouds. Gordon, have read your philosophical post in your layout thread and studied the new plan. Does that mean the recent points built into the storage yard are once again redundant and you will be starting again? Forget the award from the Timber Merchants Guild, there's now one on it's way from the rail manufacturer's Association. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi I think you are correct about the funeral as 11am in France would be 10 in the UK. What are CAPS? I don't think it could be school or baseball, or a shortage of upper case letters. Googling CAPS and South Africa didn't help me much either! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trisonic Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Trust everything went as well as could be expected, Ian. It's only 7:30am here... Pete. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Popular Post Oldddudders Posted September 10, 2012 RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted September 10, 2012 The cremation went as well as these thing can, and I got through my 8-page eulogy (ok it was 14-point) - the French mourners seemed to appreciate my effort to treat them equally. There were about 30 mourners,which was ideal for me to meet and greet, and I knew every one. There had been some networking, so even people I hadn't contacted showed up. Neil drove from Cheshire, which is impressive. He & Fiona had entertained Deb there a very few weeks ago. Derek and Joyce - he's 72 - drove from Burgess Hill. So, the job's done - I didn't wait to watch the CCTV relay of the actual burning, thanks - and now I can release my stranglehold on ERs! I have three friends coming round tonight - and one is bringing dinner. Your enormous outpouring of support, by so many RMwebbers in so many contributions, has helped me get this far, and the trees should be thinner from here on. Unlike the paperwork! Thankyou all! 25 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trisonic Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 (edited) I must say that the French, as usual, very much do things in their own way......some good, some weird. Best, Pete. Edited September 10, 2012 by trisonic 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coombe Barton Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Needn't say it, Ian, but when the local support isn't there and you need it we're all just a keyboard away. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonBradley Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Hi Tony, I asked Tim what the term was for the volume of download I was allowed and he said it was Caps. I meant the megawhatsits that the Service Provider allows me to use before I get thrown off the Internet.. At the flat I had an ADSL line with 50 mehawhatsits a month. Here at the home I am on their system and am working on a trial and error basis until I find out how much/many thingies I use in a month . Tim took me to the Bank this morning to register my change of address and set up Stop Orders for my board and lodging and intenet access here.also cancelled my ADSL line It took TWO hours! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonBradley Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 The 2nd Twenty-20 game this afternoon/evening. According to my TV program coverage is from our time 7:00 pm until 11:00. Far too late for me. My bedtime is 10:00 pm. Any body else planning to watch? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium NGT6 1315 Posted September 10, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 10, 2012 Ian, I'm sure I speak for all ERs when I say we'll continue to be there for you whenever you may need a sounding board in the weeks and months to come. The sky had been hung with thick grey clouds from about noon onwards, but the sun has burned through once again, so with the North Sea breeze rushing through the pines, this moment does have symbolic value to me. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted September 10, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 10, 2012 The 2nd Twenty-20 game this afternoon/evening. According to my TV program coverage is from our time 7:00 pm until 11:00. Far too late for me. My bedtime is 10:00 pm. Any body else planning to watch? I may watch. Though the dinner I'm doing tonight needs watching carefully so my attention will be elsewhere for awhile. I did wonder if your internet usage was capped but probably confused myself wondering if it was a SA specific term. Perhaps the T20 match will not last as long as predicted anyway!

RMweb Premium NGT6 1315 Posted September 10, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 10, 2012 There must be a pheasant somewhere in the woodlands around here - at least I think the calls I'm hearing are from one of these.

RMweb Premium 45156 Posted September 10, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 10, 2012 Evening All Firstly, I was sending supportive thoughts towards France this morning, and I hope they were received. Ian - I do hope that things went as well as they could, and I was pleased to see your update on how the funeral went. Don't forget that for the bad days, we will be here to offer whatever support we can - I know we've said it before, but there's no harm in saying it again. We'll also be here for the good days. Update on the weather here in Lancaster - it's raining, and I got totally soaked walking from work to the car (and I had to wait for the deluge to moderate to a downpour). Not long in, and dinner's just ready, so Regards to All Stewart 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordon s Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Gordon, have read your philosophical post in your layout thread and studied the new plan. Does that mean the recent points built into the storage yard are once again redundant and you will be starting again? Forget the award from the Timber Merchants Guild, there's now one on it's way from the rail manufacturer's Association. So Don, I didn't answer your question. Possibly...:-) I have no hang up with that decision as pointwork has little cost in components. It's all labour and time and in my world, zero cost. The upside of Templot is that you can get some wonderful flowing trackwork. The downside is every turnout is custom built, so change the plan and you have to make new turnouts. I've probably got the best part of 100 kicking around from earlier layouts, all of which may be just a few mm out, but can't be used in a Templot plan. OK you can lay the turnouts and tweak flexi track to fit and might get away with it in a small branch, but if everything is to truly flow into a large terminus, then every radius and crossing angle has to be perfect. The plug and play fun of RTR track is a world away from Templot. That's both a positive and negative..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordon s Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Fabulous tennis from Murray taking the first set after 1hr 27mins and the best tie break I've ever seen!!! C'mon Andy......but can I stay awake? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixoh8sixoh Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 I only have the radio (no Sky) so it loses something. I'm off to sleep now, but fully expect when I wake up for work in about 7 hours, to be able to listen to the fifth set live. Good luck Andy...

RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted September 10, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 10, 2012 I wonder if Don stayed up to see the cricket. Some good catching even if there wasn't a result in the end. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
