| Waterworld this evening. Did anyone watch this evenings 'Waterworld' programme on the television ? it really was a treat listening to an old Lister diesel engine,and a steam engine in a lovely little ex Royal Navy wooden boat,the owner of the Lister was so passionate about his combination,it clanked and clonked away,sheer poetry in motion ! whilst everything rattled away he said that he would not have anything else,a really lovely programme.

| Shame I missed that I would have enjoyed it.
The trouble is that there is such rubbish on the TV nowadays I tend to spend most of the evening in the workshop. |

| *** Why not put a small television in your workshop Richard ? then you will not miss programmes like this,I always havemy favourite classical music on in the background when modelling or painting,it helps me create. Quote: |

| I agree barry, I have a rather large, ex lounge, TV in the workshop but I can never be bothered with it as it is distracting and the programs are rubbish.
I usually put some music on instead which I can blast away to my hearts content without bothering anyone! |

| *** Thats the spirit Bunkers ! you can also have a sing-along as well while you work,television programmes can be rubbish especially when they repeat them three dozen times over,you have to be selective.
I see that one piece of essential equipment in the American workshops is a computer,some even are getting their projects on-line as they build them,great idea,how about a 'Workshop Cam' has anyone done that yet,it has to come ? Quote: |
