Got the Feb and March 1966 somewhere, the Feb one always reminds me of the road bridge on upway bank just below the tunnel

I've got the May 1964 editions of Railway Modeller and Model Railway Constructor - to see what I would have read when I was born! :locomotive:And my late mother thought I was [railway] brainwashed! :D

It's spelt R@RE. Come on, keep up please.

 

Actually, I'm rather grateful that I don't keep up with that sort of thing.

 

It's a slippery slope from that sort of terminology to selling must have gadgets on the shopping channel.

 

Or worse still, double glazing....

No, its RARE

 

L@@K has the @s......

 

Both can be accessorised with as many !s as you desire*

You may also include "Kitbuilt" if you are entirely sure that it was made by a recognised manufacturer, such as Triang.

 

* Be aware that the use of more than three !s tends to indicate some degree of mental instability!!!!!!!!

That's strange. I haven't noticed any in young Vladimir's press releases lately.

He must be another of those very stable geniuses we put in charge of nuclear weapons...

Underlings probably delete them before his Wise Words go public. They're trained in misinformation, like those blokes who trail behind Kim Jong-un, ensuring that the !!!!!!s are not recorded in their little notebooks.

We'd probably be lumps of well-done steak by now if  "that nice Mr Trump" had achieved a second term...

From what I gather he approves of what Putin is doing. After all he did help him get his first term in office.

"Stable genius" was tRump's description of himself. It probably explains why he recommends horse dewormer to his cult as a cure for Covid.

I tried that with my birth year, but the bookshops told me the goats parchment had disintegrated.

Not that “R@RE!!!” - already sold 203 of them (as of right now!!)

Hmm, £4.40 from Dart Castings with the paper pre-cut or...

 

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/203846302614

 

Which one should people buy?


Looking at this seller’s other items, all seem to be somewhat overpriced (£45 for an empty box?!)
 

Is GOSTUDE now training eBay sellers in the art of overpricing items?!

TBH I think that variant only belongs in the Scooby-verse, along with those dratted kids. A sad example of continuing degeneration...

 

I do think that relatively "sane" folk should be allowed up to three ! in a row without becoming a concern. Honest!!!
