    Always favoured Scalextric although not so much actually racing, but competing for qualifying laps with lap counter (lap limit) and timer accessory.

    Rod is going to raise £1m for the Teenage Cancer Trust this month. 

    Youth’s a mask and it don’t last.

    It might be on catch up - but did you see that model railway building competition - Great Model Railway Challenge on Channel 5 recently. This is the first time I have admitted watching it, but the geek in me really enjoyed it. Just checked my Virgin box and Semi Final and Final are still available.

    I enjoyed the bits of it I saw .. it's more a quasi religion than a hobby
