Looks like I've got something new thanks to a tip from mates, very interested to know if anyone else is using it or similar: Radio Garden. millions of radio stations around the globe, sorted, loosely, but based on a globe visualisation which is quite entrancing.

Just been using it a couple of days but so far my favourite is this one out of Kiev which is designated as blues, but plays the type of blues I like, mean guitar-led blues -rock. And so far nothing, but nothing, has interrupted the music.

Anyone got any  foreign stations to share that you found on a site like this? (Need to know what music you like to start off with of course)

Nice one PA, sounds like a great station, love electric based blues. I shall give it a try.

The joys (and frustrations) of creating a landscaped 00 scale model railway layout without any real prior experience. Thank God for YouTube....

If you have not come across it Everard Junction is very good on YT.

Yes, Mr Everard Junction has taught me a lot, as has Mr Charlie Chadwick. Seriously, without people like that, there's no way I would've attempted it! Good job there's been no football....it's proper expensive (I had to get a shed built for it first!) 

I'd love to see the look on my wife's face if I told her I was building a shed to house a model railway.

The best things I have discovered are that walking along the Thames never gets boring, and that you can see the camel enclosure at London Zoo from a pathway in Regent's Park.

We discovered a similar path near Port Lympne, saw a bear, ostriches, camels, bison and antelope and apparently sometimes you can see the giraffes.

There's a similar path which runs around the outside of Whipsnade Zoo where you can see the wallabies out in the open. It's a really nice walk between Ashridge (NT) and Dunstable Downs (also NT)

DIPA, I now can’t look back. 

Zoom is a common one but a total game changer. 

Back exercises, my back is shot to bits WFH for so long.

Very close to where I live, are you local to that area as well Killer?
