Fun Stuff
Just received my advance ticket for the London Festival of Railway Modelling and as it’s taking place on my 60th birthday, I apparently qualify as a Senior Citizen! Shame the government doesn’t recognise it - I could get my old age pension 5 years early!!
Thanks to all the guys on the On30 Conspiracy that sent advanced greetings. It seems that I will officially become an “Old Phart” or as I’m English -
It’s Official - I’m Old! (March 2004)
Lord Codpiece - My Alter Ego
Among certain Egroups that I belong to, it has become a habit to refer to me as “Lord Codpiece”, the name of the owner of Bannister Hall on my layout. Rather than explain that we are separate entities and that he only exists in my imaginary world, it is easier to go along with it.
Although I lay no claims to be a member of the British Aristocracy, if you come across references to “Codpiece” in your Cyber travels - it’s probably me they’re referring to!
This imperious-looking creature, Odo by name, decided that the flower beds at Bannister Hall were the ideal snoozing ground. As he is 1:1 scale, the devastation he caused can be imagined! Result- banishment from upstairs. Our other feline - Dax, is fortunately too fat to jump on the layout, so he still keeps me company - especially if there’s bits of wire he can steal!
