I forgot to thank you, Richard. My local Tesco had 6 of the 1857s, so I took 4 of them. (950 pieces for £7.85 is such good value). I also noticed that they had 2 of the new road sign sets at £2.49 each, so I took those too. The blue Technic (...) (25 years ago, 12-Aug-99, to lugnet.loc.uk)

David, I can't stand teenagers then and I still can't stand them today. I did not like my teen years and I am glad I am past them. It's a maturity issue, mostly, and also I am a strange cracker or brick :) anyway. When I was eighteen, I went to (...) (25 years ago, 12-Aug-99, to lugnet.general)

I'd like to have another get together in the Triangle. I can host again, or we can go someplace new. The weekends of August 20-22 or August 27-29 would be ideal, but many week nights would work also. (25 years ago, 12-Aug-99, to lugnet.loc.us.nc.ral, lugnet.loc.us.nc.dur, lugnet.loc.us.nc)

Hi Lugnet! Just finished some two weeks vacation in which I hunted down some tiny little toy stores here in Germany.
