    Back in March it would have been just a few seconds to midnight, now, dunno……..didn’t feel great today, ………..probably same as Bumblebee.

    If I can dodge the flu this winter and my windows get fixed before the onset of bad weather, there is a chance the clock might go back a bit more.

    Certainly makes me feel better about mine.
    Want a good belly-aching laugh? Here’s a model I did for a ‘What if’ competition…

    Did you win?:D

    No cat rescue places down your way, Baz? I help out at one just down the road from me, and the amount of cats that come in “unwanted”, “straying” etc, bloody annoys me. So many lovely cats, too.

    Went to the vets to pick up my cat food to find one of the staff has ‘taken on’ this kitten as their own pet. So a happy ending.

    I wouldn’t bother trying to reason, Eddie. The majority appear to subscribe to the view expressed by Shakespeare in Henry VI, Part 2, Act IV, Scene 2, line 86!

    You mean Penthouse, July 94, ‘readers letters’, page 43, line 14!

    Accurate information considering it was dragged up from the sea bed I wonder how the seller knows who shot it down, perhaps he was there? :rolleyes:

    Another great item from the manufacturer of my fake Comet grip:mad:

    How has he worked that out!?:rolleyes:

    How many Daimler Benz engines ended up in the sea off Hastings throughout the war?

    After bale out, how far did this 109 travel before striking the sea (could be miles)

    Does nailing it to a bit of wood and adding some text and a couple of pictures give it provenance?

    We have seen before artifacts morph into something they’re not for more money.

    If he is using one of these, the batteries are obviously flat.

    Oh dear! Sold for £86.99. 🙁

    I checked back on my Ebay stuff from 2001 and surprisingly the image of an identical report was still there. I paid at lot for it but after bit of a struggle got my money back.

    Yes, it was just a printed insert for a schools or similar education pack.

    I think you call it ‘theft by finding’…………
