Speechless!

That one Stavros is a 160 year old Japanese White Pine. Pinus Parviflora pentaphillia. A grafted white pine to a Pinus thunbergii (Japanese black pine). Came to UK in early 20th Century and became mine after much haggling some 25 years ago. Just going through a 5 year needle reduction plan. Weighs in at two hundret weight, and takes two to lift with difficulty.

Twood be good if I could use their logo. Not permitted unless i am a provider of IOSH training courses (fee payable of course). Maybe in time but not right now. Training is a big pay-day for many practitioners, but for now i am enjoying consultancy work.

Well to be fair Steve, this the 'let your hair down area'. I model in OO guage and take em apart, install lights, smoke, sound and so on, programme them and then enjoy them. Smoke is by way of a seuthe unit, a couple of drops of oil and away you go.

To be fair, in O guage the smoke can be linked to piston movement, thus really emulating the original. Sadly in OO guage there just is not enough room. I have to dremel away on occasions to get everything in.

This one is on a test track just seeing what further changes I need to make. I use ESU chips and a Lokprogrammer, link it all in to my netbook and voila. All sound are recorded from full size versions, hence realistic sound.

Now what else do I have that is small? DON'T go there you smutty lot.

Now I have actually had quite a few emails via my website on this blog entry which I included here on MLF.

To set the record straight. The world of workplace safety or occupational safety, is indeed regulated by the HSE, this much just about everyone knows. As a Chartered Practitioner I am also regulated by my professional institution...IOSH (Institution of Occupational Safety & Health). This means like many other Chartered bodies I follow a strict code of conduct.

Now then; setting this aside for a moment. What I was trying to get at, and perhaps I may have mislead (unintentionally) is that anyone, I mean anyone can set themselves up as a 'competent' H&S adviser. I believe the same is true of HR (no doubt our newest member in this field will confirm).

So, if Joe Bloggs who once did some 'elf-n-safety' at work gets made redundant and decides to charge him/herself out at

Myths and misconceptions about online safety are roadblocks parents and educators must overcome so as to fully understand the risks facing children on the Internet. It is easy to assume that a child knows better than to talk to a

No-way, trust me, you DO NOT want a bad woman I speak from experience.
