  1. As I paged down I thought 'Wrong Way' was a street name.
  2. They'd need a bigger venue if Rod Stewart was invited to and agreed to open the next show.
  3. Afternoon all from Estuary-Land. Out tonight to test a few models on the SEERS test track. He should take up model railroading.
  4. Morning all from Estuary-Land. The bin wagons dawn chorus has been and gone and included the lesser spotted glass and bottle. Off now to study the latest edition of Bylines that has only just arrived. Be back later.
  5. It seems that Nissan got it right during the 1980's. Its a shame that there seems to be few survivors. Probably due to a shortage of replacement parts and the scrappage scheme.
  6. Dave, have another look at Hanover Trust, they and quite a few others do care packages 'at home'. And with that goodnight all.
  7. Evening all from Estuary-Land. Intended for American tourists rather than British methinks.
  8. And all the citizens are related to each other, several times over.
  9. Afternoon all from Estuary-Land. ChrisF, as others have said, ditch the Xxxxxx, either he'll go away in search of another victim or he will show his true colours. Either way your best rid of him. Nothing planned for the Bank holiday weekend, its either been there, seen that or too far away/roads will be congested. Club night tonight were no doubt events in Stamford at the weekend will be discussed.
  10. They weren't singled, the tracks were interlaced.
  11. Morning all from Estuary-Land. First of all best wishes to Debs and Sandy and any other ailing ER's. Inspected the bottom of the garden, the brambles are back. Not a surprise as they come through from an adjacent property that is rented and frequently changes tenants. I shall have to finish emptying the old shed and remove it to get better access. I mentioned that my (not so) old house in Romford is being demolished to make way for blocks of flats. The Romford signal box was quite literally at the bottom of the garden, perched on the embankment. I can't help wondering if the Japanese knotweed that used to come through from the embankment has been dealt with. One of the last things I did before I moved was too cut the stuff down to about six inches and fill the hollow stalks with rock salt. This was effective within my own garden but there were still some on the embankment.
  12. I noticed on Facebook last night that the other fund raiser has closed the account and is passing all funds raised to the official site.
  13. And there is some sort of sling over the bags. Being transferred from shore to ship perhaps? (In the book it says that the dock was used for the export of china clay.)
  14. Great news re. Sandy John. Wishing you both all the best.
  15. Evening all from Estuary-Land. Chatting to my neighbour across the way, he was busy laying a patio to the shed/summerhouse he built in the back garden. Dave, glad to hear that you've found a place for your dad. I'm lucky in that Hanover trust have some properties locally, even better they're only about a quarter mile from my model railway club. Teas brewed so its be back later.
  16. Two cars that I had owned 20 years have all but disappeared. The Suzuki SJ jeep, only a handful remain and all are Sorned, none whatever on the road. The other was a Nissan Prairie (1988 F reg), one of the best cars I have ever owned, only three registered for the road.
  17. Follow the road south and it ends at the California University Desert Research Centre.
  18. Mine downloaded last night. The blue screen with the revolving dots saying 'do not shut down your computer' carried on for ages despite saying that the download was 100% complete.
  19. Morning all from Estuary-Land. Breakfast has been had and tea drunk, not a lot else to be reported. Dave, check out the Hanover Trust*. They provide sheltered housing from warden controlled independent housing to care homes. My grandfather spent his final years in one of their warden controlled apartments. I have put my name down with them for when the time comes when/if I can no longer live independently. *Other similar organisations are available.
