I've been trying for a couple of weeks to find a Dapol M7 in SR Mausell green, plenty of LSWR green or Malachite or wartime SR and BR black just one in Maunsell green and that is somewhat overpriced compared to other liveries.

I see this is also the solution to you tube videos that overfill the width especially on mobile.

If you use the insert video from the menu then paste the link in there it constrains the width of the video to the forum settings.

If as I believe happens in the "What are you listening to..." thread direct links are pasted into the page text area the videos are not constrained width ways.

Not sure if there is a way to stop links being pasted into the text area and only allowing the menu options to be used though...

Again is probably just letting people know and why and hoping they pick it up?

You should see what she can do with it.

She's damned good on that guzheng. What you don't see is that the instrument is 64" long

Worked a lovely little beer and music festival last weekend at my friends pub, go up each year to help.
Sadly I forgot to take a picture of the before but this was late on Sunday, 30 kegs down...



Tasting Notes I put together for them. The real surprise was the Crouch Vale Black Water Mild - Black as the ace of spades, but fruity and only 3.7% - people thought they were being offered a taste of knockout juice by the looks of it 

Some excellent bands as well, four on each day.







Being the designated dogs body and jump in wherever and whenever, when not serving on the bar was either emptying the many bins, nipping to shops to collect 30kg of frozen chips at a time (we must have done over 200kg the two days) and changing kegs over with the landlord - thankfully mostly bright ones on Sunday although a couple did have a quicker than usual 'settling time' of the non bright beers!

This isn't off (my) topic as they also had a cake stall where you could get a tray with a Scone, clotted Cream and portion of Jam - despite my best efforts they refused to put the right instructions in the servings or on the chalk board...

My fingers would be all tied up in a knot and I'd have an anneurism.

Haha, yeah you felt right! Awesome! I have seen mixes like this in the past and most are very well done.

Thanks!!
