  1. If music be the food of love etc. That was ours for 'O' level too, Along with Kim Do you like Kipling? I don't know I've never Kippled before. ... and Chaucer's Prologue. I'm not even going to attempt to quote that.
  2. Nobody said anything about a rubber hippo. It was a request for HH in rubber. Hang on, I’ve just seen bear’s post. Forget about that. Mind you, why bear automatically associated rubber with bondage in his search, I’ll leave you to wonder.
  3. Do magazines only review models sent to them for review or do they go out and ‘obtain’ models to review. Obviously it would be impossible to review everything produced but how do you decide what to review? Do you review, or include in some way, everything manufacturers send you? If so then is there then an element of the manufactures indulging in ‘product placement’
  4. I use the signalist SC1 too. The only disadvantage in your case is that , because each one can control 4 2-aspect lights, you would need to buy 2 and would have two unused blocks. You nave other uses for these though. The instructions are comprehensive and clear. Downloadable here
  5. The type and number of decoders needed will depend on the number of aspects on your signals. Are they all two aspect signals?
  6. I’m much brighter than I look in piccies too. Don’t you lot even think about a reply ………
  7. I like most heroes but my least favourites are the double decker and fudge. Sorry, but somebody had to, so best get it out of the way early.
  8. I can manage a brick - but only when very scared.
  9. Surely somebody here is going to claim deep fried mars bars? Me? I claim all the Christmas cake with cheese you care to send. And it’s still before twelfth night so no bad luck either.
  10. Schrodinger’s walrus?
  11. Good morning all. I can understand why Kiwi say their sales are diminishing. Like GDB, since retiring, I only have one pair of shoes that require ‘a proper spit and polish’. Nowadays that pair of shoes usually only comes out for funerals.
  12. That's got the paranoid amongst us thinking. I've always found that the best response to anyone who asks "What's wrong with me?" is to reply " You mean apart from the obvious ..." and then sit back and watch them stew.
  13. The only beans that I don’t get on with particularly are human beans. Morning all.
  14. I think that current ruling is that ball only has to be heading toward the goal before being deflected for a player to claim that they scored it rather than it being an OG.
  15. Would that be pointing to Kerry then?
  16. Baked beans … the new Brussels Sprouts.
  17. You need to get in there and sort that lineout out (and Marler).
  18. What won tonight’s lottery then?
  19. Once upon a time, back in the day when you did such things, I was trying to change a car light bulb. After trying to bend my arm through four ninety degree turns and feeling my way about I still wasn’t getting anywhere. (Can you see where this is heading?) After watching in some amusement, my brother-in-law suggested that I ease my mobile phone in and take a photo. Brilliant idea, I changed the bulb no problem. “Thanks”, I said. “Where did you get that idea?” “Remember, I’m a gynaecologist”, was his reply.
  20. It wouldn’t be too long before you painted it yellow.
  21. Evening all. 1. Re TVs. Our son in law likes to have the latest of everything and so regularly ‘upgrades’ his TV and sound system whether it needs it or not. To be fair to them, they work hard and don’t go out very much, if at all, so watching films at home is something they enjoy and do regularly. The upside is that we tend to get the cast offs and so have the latest, but one, TV - gratis. We had to refuse the last one though as it was too big for our situation. 2. Re GP appointments. I have had breathlessness since I had covid. Nothing serious but I can’t do some things that I used to enjoy. Getting old too, I suppose. It has got worse recently so I mentioned it at my recent diabetes (by phone) review. Nurse said it should be checked out. This was on a Thursday the week before Xmas. Booked in on the Monday for an ECG and GP appointment on Wednesday. ECG normal, lungs sounded ok but was referred for X-ray. Contacted yesterday and X-ray is on Tuesday. . I suspect that in some places it would be expected for that all to happen in one visit with results available too, but I’m not complaining. That doesn’t make it any easier for those who are having difficulties gettin appointments though. 3. Re other things. Nothing to report. Have a good weekend folks.
  22. If you are looking to purchase in the near future then, sadly, your choice may be limited by stock availability of some of the systems, or the components of some systems at the moment. For very much the same reason that there are long waiting times for some new cars.
