Now I lay me down to sleep
Counting kitties instead of sheep
There's one at my head and one on my feet
So where the blazes do I sleep?

On the floor!

Easier if you work front to back/back to front rather than side to side.

Sorry old bean, horizontal cursors don't come easily to me. I'm strictly a left to right mental scanner.

You driving a combine...

I'm not giving you the key...

Where they let you?

The sun is shining, the sky is blue, there's no wind and a traffic-free bike ride with the kids is planned.

Why do I feel apprehensive?

Why do I feel apprehensive?

There are so many answers to that question

Just to inform the house that I have 14p available to spend in my main current account.

Still got than 14p if I need it.

an exciting event happened today ....l found a compilation CD of hits from the 1970's and 80's ....the memories came flooding back, it would have been emotional overkill if l wasn't such a cold hearted bar steward

I didn't think they had cd's back then.

I'll take a stab (without Google) 1987 possibly 1986 when CD's came out, but today is a day when your first coffee of the day is not enough & I've had to go make another, but it has had to be renamed second coffee as first was already drunk.

Morning.
Concentrating on the two locos yesterday wore me out. I got one working and had it running backwards and forwards on a piece of track.
The models are a lot more detailed than they used to be with tiny pipes and handrails which makes handling them difficult . I think people must tend to display them nowadays rather than use them . At least not on ancient track.
The second loco which is becoming a pain would run backwards but would make grinding noises when running forwards . After removing the body I discovered that the motor was loose. Not sure if it has damaged the gears .

Morning all! There's a man on the roof with a big power tool. If you want to know what it sounds like, I just discovered, use an electric toothbrush while wearing earplugs. The main difference is that the roof noise is closer to B flat, while the resonant frequency of my skull is closer to the G above.

About 1985 I bought a "music centre" that had a cd player in it. It also has a record player and twin cassette thingummies. I still have it.

There should be some play, but nothing excessive, which allows for uneven track laying.

Has he been running it on a tighter curve than it's supposed to be run on.

Do you know the "R" number, if not that, the name of the loco. Don't bin anything yet, you may be able to put them back on, avoiding paying for replacement parts which may get damaged if all the axles aren't turning in the same direction.

"Heavy hands" are the biggest source of damage to the running gear. Slowly moving them until they catch on something whilst moving.

He doesn't learn. He dropped them off in 2 plastic bags !
