I seem to be too busy to fit in any procrastinationing this week, Bobbers. There's always next week.

Where is Glenners? I do hope he's not had a positive elbow test!

It appears from the answers only thread that you've also had your first laptop related IT shenanigans. Get that ticket raised!

Glad it worked out ok Nij.

I'd have probably ttted the tts that were filming
Thanks. As tempting as it was, ttting the public is a no no! I've been photographed and filmed quite a few times whilst working and it's a bit of a strange feeling sometimes, but it's mostly dedicated spotters doing it so it's alright really. You do get the odd one who tries to make trouble though, a few years ago a mate of mine was photographed from a bridge by a snapper with a telephoto lens whilst driving his train, the photo appeared on a rail forum showing him apparently 'reading a newspaper' whilst pootling along at 60mph, but what he was actually reading was a an A4 sized official Network Rail form containing speed restrictions for specific bridges along the route due to the excessive weight of the loaded wagons he was hauling. It's something we do everyday but it probably looks a bit 'off' from a bystander's point of view.

A similar thing happened to my brother when he was driving his passenger train from Brum to Leicester many years ago, he was spotted 'reading a paper' but was actually double checking the running times and stopping order on his job card! He's had more incidents than me in his driving career, one of the worst being a the occasion when a smartly dressed city exec type pulled a knife on him at Peterborough, very odd.

IOVTN, I've been doing some more odd jobs on the Maser and have made more progress in the last fortnight than I have since I bought the car back in June last year. Very satisfying wink

Engine out onto a pallet and now up at my workshop.
I've stripped out what else is worth saving,most of which is being given away to French coupe club/community.

I've got to the bottom of my missing emails - having moved to BT from useless Virgin Media, BT decided that anything from the council needed to to be classed as spam, so I missed this weeks welsh lesson...
Now sorted...
Welsh lesson?!?!
Missing emails??
Definitely resident material!!!

Has to be mate! Tin worm was on the march anyway so I'm not feeling too guilty.
Like I said the parts will help other coupes.

I'm on a mission to get the barn and house cleared and tidy for the new owner and cleared it will be.
If you buy from French,you can expected to find tons and tons of crap everywhere.

The job I'm doing at the moment,the house was full of rubbish. Think about 20 trailor loads to the dump.
The two barns will need some serious effort. Two men two weeks I expect,with countless loads to the dump.

There must be somewhere near 300 empty wine bottles in part of he barn. The bottle bank is 50 metres away!

Did someone say foghorn? Capital idea. I'll give it a couple of blasts, see if glenners responds to it.
