All the best with this, Chris. Sounds like a Herculean task.

Not wishing to make light of a serious problem, but it seems strange to me that they think they can achieve their aim of, I assume, bringing about the end of Western civilisation by targeting a model railway forum. Or is it just that the (AI?) bots are stupider than we realise?

Good luck,

Chris

Dear all,

Sadly I've had to suspend new registrations to the forum.  In the last 48 hours there has been a huge surge in applications from 'bot accounts' appearing from Russia, with 70 appearing this morning.

I will resume at the weekend when I can monitor this better, without my real job distracting me. 

Cheers,
Chris/Tanks.

You'll not get your wife's kitchen whisk in that  

Oh dear! Though I think vigorous stirring might probably fix it.

Humbrol paint. New tin, tight lid, bought 2 weeks ago, much, much stirring. Ok, it is a matt paint, but it's 27C today.

At least you have the excuse that it has come halfway round the world. I recently made an eBay purchase that took 11 days to travel the 60-odd miles from Reading. But then, it did come via Evri, so I suppose I was lucky to get it in one piece, or at all.

Cheers,

Chris

You might have to ration 'em 

Here in Queensland, we are already on our third round of Cadbury's chocolate covered peanuts, sultanas and hazelnuts. I just hope the shops don't run out before Christmas!

Post: need I say more?
After my last few parcels arriving from the UK in a matter of days, the current one has so far been stuck at Heathrow waiting a flight for a week, and now stuck in Melbourne awaiting clearance for 4 days.
Of course it could be because the postal service don't want me to have my first Dapol class 66.
  

His best was as Darkness in Legend. That movie was played on a loop on HBO when I was a kid and I must have watched it a dozen times.
