Just wondering if i am the sole survivor of the apocalypse or did any of you make it through as well...?
Must admit i did get a little worried  :worried:  when i heard a rumble in the distance which got louder......but i was relieved when it turned out to be a road sweeper driving past my flat....... :D

I'm here too and if we are the only survivors I'll see you at Rails and we'll bash their door down for stuff :D

What a complete waste of time and effort :veryangry:
I've been sat on our factory roof in full NBC gear which, I can honestly say, does not keep out the cold. :cold: Luckily I had with me an industrial size bottle of Southern Comfort although I now need to find a lift home  :pint: as the local police obviously assumed nothing was going to happen and so are out in force (to hell with dealing with proper crime).
I now have to go Christmas shopping as I had naturally assumed the 25th December would be cancelled due to lack of interest/people/the world.
To all those who wished me a happy oblivion.....................................same time next year?? :dighole:

Still here as well, have had only the chest xray thos morning.
Been given an apointment at  the quacks this evening as they think I may have a chest infection.
Joy i don't think- could be antibiotics over xmas-no booze ( sobbing quietly)

There is still time left NN . . .  and there are worrying portents of doom here in South West Trains land. We've got the pestilence (Ash dieback and mice in my garage), plague (Novovirus), famine (no refreshment trolley on the train) and now the floods . . . .

. . . . so maybe I won't be on line tomorrow . . . .

A few more of  :pint: will help the waiting.  ;D

I'm glad I haven't got one of those Police Class 37's (as in the old BR tv ad) because then at least I can drink and drive  play trains while I wait.

This is TRUE !

It was a snowy gloomy day this morning up here in the mountains, then at 10 past Beer o'clock the projected time of Armageddon, I suddenly felt a wave of heat on my back thinking *** its  happening I grabbed my beer and toasting Mrs H (no I am not into canibalism)  thought  :dighole:.

It was the sun burning through the clouds but it did make me think for a minute...

Guess I might get to finish thelayout one day after all.
Some days its just not worth gnawing through the straps.

Still here in Brizzle.

Judging by the que to get into local Tesco and petrol station, people are either panic buying or doing a NN and only now bothering to get Christmas sorted.

Just been on Hattons website and found a decent value 56013, but not trusting the post at the moment, might challenge the model railways direct price promise. Has anyone else done this recently?

All good down here in Cornwall still.
We sat in a cafe a Falmouth at 11.11 looking out to sea with a cup of coffee waiting to see what would happen.
Nothing did but the coffee was nice !
I'm sure I'll get used to cream first soon.

You can get very cheap ATI graphics cards these days that are plenty quick enough for anything but high end gaming   ::)
