Howay BGB
All that stuff up there was a bit cramped.

How are Gilbert and George?

Still shedding hair like their lives depended on it.
I'm a little worried as George hasn't turned up for dinner yet.

Had kitty trauma last week myself
Pippin 2 went missing and eventually turned up dragging her back legs.

She'd been hit by a car and has a fractured pelvis so she's currently glaing at me from a cage.

I've been very lucky with my two.
*fingers crossed*

Off to bed to read now.

Don't be a stranger : )

Oh, but the night is young
I'm re-reading "Dog Soldiers" by Robert Stone at the moment and I'm avoiding bed as it gives me nightmares.
( The Disappointed Caravanner of the year, Thu 2 Sep 2010, 21:33, Reply)

same as the film dog soldiers?
I take it it's good if you're ree-reading it?
( CowJam, Thu 2 Sep 2010, 21:35, Reply)

Not at all
I watched the film assuming it was based on the book but it's not.

I don't like recommending literature because we all have different tastes but if you like a thought provoking read Robert Stone is yer man.

The film "Leaving Las Vegas" was very loosely based around Stones' "Hall of Mirrors" although that was set in New Orleans. One of my ten best ever books.

I'll add him to the list
of things to read.

Hello new people BTW
I used to be here occasionally, but I've been busy.

I'm OK and not a nutter, stalker or meat puppet.

BGB has met me in real life and can confirm at least one of the above.

Hello.
I'm not new, just new to OT
( CowJam, Thu 2 Sep 2010, 21:33, Reply)

Well that's good then
Hello to you Mr/Mrs/Ms/Other Cowjam.

Evenings on OT used to be quite a vibrant little community, populated by those like me that didn't get the opportunity to post during the day.

Admittedly I very rarely drop by, but the evening thing seems to be completely dead now.
( The Disappointed Caravanner of the year, Thu 2 Sep 2010, 21:39, Reply)

I think there are a lot of the regulars out performing carnal acts on bits of dead animal this evening.
Or, as it's commonly known, eating out at a restaurant.

Evening TD.

Ah, the good old O/T Druid community are alive and well.
Do you want a dalek?

It's a long and unpleasant story but I'm putting a lot of toys and models on e-bay at the moment for my sister's friend.

There's a dalek in there - about 5" high, and probably once had a friction motor.

If you think it's interesting let me know. I've a lot of shit to sift through before I get to look at it properly.
( The Disappointed Caravanner of the year, Thu 2 Sep 2010, 21:53, Reply)

Sounds like possibly a Louis Marx model to me.
Colour?
( Davros' Granddad a voice of calm reason in a world of spastics., Thu 2 Sep 2010, 21:56, Reply)

Dug it out
Should have had (I guess) a red dome but it's badly faded.

Quite a good plastic mould.

All the bits that stick out are articulated and still articulate.

Signs of a glue repair on the left hand sticky out thing.

Definately friction motored.

Underside marked "made in Hong Kong" with an inverted 2 where it's arse should be.

Yours if you want it. It'll cost a bit to post safely but gaz me and we'll work it out.
( The Disappointed Caravanner of the year, Thu 2 Sep 2010, 22:06, Reply)

Possibly a Palitoy model then.
God I'm sad...
( Davros' Granddad a voice of calm reason in a world of spastics., Thu 2 Sep 2010, 22:09, Reply)

Could be Palitoy
Don't know - I'm sad too because most of the stuff I've been given to sell is die-cast Dinky, Corgi and Matchbox which I DO know the value of.

I've sold most of it - just stuff like the dalek left that I don't know how to price, so I'd rather it went to an appreciative home than an accumulator of crap.

I'm quite liking the pace.
I can't get here at work, which is good cos pace this slow would do my head in but it's ok when I'm watching movies/gaming.

/currently watching Elizabeth in HD
( CowJam, Thu 2 Sep 2010, 21:42, Reply)

It's a lot faster during the day pace-wise
do you just not have time during the day?
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Thu 2 Sep 2010, 21:43, Reply)

I suspect this place is firewalled,
and don't really want to test it. I suspect it'd be a terrible time sink, and I'm currently very good at what I do.

I'm now a bus driver
And I don't think my passengers would like me to check connectivity on a regular basis.
( The Disappointed Caravanner of the year, Thu 2 Sep 2010, 21:56, Reply)

No, probably not.

( CowJam, Thu 2 Sep 2010, 21:59, Reply)

But
I'm the only B3TAN currently driving the 15 and 752 in Leeds.

There's got to be some kudos in that...
( The Disappointed Caravanner of the year, Thu 2 Sep 2010, 23:04, Reply)

Don't know them routes.
I used to catch a 1, 93 or 96. Last time I was there they'd fucked about with them and they were called something stupid.
( CowJam, Thu 2 Sep 2010, 23:55, Reply)

I rarely get here through the day anymore
since work decided to block the site. Which is fair enough really.
( Davros' Granddad a voice of calm reason in a world of spastics., Thu 2 Sep 2010, 21:44, Reply)

I'm relatively new
but I've been here for a fair bit now
