  1. You think you have it bad, I am in the model railway industry , now there's where you find professional rivit counters , colour experts , and all sorts, from the down right rude to people to the biggest know alls of all time. It seems also that everyone's dad used to Drive the flying Scotsman too.

    on the other side of the coin there's a lot of very knowledgable people out the standing quietly in the background

Anyway it was really really low because the clouds were also low, I suddenly realised that my gun was pointing straight at it and to my amazement the pilot was looking straight down at us. ! I don't know who was the more surprised me or him. What else could we do other than wave frantically like a pair of schoolgirls !
