General Discussion / Re: My local bus stop

I've got a story to go with that.

In 1972, a young Bealman was in-between parties in Fence Houses. Yes THE Fence Houses as in the 2mm layout.

It was raining. Anyway, the bloke I was with, Alan Wilson saw headlights coming and jumped out in front of them, acting like a lunatic.

I thought this was really cool, so gave it a try when the next headlights showed up across the railway line.

Unfortunately these headlights belonged to cops, who said New Year's over for you, mate. Get in the back ;D

My tutu wearing days are long gone as well  :)

Don't think I've been to a pub on New Year's Eve for over 10 years now. Just looked on line and our local pub (only one for miles around but pretty big) shuts at 10.30pm tonight. How times have changed.

"Crash a party rock!" for the youngsters round 'ere methinks. Those were the days  :headbang:

7pm New Year's Eve here. At club but going home. Sorry, but I'm over the NYE crap.

All these old people dressed up and going to dance around blowing streamers and stuff at midnight.

No thanks.

Happy New Year! ;D

Everyone, just a note to advise that John does his best despite not being in the best of health, or so I am told.

I have an email address for him if it still works:

jb2mmworld@aol.com

He should be around as he is attending a local show next month.

Cheers,

Tim

Evening all,

I'm after some more storage boxes (well, just the foam part) from JB. EBay store seems to have been closed for some time. Any ideas on how to get some or get hold of him please?

Thanks in advance,

Rails lost almost all my business years ago because of their mailing habits too - selecting one postal choice and having it ignored and the items posted with a locally known problem courier who was legendary for lsoign things and usually did.

When they refused to guarantee that they'd use the postal service they had been told to I moved all my orders elsewhere and they've stayed there.

Not that at current prices I order anything any more...

Not one for the purists but I'm sure @Trainfish will think it's fun (which it's meant to be) whereas @Tank will be throwing a fit :laugh3:
