Happy thread

[Bob Tidbury]

Im not keen on changing my age numbers round that would mean I will be 86 on Saturday it's bad enough being 68 although the alternative is not being here at all, and I want to see my second grandchild in August and of course my Poppylino for my birthday in 2016 it was fine when I was 65 then if reversed I would have been only 56 but things went down hill after that .

Bob, by my rules you're allowed to use whatever order you want to whenever you want to 

[Newportnobby]

Well if Mick can be 16 (oops) and I can be 5 then yes 

Oh, to be able to go back a couple of years to when I was 16

[Bob Tidbury]

Trainfish ,If that's the rule can I add the two together and be 14 again on Saturday ,I wonder if I would make the same mistakes again ,BUT the most worrying thing is would I have met my wonderful wife and have the family and house I now have plus my shed and layout and loco collection.
On second thoughts I think I'll stay as I am and be what I am ,A very happy 33 year married  68 year old fogey , with a great  family.

Yep, 14 isn't a problem. You can do anything you want with the 2 numbers apart from minus 1 from the other so the oldest you'll ever be if you want to be is 18 

You can of course stay as you are if you want or you can apply the formula to your wife too. Just be careful that you use the right numbers or you may not make it to your next number if she finds out.

I'm getting confused myself now so just to stay on topic here's a 

[ozzie Bill.]

Mate of mine was 46 for years, til someone at work called him out on it and he said 'no, I'm not 46, that's the year I was born". So now, I am 56 and have been so for a few years. Reckon I'll stick with that counting method for a good few years yet! Cheers, Bill.

[Newportnobby]

Oh good - suddenly I'm 53 (not 1853, Trainfish )

[Bob Tidbury]

Trainfish I have decided to remain 68 on Saturday because Val was born in 1955  so if you work that out and I change her age around I might get arrested as a paedophile and I'm catagoricaly not one so as I say I'm very happy to stay at 68
Although I might get shot for telling everyone how old she is women like to keep thier age a secret and you would never no how old she was ,if you ever meet her you would think she was in her late 40s the way she runs about looking after me and the family and working so hard at the hospital where she works
I'm really happy I found her and don't want to loose her she's an Angel,and I don't know what I'd do without her.

Was she looking over your shoulder when you wrote that? 

[Bob Tidbury]

No Trainfish it is really my own words and I mean every one,
We had better close this or we will get told of for getting off topic a little although I'm very very happy.

Feeling rather chuffed, I had a Kato #6 point that would not work. Thought I had got paint in the works when painting the track.

So after a deep breath and took it apart to find it totally clean inside but the rod operating the slider had become detached from its pivot point and the slider.

After a lot of tinkering attempts managed to replace it. And now have a fully operational point without having to spend £15-for a new one.

Unfortunately, Ray, it is not uncommon for this to happen. If you forget to set the point and run a loco on to it, then remember to change the point, it can cause just that problem as the operating rod really needs to be 5mm longer.

Your little picture looks quite 'chuffed' too
