You think that's good, you should see the switches on a CX ...

I once tried getting up at the crack of dawn. She wasn't happy.

"There you are, sir, one copy of Hip-Hop For Beginners. Would you like me to wrap it for you?" "No, thanks, I'll just read it in my own time."

"But haven't you heard? Fifty is the new thirty." "If you say so, sir. Just switch off the engine and blow into this, please."

That's what happens to me just about every time I turn into Mill Street. Yet it's still better than crawling down Bell Street behind little Oliver and Jocasta on their way to parkrun ...

As this has been revived ... Humbrol did once have what they called neutral gray: Hu176. Long since discontinued, so for my latest build I've used Hu145, medium grey, and I'm fairly pleased with the result. And I've managed to track down an unused tinlet of Hu176 as well, so it will be interesting to compare them when I next do something in that colour scheme.

They backed it out?! Where did they manage to turn that much rig around before they could drive away normally?

The contents, or the vehicle?

The current chairman of Hammer Films is called John Gore.

Oops! Completely misread the pictures - the nearside seemed to have clearer shut lines than the offside. In that case, m'lud, I refer you to the Mazda RX-8.

The answer to that will be that there's one door on the offside (left on this, as it's LH drive) and two on the nearside, so the back-seat passengers will go in from the nearside. It's been done before - the Hyundai Veloster and Mini Clubman are recent ones. But it does lead to the question, will they reverse the doors for RH drive markets? Hyundai did; Mini didn't. If they don't, it's even less helpful than cars with a side-hinged tailgate that only protects users from one side because they don't bother to re-hang it for other markets.

Yay! The Lego Design School strikes again!

Okay, on that subject: the longest golf course in the world has 18 holes and is a par 72, but is 848 miles from end to end.

It's tomorrow! Already polishing up my hi-viz vest and breaking out the sun-cream. If you're going along, let us know in this thread what you thought of the show. We always appreciate the feedback so we can improve for future events.

Two days and counting ...
