Those are the same guys who do the MDF work for that Italeri 'Pegasus Bridge' diorama that I had for Christmas. Their laser cutting is EXCEPTIONAL!  :thumbsup:

watch out its a time sink, and be careful on the scales,  they will make a chunk of differance on what goes with what.

In other things,  as its the first week of Feb i am on hols, so today was out for a meal with Mrs SP,  the (local ish ) OK diner,  https://okdiners.com/    its a UK take on the classic US Diner, the menus are reasonably basic for a diner, the quantity and quality are good, and the price point is fine.   needless to say im full  :thumbsup:   i shall be doing modely things, but not right now,  sleepy   :o  ;D

Ooooh, I like the sound of the OK Diners, and that link has a map with them all on it.

I found an American Diner in Ireland a few years ago, on the opposite side of the car park from the hotel we were staying in, and each table had its own juke box selector.  :thumbsup:  Of course you had to wait till all the previous 'selectees' had had theirs played before you heard yours but it was great.

All that and it was right under the flight path for Shannon Airport too.  ;D

I have occasionally used the OK Diner on the Leominster bypass. As you say, it's eminently acceptable quality, considerable quantity and sensibly priced

Once upon a time, the diners local to where I grew up had them.  That was a treat back then.

Last time I used a jukebox was in a pub (The Telegraph) in Newcastle last year, before going to see Half Man, Half Biscuit at the Boilershop.  Place was full of fans and what went on the Jukebox?  You guessed it, HMHB.  it was fantastic.  The gig was good too.  Decent view near the front.

I used to drink in the pub where all the local student band members used to hang out.
Obviously there was a high level of pretentiousness.
To p**s them off I would put an entire Carpenters LP on the jukebox.  Drove them all mad but they just had to grit their teeth.  Best thing was they never worked out who was doing it.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

I can just imagine that too.  ;D

Mind you, I reckon the Carpenters anyway, Karen's voice could dissolve pure unobtanium on a good night.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

There was a disco in Waterloo back in the late 60's/early 70's (The Birdsnest)  that had something similar. It also had a phone on each table so that you could phone any birds you fancied while they were sitting at their table. Could get right confusing after a couple of pints  :angel:

Had Yoko already started her "singing" career at that point?

That would be cruel and unusual punishment!
