Hail again! 
I do like my music kinda hard as does damien.
Live life hard!
Hmmm...I'm just interested to see what Damien would make of my taste in music! My tastes have always been particularly heavy, especially in later years...
I wouldn't normally turn my MP3 player up loud when I'm on board a train in consideration of other passengers...But if ever I'm lucky enough to catch Damien, I may well have to make an exception...
(I actually found a photo of him arriving at Cyffordd LLandudno on the Arriva website earlier this evening...So I now have the feeling that I might've already ridden him once without knowing it!
hock
Very true, I hate the place. Too many people with their look at me look at me bling bling lifestyle. The only designer label's I own are Mossberg & Armalite.
I
fully agree with ye on that point mate! The only use I have for London is as a simple transport interchange!
Oh, and the only designer "labels" I possess are on my
Compaq PC and my
Cannon printer!
:razz:
I think 158 displays were programmed with ZX81's TBH, I would love to hack it. I'm thinking code 66 "**** off you b*stard" would work wonders on a new street service.
If they were programmed with ZX81's, then it'd most likely be an RS-232 (Serial) connection, which can be found on the back of most legacy compatable laptops and controlled using most TTY programs. Ye'd still need to find out the parity (Odd/even/half), word-length (Bits), baud-rate (Bandwidth) and other settings before ye could communicate with the other device though. :?
Try having a snidey peek around the workshop for a programmers manual, and experiment with a spare non-installed unit first. Better still, just ask someone if ye can help them reprogramme them when the time comes!
Oh, and according to the last DLR Train Capitain that I spoke to...Apparently the ATO computers inside DLR rolling stock are simply ZX81s with their operating system stored on EPROM, and the motherboards connected to a load of relays!
hock:
Hey nice beard there fella, I can't grow one as they p*ss me off to much. I hate the facial growth feel. Shame as I could grow an awesome one being dark haired.
Cheers for the compliment man! My beard is quite a wierd one though, as even though I have dark brown hair, my beard is surprisingly ginger!
hock:
Just let thyself get used to the feel of a beard as well, and then ye won't feel it as much. Besides, from what little I know of ye thus far, I'm getting the impression that a beard would suit ye, too...And ye'd help to intimidate the Chavs at Salop, too!
Salop has it's fair share of different interest's staff. We have a couple of chavy like drivers, a lot of metalheads, some golf people:roll:, aging rockstar kinda drivers, a fair few ex army nutters. It's all good with the Salop Seagulls. :grin: Will miss that if I can get over to DRS, but the thrash will be worth it.
Well...If ye are planning to cross over to DRS, I'm hereby making the first cast to become Damien's next possessed driver!
hock:
Seriously, I'd like to drive trains for a living anyway...But driving one with a incumbent Spirit aboard? The idea might frighten most people, but it's something that I'd actually be perfectly comfortable with!
hock:
And ye have to admit: Damien himself gives a whole new angle to the term "Railway
possession", doesn't he?... :razz:
>> Death <<
All three were done a year ago as well, and it's grown a bit more since then!
