Yep. Been doing some work at daughter's while she is in hospital. Should have known better than to put opened paint tins in the car.

Fingers crossed it will all clean up OK Steve
I'm sure daughter is hugely appreciating you decorating for her

Ouch!! Hopefully that's water based paint Steve?

A huge collection to choose from for this thread so I'll start with this one when it turned out the phone had the wrong camera activated

Re: Picture(s) of the day....
As I like to do, I have selected a page at random from all of Peter's posts. Struck a wordy page from 2010 so you will have to make your own pictures. I have highlighted the paragraph which caught my attention and which you may be able to visualise....NewcastleFalcon wrote: ↑18 Sep 2020, 15:39 Another 10,000 post celebration

Anyone else care to take up "Tyre Feeling"Peter.N. wrote: ↑16 Oct 2010, 10:07 Hi Ian
My estate has comfort spheres which I find quite acceptable but on the hatch rear the ride is a bit nautical.
My 5 series is an estate with rear air suspension which I understand does make the ride harder and is only comparable with the XM over rough unmade roads, otherwise not nearly as good a ride.
Tyre type and pressures can have a marked effect on the ride, unless I am carrying a full load I tend to run mine a little underinflated which makes quite a difference at low speed, the figures given are assuming a full load. The BMW gives different pressures for fully and partly loaded and they are quite a bit different.
There is quite a variation in tread stiffness between different tyres, what I have done in the past is to get my local friendly tyre fitter to let me 'feel' the tyres on offer, hold them by the edge and press your thumbs into the center of the tread and see how much force is required to push it in.
Peter
Well done on the 10,000 Peter!
Regards Neil

Re: Picture(s) of the day....
Loving the fingerpost sign I'm a fan of them and a few years back took many photos of them both around here and in Somerset
What railway once ran across that bridge? I'm always interested in disused railways and the remains of them still extant...

Re: Picture(s) of the day....
That was the old Chichester to Midhurst line. I can still remember the Chichester end up to Lavant being worked as it served the sand and gravel pits - I think some Youtube video exists of one of the last workings under diesel. Midhurst was served from 3 directions back in the day - from Pulborough, from Petersfield, and from Chichester. The track bed from Chichester up to Singleton has been converted to The Centurion Way cycle track, with plans to finish the job up to Midhurst..... though whether that happens in my lifetime is another matter

Brilliant Thanks Bobins! I shall now go and do some deep research into that line

On a little delve this sign popped up, in the same sort of area I think.
