If you are looking for one I would suggest not searching for video spycam

I really enjoy your photos, both here and on in your ‘trains’ thread. We like the A696 and area. Whenever we journey north I would always use that road rather than the A1. No contest really. I don’t feel relaxed though until we get through the western bypass, and past the airport and Ponteland. When we are heading North of the Forth we time it for a cooked breakfast or bacon butty at the woollen mills in Jedburgh.

Ditto, ditto and ditto Better end result but much the same suffering.

After six weeks waiting for eye to settle, I have my new spectacles. It is nice to be able to read properly again. Muddling will come soon too. Having said that one of the books I have picked up to browse is a pictorial ‘past and present’ type book. It is one of the saddest things.

You’re a braver man than I, Gunga Din.

I think the term you were looking for was combined work event.

Start selling guns at IKEA?

Gosh. Never in the field of rhetorical questions has so much been posted by so many by so…. Phew. And today’s rhetorical question… Which is easier, strumming, plucking, tootling, plonking or umpiring?

Rhetorical question of the day… Does anyone, anywhere have a picture of GDB smiling.

Being mathematically inclined I always just round to the nearest letter.

Feeling rather sorry for Wales… … and that’s something I never, ever imagined I would hear myself say.

Over the years I bought stock in preparation for my ‘retirement’ layout. Sadly I gave little thought to what I really needed and bought many things just because I liked them. In the case of coaching stock that was also tempered by what was available too. They say ignorance is bliss. I have, however, ended up with an imbalance of stock which yes, I could run but it wouldn’t be quite right. Do I just apply rule 1 while I seek to redress that imbalance? I don’t know. For similar reasons to those outlined above I have a handful of maroon mk1 second open coaches. I wonder how hard it would be to re-livery them and make a passable job of it.

Guitars?

We are heading up to the Orkney Islands on a coach tour in just over a months time. I’m guessing that the cost of the holiday was set at the start of the year, if not last year. I didn’t read the small print* and so don’t know the legality but I have been half expecting a request for a surcharge for a few weeks now. * I have read the terms and conditions. A statement that makes a liar out of the most honest of men. Go on, admit it, you’ve all lied.

It lasts long enough to be stored?

Afternoon all. just back from the opticians. It is six weeks since my cataract op and the advice is that that is how long it takes for the eye to settle before having a test. I don’t need a ‘distance’ prescription for the eye with the recently replaced lens but the other one still needs a slight correction. More importantly though, as the lenses can no longer accommodate, I will once again be able to read more easily and see to do close up work. The lack of this facility has really started to grind me down a bit over the last six weeks. When the new spectacles arrive I might even find myself muddling again. Take care one and all … and as I’ve said before, look after your eyes they are most precious.

They do exist. https://uk.farnell.com/bourns-jw-miller/78fr10m-rc/choke-100nh-500ma-20-400mhz/dp/1180366?st=rf choke Being colourblind I can’t help with value but, as said, if you replace with wire links, the colour doesn’t really matter. Personally I prefer the nice striped two colour wire. Just out of interest, how did they get like that?

Why don't you all just say that what you really want is live, fast, cheap women.

They were well deserved.

It’s cricket, Jim, but not as we know it.

I think it’s got to be a higher power. My grandparents bought me a premium bond when I was born. It was when the bonds were first issued and although the bond amount is very, very small in today’s money it was a good chunk of their week’s wage back then. I’ll say no more about that other than it was a big sacrifice to them back then. It was put aside and totally forgotten about until I won fifty pound the month of my fiftieth birthday. Nothing before and nothin since. Can’t wait until I’m a hundred.

Are you paw-sitive about that?

Yes, it should be saved for paws-terity

Enjoy your break, Rick.

… that’s an unusual side effect for an op on the hand.
