I've got some sachets of powdered water but don't know what to dilute them with

If its the same as dehydrated water just open the packet put it out with the washing on Monday mornings

I'll never forget them. They used to have my Dad and I in stitches every time.

Invariably involving trains emerging from tunnels whilst Wile E. Coyote just held up a

sign

Sprintex · September 12, 2015, 09:33:52 PM

Either that or falling/being propelled off a cliff with accompanying "wheeeeeeee" and the little puff of dust when he hit the bottom

Even in those long ago years I found it hilarious that Newton and even Einstein's General Relativity could be suspended until realisation dawned that there was, underneath no cliff / branch / other support, existentialism eat your heart out

hav'nt found a clip of the episode I was thinking about but have found this ACME advisory :-
"make sure you are not standing UNDER the boulder when it is rehydrated"

Oh thanks for the happy thoughts of Wylie and Roadrunner!!

As daft as they were, you always had a good laugh. Off over to google & youtube for some chuckle muscle medication.

One of my favourite Road Runner moments actually came on the 2004 film "Loony Toons, back in the action"....

From memory (I was hung-over watching the film as a cure with an equally over-refreshed friend), Coyote was trying to run-over Road Runner with a train and, his luck being what it is, it didn't work out.

Anyway, when realising this, he simply held up a sign saying

"They don't pay me enough"

Got a laugh from the entire audience....

Bet you are pleased that it's finished.
Might we be nosey and ask the topic of project ?

Sure; it was a "Due Diligence Data Gathering Application with Associated Database" - catchy title, eh

Done in Java with a SQL Anywhere database

Newportnobby · September 13, 2015, 08:53:11 PM

Sounded more like "When is a model railway layout finished - An open ended debate"

Excellent - I just realised BachFar has finally smuggled some Mk2a-c coaches in blue/grey onto the market. Click, add in a couple of bargains, swipe ooh they deduct VAT too

MikeDunn · September 15, 2015, 07:54:14 PM

have split a bottle of Chocolate wine with SWMBO (very nice !), and helped make a batch of custard creams (delicious ! And before anyone says 'they're not real ones without the baked-in decor', the cutter we have puts the top face on them too

) ...

So why am I feeling I'm missing something ... hmmm, see the Unhappy thread ...
