RMweb Gold Donw Posted March 28, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 28, 2014 I have had an exit interview but a few weeks before my retirement my boss (who had known I was going for most of the year) asked me to teach him about networks as I was the only one who understood them. How can you distil several years experience in a few days. Don Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Barry O Posted March 29, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 29, 2014 Beast, Lots of birds to photo here in nz, but a shortage of engines (new Chinese ones here are in limbo due to the odd bit of asbestos(!)lagging. When I can download them should have some shots of pretty birds but not one of the white kiwi...seems DSLRs are still short of low light imagery potential... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonBradley Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Mostly clear sky with some very high cloud visible. Max predicted = 23C, From today onwards for the next 5 days or so the daily max temp is set to decline towards 18C. I hope some of you are off to a model railway exhibition or to your own model railway for some operating. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motters Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 G'day All, Just joined up after having seen the site when Barry O was visiting a couple of weeks ago. Will be straight up and say that I'm not into Model Railways anymore, but have moved onto 7 1/4" stuff and I am curently working on the drawings for a WAGR Ms class Garratt!! When fiished it should be about 4 1/2 meters long, and powerful enough to pull a house down. Used to be a member of the Leeds Club and am still a member of its 'eating and drinking' section... if you want to know more ask Barry O... Was also a member of the 3mm Society and Mem. Sec of said for sometime. If any of you out there know remember me, please get in touch... it'll be great to hear from you. Should maybe mention that my real name is Andy Mottram. Other than that I'll be here, but just lurking in the background. Motters 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trisonic Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Home ! Only 6 hours, non-stop (well apart from the M25 and the A11) all the way ... just over 2 hours longer than it should have taken but at least it was uneventful apart from queues ! Unavoidable around London at any time on Fridays - are there still lane closures around the M40, M1, A1 junctions on the M25? If so they've been going on for a decade....maybe longer... Good job it's warm enough for rain here - we're expecting 3" inches of precip' this weekend. Which we could actually use as it is very dry now. Have a nice weekend everyone. Best, Pete.

RMweb Gold BoD Posted March 29, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 29, 2014 Morning all Now, do I go chasing Scots Guradsman or do I settle down to the papers, some modelling and the T20 game between England and Don's lot?

RMweb Premium NGT6 1315 Posted March 29, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 29, 2014 Morning all. Dull and a bit foggy outside. Not sure what I'll be doing today, but I suppose shopping for food will be one item. Off work till 11 April on the advice of my GP, so a bit of additional breathing room has been made available as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted March 29, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 29, 2014 Morning all. Sunny here. Pete, The lane closures on the M25 are now due to the rolling programme of increasing three lane sections to 4 lane. I won't be going to any exhibitions this weekend, I only go to reasonably local ones, Alexandra Palace being an exception and even that is easy via public transport from Benfleet. I'm always impressed at the distances some people travel and then still have the energy to enjoy exhibitions. However I may do some more scenic work in the garage. I added a backscene (as yet unpainted) to one end a couple of days ago. I know my artistic limitations so it will just be blue/grey sky, well it will be when I find the tin of matt vinyl I bought some years ago for a similar scene on my ON30 layout.

RMweb Gold grandadbob Posted March 29, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 29, 2014 (edited) Good morning all, Warmer today at 9oC, the sun is shining and it looks like being a nice day. Have taken tea to the Boss who appears to be in a good mood - probably because we've been invited out tomorrow for Mother's Day. It doesn't appear that I'm required for any domestic duties today and no shows to go to so the intention is to park myself in the railway room for a few hours. Have a good one and don't forget to put your clocks forward tonight, (unless of course you're somewhere that doesn't need to!) Bob.

Our clocks sprang(sic) forward at the beginning of March (which is way too early in my opinion).... Today is the last day of just being 4 hours apart from the UK. Best, Pete.

trisonic Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 (edited) Yep. Though it has warmed up appreciably in the last couple of days. Got wetter, though...we're under a Flood Watch until tomorrow evening. Not affecting me but I expect to hear of the Mississippi flooding later on in April. Meltwater plus rain. Best, Pete.

RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted March 29, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 29, 2014 I think Spring sprang is correct and so is Spring has sprung. However my resident grammarian is still sleeping! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonBradley Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Ta;king of setting clocks forward; I always have a nap after lunch. One morning however I was still feeling very sleepy after breakfast, so I lay down and ...... went into a deep sleep. An hour or so later I awoke very disorientated, looked at the bedside alarm clock and thought "Goodness gracious, it's stopped" , reached for it and began setting it forward and then looked at my wristwatch to set the clock to it, only to discover that the clock had been correct. It was ten in the morning. Well here it is now 10:20 in the morning, and it's a lovely day outside. BoD, Why was one of your options "chjasing Scots Guardsman? That was DD, when he was painting 220 of them. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium AndyB Posted March 29, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 29, 2014 Morning all, A sunny day here. So, I proposed to screw one side of the baseboard to the newly enhanced garage wall. SWMprobablyBO counter-proposed buying kitchen cupboards and balancing the layout on top of those. "What are the cupboards for?" "Additional storage." "For what?"
