I switch to the 60/40 mix in this time of winter... It's cold down here even if I don't have any snow! (-3 deg. C)

Today it's roughly -2 with snow, and it feels like -7 cause of wind chill!!!!!!

thats why I'm not outside with edrig in the snow, and also cause i've had an argument with my dad so he doesn't want me using them til after christmas and also I've got a lot of work to do for school!

Chocolates are a god send for settling land ownership disputes with the domestic authorities!

That really isn't going to work though, cause it's him!

The only way I'll please him is by finishing all my work, and that means I'm going to be working for quite a long time!

Chirstmas Spirit?

He's threatening for me to work ON Xmas Day!!!!!!

So that isn't going to shift him!

He can't do that. Is'nt it against the law or someat.

Hmmm, dunno, hopefully he shouldn't be that bad!

(Hopefully!)

Probbally will be fine, why can't u run your engines till after christmas?

Posted: **Sat Dec 19, 2009 9:22 pm**

Cause he thinks their "interferring" with my work, and if he sees me doing anything on them or anywhere near them he'll take them off me for a YEAR!!!!

So I'll rather a week than 52 of them!

yeah, I suppose. I'd knuckle down and work, besides it IS worth working for!!! I have a street organ to build for my GCSEs so I suppose the DVLR will lie dormant for long stretches of time (atleast untill feb when it is due in!!)
But then there are exams but after that a whole long summer to build and play trains!
It is worth it!

Unlucky, i couldn't got that long, my exams are next year luckily,phew. Like your videos

Well, he did say that in the summer, he'll give me 2 weeks to build my railway, which'll probably get phase 1 finished!

Posted: **Sat Dec 19, 2009 9:30 pm**

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP my da said if i buy the track i can start mine in summer 2.

Posted: **Sat Dec 19, 2009 9:34 pm**

Ha, looks like we'll all be starting afresh!

And some parents wonder why kids run away from home...

Dye your hair black, buy a trenchcoat and take to listening loudly to Iron Maiden, Sabbath, AC/DC etc (or if you can tolerate it, Marilyn Manson etc- but Iron Maiden etc are actually good). They'll be extremely grateful when you want to play trains in the garden instead

Worked for me

And trenchcoats = warm knees, bonus!

Always thought you were a emo/goth Matt... don't know why you had a Landy though, thought a hearse maybe more appropriate

Posted: **Sun Dec 20, 2009 12:10 am**

Goth mate, goth. I was never a very good one though, hair's too curly!

I would quite like a hearse though...

Oh, and I forgot the spiky dog collar from the above shopping list
