      Hot will do it. Door handles are a bit random, Kim says I can get grumpy at strange things - never done door handles!

  3. My god! Mrs Y has turned into a fire-breathing, judgemental touchline tyrant in the second half.

      Unfair Mr York. The penalties were missed by two players brought on in the last minute who had barely kicked a ball in anger for a month and a young 19 year old who had the balls to step up and take one in that cauldron. England tried to defend a 1-0 lead from half time with timid substitutions against a seasoned, experienced team who hadn't lost in 33 games.

       

      The notion that all the team don't practice penalties just shows a lack of understanding of the game.

  7. It's about this time on any 'announcement day' that I lose the will to live with selfish, "I'm so clever", pointless posts and comments from people who can't be bothered to read information which has already been provided.

  8. Just spotted the slag heap my grandfather used to slide down on a tin tray features in a couple of shots on the Titfield Thunderbolt

      They are called a batch in Somerset. Probably Dunkerton, a number of scenes were filmed around the Colliery including the duel sequence. Jerry

  9. Kim took me to Corfe / Swanage today for my birthday treat. Steam, fish and chips and a walk on the beach with the dogs. Now at home in front of the wood burner with a large G&T, pretty much perfect day really!

  10. is disappointed that the Sun is so weak today and that lovely dry hotness has turned into a humid afternoon. Can't wait for ice cold Pimms time!

      Gotta disagree Andy, it's the biggest and best party in the world and it's in Somerset. Respect to the oldies even if they can't hold a tune like they did in their prime - and we love Sir Michael Evis

  15. is watching the queues of sheep waiting to enter the muddy slaughterhouse that is the Glastonbury Festival. My sister went there once with her ex-boyfriend, and the state of the toilets left a permanent impression in her memory. Apparently the huge volumes of mud gave her just a taste of what it must have been like in the trenches during WW1, but without the bullets, other ordinance or the noxious gas.....

  16. You're eating a delicious baguette or sandwich and have consumed almost all of it, when the last bit drops to the floor. Do you (like me), lament the last bit or think yourself lucky that you've had most of it?

      Laurie will always answer the phone if he's in the workshop. He does also always respond to emails although rarely by return. That said you won't get him this week as he and Caroline are on a short break in Cornwall?

  20. Watching a young blackbird feed on the bird table when "BAM" a sparrow hawk decided it wanted to feed too - sad but natural so no interference from me.

      Wish they would come and take out a few of the pigeons that plague my veg plot. They may kill and eat any bird they are capable of but they take a fraction of the number of birds killed by domestic cats.

  22. If you want to see a very happy model shop owner then pop in and see Dave at the Gascupboard in Trowbridge next week. Bristol Rovers back in the League at the first time of asking.

      Bannister and Warboys, smash and grab. I have their autograph somewhere, they opened a sport shop in Warminster! I used to go to Swindon more than Rovers but the Gas's kit is still one of my favourite strips.
