    I was out with the gardeners this evening and the moon came up lighting the gardens, incredible.

    It makes you wonder what Bronze Age man must've made of all this. With no artificial light the skies would've been absolutely alive with meteorites, galaxies, aurora, etc. With no idea of what these things were it's no surprise they imagined they were Gods looking down on them.

    And why did the moon change from a full circle to a tiny crescent, then back again <yikes>

    Apparently insurance companies now have a 'bear claws clause'.

    The other day, someone blocked the whole of The Gate car park in Newcastle as they were waiting on level B1 for someone to put a bairn and a pushchair in the car as they wanted that space.

    Once I got passed them, I drove down to B2 and had hundreds of empty spaces to choose from.

    Sorry for the late reply,Becs. The day I posted about the carpark stuff was because I watched someone park in between two cars while there was about 100 spaces, said person then needed a tin opener to open his door the squeeze out.... made his own life an absolute chew.

    I think your in the wrong thread.
    Personally I think these posts of yours do deserve their own thread. :emoticon-0148-yes: <laugh>

    PS.
    Lidl have airfix and revell models due in on December the 1st.
    I have all the airfix ones in my stash <laugh>

    There are a few revell cars and the Titanic, Victory and Mayflower all for £19.99 :emoticon-0148-yes:

    Thanks for that, think ill get a couple of the cars....the Maclaren and the Porsche Martini. The maclaren is normally about £30, so canny saving.
    I've done a 1/400 titanic, and also the Victory, which was lidl.
    I've got a massive Cutty Sark to do, so will give the mayflower a miss.

    The Landy is almost done, be finished by the weekend.
