Fortunately don't have a cat but do have a twelve year old Cavachon (K Charles x Bischon cross) who hates certain things on the telly. The Cushelle advert with the koala bear primarily. When that advert comes on all hell breaks loose, he even try's to look behind the telly, managed to catch it so far. He amazed me once by watching the cartoon film the lady and the tramp all the way through.

Just be thankful that Twinkle hasn't put in an appearance - yet 

That could be catastrophic.

My layout is still very much at the planning stage/ playing with unitrak. I too suffer from furry obstructions .

In my last reply, I used a non-standard emoji. It was meant to be a large "eye".

Great fun thread.

Sorry I seem to have got my photo rotated. Panda can't defy gravity quite that much.

Hilarious. I was looking at the first picture and thought ooh nice loco, looked left and thought that tunnel is nicely modelled but why is the hill black and what are those unrealistic points......Then focused on the ?? and realised what the problem was.

Pretty layout and lovely cat but a bit more of a problem than leaves on the line!

Thanks for the laugh and excuse my slow processing, am using some strong stuff after recent surgery.

Enter 'cat comes out of model train tunnel' on YouTube and there are a couple of clips. It could have been a whole lot worse!!

In a previous life I used to have two black cats one of whom loved the trains. He would try and chase them into the tunnels.

Cheers,

I think this will interest me and it's really great to see a recognised "nice guy" like Brendan Fraser getting roles in big films.

"The Mummy" (well the first two) will always be favourites of mine. Daft favourites, but none the less.

In August???
Surely with their reputation, that's more likely to have been a delayed "Spring" Anouncement... 

The "Autumn" announcement, like all their quarterly announcements, is for actually existing products which they expect to be delivered in the following three months - in this case Autumn. It's not the date of the announcement itself.

And the remark about their "reputation" is a a bit unfair given the good record of the past few years. In the current uncertain situation for global trade and shipping they are no worse, and a lot better than, many other companies.
