We British know what we're doing (hic!!)aussie

Happy birthday Chief [nearly missed it!], mind on other things. Going to see nurse tomorrow for her to take oil and water samples for analysis re. the Diabetes. Next Friday see the Vet. for the results. Ho-hum????

I'm still searching for that Heelan Coo Jim, there has to be one out here somewhere. Sad news always seems to darken the brightest day....:sad:

Where's 'over there'? I can only handle one of these things at a time. I have quit using the other site [coffee pot] because I was getting confused.:confused:

CSXect, Kent and Yorkshire [my home county] are only 250 miles apart, if we were to use our respective dialects? Conversation would be nigh impossible.

Logicman, My family is part Jewish [not practising], no guesses as to where we'd be if not for the Vet's. XP is fine with me, but am nibbling at Vista.:-?

Got my latest CTT yesterday, great pic's of some of our very photogenic [and clever] members of the forum [Chief, Laz & Marty], Legacy certainly daunts me, I'll stick with the wotsit that came with my set, I only work one engine in steam on my tidgy pike any way. Spring Holiday this weekend...

My word another part to the thread! I can't keep up with all the goings on. BTW. It's the UK Lionel show at Ilkley 31/5/2008-Saturday. Any of you guys in UK that weekend? please come along and welcome.

0500BST and Stockport still slumbers, suns coming up, the birds are coughing, forecast 25C high, little wind. It's going to be a hot-un. Been up since 0130, couldn't sleep, dreaming about Lionel. Me and the management are going to look at yet another house just outside the original York. Haven't...

I've seen one of these mains wiring routers advertised on <www.maplins.co.uk> I do not know if they work, I suspect they may be vulnerable as the cables also run under/over the street. My experience of all this so-called wireless gadgetry has been less than happy. I have found that it is simpler...

0730BST in a frosty, cloudy and damp Stockport. Currently -2C expected high +11C. Had a retinopathy Monday, all clear. Next three Wednesdays- Dietitian-Blood samples-Vet. Last lot showed Liver and Kidney damage, possibly side effects of the Diabetes, have cut out all the garbage (chocolate...

0600GMT here in a snowy Stockport, about 60mm of the white stuff, -5C. Apparently we are more likely to get it at Easter than Xmas. Mind you when the church(es) can't make their/it's mind(s) up about an anniversary, it's hardly surprising that the weather is cranky! Any way, have a good one...

Morning from a chilly Stockport +3C sleet and snow showers GRITters are out, roads clear, me-I'm staying home with ERNI, taking 4 Black Widows with a 35 car manifest over Donner Pass, broke a coupler at Flatt but as I save every 15 minutes not too much for the dispatcher to shout at. 17MPH at...

Been semi-retired since 96 (56yo) got a one day a week job within three weeks, finished up working almost 24/7 running the whole outfit single handed after finding a market for special boiler plant components by sheer accident. Health gave out in 2000 haven't worked since. Took up supporting a...

My research into Vista indicates that it has all the necessary anti Virus stuff, firewall etc. with it and putting Norton and/or others will just screw things up. Am on XP home edition with Avast AV. no firewall, it seems to get in the way. IE7 for this (have to tell it to spell check, not much...

Good day all, the frost here in jolly Stockport is breaking with 10degC forecast for morning but it will then rain. The cold really got to my creaky old joints and it was starting to get a little tedious. Glad to have you back on terra-firma Chief, the guys were starting to get restless and in...

Minus 7C here in sunny Stockport plus 5C at lunch time.:winter1: What's wrong with this site? IE7 is fine for me, is it hat some of the ERNIs you guys are using are a bit feeble in the Gigs department, since his recent upgrade my ERNI even works with MS. I have some Mac. stuff on and that runs...

It's the same over here, Haven't been to a game of Footie since I was in my 20s. (69 and grumpier than ever).:curse: Had to dismantle Lionel, it was getting in the way, may sell? :cry:

Roger, It's out now, just got my e-mail preview.

Leave my nuts alone please!!!
