Fishmanoz Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Just do a forum search on LD PJ, should find enough reading to keep you occupied until Hornby have released a system foreshadowed to tell you more about where all your trains are on your layout. With any luck, it will make signals redundant too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augustus Caesar Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 ... so here is my prediction... October 19th...Year required please.WOW... sorry RDS mate... I did actually mean 2015 so you guessed right. Although I could have used that date for every year until 2030 perhaps just to be safe so I would be close to its release date... lolSeriously... why are folk being given the opportunity to pick more than one date? Surely their first guess should suffice? Isn't it cheating? :-) Something funny going on here... can I have more than one go then? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least it has put a few more dates in the table!I have recorded the fact in the table that it is a second (or even third guess).Anyway, you have got nearly 8 months to go yet.

Augustus Caesar Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Nothing to stop you buying a lotto ticket again this week AC if last weeks didn't win...We did RAF96 and we won £25 on 3 numbers... we're now going to splash out on a trip to Rome... :-)Well, we were until someone said I need to win a few more £25's... :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My trip to UK from Cyprus in a couple of weeks time cost me 59 euros. Getting home again in late April cost almost 3 times that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's always cheap to go but to get back it's more expensive... seems like the airlines want us to stay away.. the cheek of it... :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graskie Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 One clever way of reducing our population, I suppose, if some find they can't afford to come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augustus Caesar Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Yaeh... we can all find a cheap charter to Aus and go stay with Fishy for a few years until the population sinks too low and we are invited back with low fares... :-)Fishy... you could learn us crocodile hunting, spider squashing, snake catching and swimming with dolphins... we're all saving our pennies now I bet lolAnd you could fly us all to see that big red rock... :-) (But not leave us there...lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graskie Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Do you mean what we English would pronounce as "Hour's Rock," AC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96RAF Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Is it not said as Hair's Rock as in:'Air, Hair, Lair, There'the traditional upper class English greeting upon meeting someone you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graskie Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Fantastic, RAF. Actually in this area we do say things like "air kid". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishmanoz Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Good heavens, where to hide before they turn up and find me! Next they'll be trotting out the old one about raising the average IQ of both countries by coming. And these days, we don't call it a rock of any particular pronunciation, out of respect for the traditional owners we call it Uluru, said with a short oo for each u and equal emphasis on each syllable. And more so for me as I'm proud to say I have a stepdaughter with a distant blood relation to those owners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishmanoz Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Make up your mind PJ, two hoots or three? Yes, yes, yes, three yeses and I know I ignored your joke.

Ignoring the joke, as you have, to me it is clear, oo oo oo is 3x, doesn't give two hoots has to be less than or more than two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishmanoz Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Let's just put it this way PJ - I've asked my step-daughter to alert the traditional owners in case you ever turn up at the Rock! And just for anyone thinking whether to go there or not on their big Oz trip, the place really does have magic about it, something I wouldn't have believed until I felt it for myself. And if you are lucky enough to see it light up at sunset, just brilliant and the best thing you are likely to see in Australia, including the Reef and everything.
