Ta, very tempted, but I am looking to get a cyclocross bike in time for the winter commute, something with discs and drops, and to have the hybrid as a backup.

Can't make my mind up which one to go for, and if I will have saved up enough before the snow comes

Video from the West Lancs Light Railway summer gala where Arch was on the footplate.

Can anyone spot Arch?
She should be firing on No22 Montaban. I can't see her at all as my video player is playing 'hit and miss' image frames.

Anyway, last night I was using a needle de-scaler to make lots of noise clean up these ex Southport sewage works beams that will be the railway's turntable.

It is very nice I am just setting mine up now, loads of storage and quick compared with my Samsung Tab 2 it replaces.

I have the version one Nexus, I really like it, but I was thinking of upgrading to the version 2 one and giving my mother the old one (it would mean doing things liking checking facebook, reading books, video calling me , can be done without powering up the laptop, and something like the tablet is unlikely to end up in the wash... which is why she doesn't have a smartphone... note: I don't live at home, so it would be a way to keep in touch).

I like your landlords

Me too

My landlords have just given me a chocolate cake.

My landlords leave all of us in the house wine at Xmas and chocolate eggs at easter.
My sister gets the wine to take home to the parents, but the choc egg stays well within my field of vision (until its eaten the same evening in one sitting).

Just having one last cuppa before I go off and slog for 3 1/2 hours at work.

I think you will like the version 2, I dont have the version 1 but I do have a Samsung Tab 2 and the Nexus 2 is a lot thinner and feels smaller even though the screen is the same size but of course it is a much higher resolution. I have way more memory free now as well than on the 8GB Tab 2, it would have been nice to have a Micro-SD card slot but with 32GB of memory I can live without it. Also it has Android 4.3 in it.

That is an excellent video.
I can not see Arch in it.

Nah lifes to short

I do not mean that it is excellent because I can not see Arch. I mean it is excellent despite not seeing Arch.

The part towards the end, with five engines tooting and whistling is brilliant. There seems to be a lot of freight movement on that line, which adds to the realism.

I just spotted my head in the background on the loco in one shot, just because I knew where to look!
