It'll go all gooey & the butter will slide off. On the other hand, Toasted Terrier = Hot Dog , which gives an alternative if the pasties have all been eaten.

True, but you wouldn't want to stuff one of those with thin sliced beef, would you? Actually, come to think of it . . . .

Haven't had a stottie for years. Used to enjoy them stuffed with thin sliced beef, onions & gravy. Stottie, pasty, cake & trains all on the same day - it's getting better all the time . . . .

I'd sooner have a Ruby Tuesday.

Not like you to hold back coyly, Tim. Why don't you say it like it really is? C'mon, tell us what you really think . . . . PS talking of Ivybridge, have you been to that chippy in Plympton? Kingfisher I think it's called. Chippy of the year 2017 or 2018.

C'mon, you can't blame the County Council for everything, can you?

Oi! Just watch it, Duck, else you could end up smothered in a nice, sharp tangerine sauce. Actually, that scoreline wouldn't surprise me at all. Bring on all the usual cliches: "It's always a roller-coaster ride with Blackpool." "Let's hope for a towering performance." "The sand's better on the pitch than it is on the beach." etc. At least there should be a reasonable crowd now the Oystons have been forcibly removed. Will we still be talking to each other at 5 o'clock?

What can you say? The man's retired but he still wants to have a finger in every pie . . . .

Why do you keep your pee in a storage box? Most of us are relieved to be rid of it. Also, keeping your new loco in a box full of pee would probably do little to enhance its running. Just saying, that's all - your foibles have no effect on me!

Got to be honest & say I really hope they don't get that many next Saturday. I know that the greenies could do with a few more points but my lot could really make much better use of the 3 on offer. After what we've been through for the last few years, the high court has finally chucked out the Oystons & given us a chance to get back a bit of self-respect. Would be nice if the rest of the football community would join in & help . . . .

Well worth a visit if you're in the area. Especially so this year as Dartmoor Exmoor Dave has said he'll buy all RMWeb members a cup of tea & a sticky bun. (at least, I think that's what he said . . . . )

Stop moaning - nothing that a bit of Milliput won't sort out.

Spent a pleasant hour on the seafront & beach at Seaton yesterday afternoon with the dog. Hazy sunshine, very warm for the time of year and quite a few people around with it being half-term. I know it's a bit naughty, but I couldn't resist this one. Not the clearest of photos and being a 'still' doesn't do the scene justice. You had to be behind and on the move to get the best effect - just imagine the vision of those 4 in rhythmic motion . . . . They do say that dogs take after their owners . . . .

Well, after a long, careful study of the photos I reckon I've got the answer - the signal box has gone! Regarding the other main topic of discussion, never mind Argyle's failure to throw it away at Sarfend - what about the unexpected win my lot got at Pompey? That really was a turnip in the woodpile.

I think you would do better to go on the Sunday rather than the Saturday Would save a long wait . . . .

A bit of a long shot, I know, but does anyone have a spare motor for the Bachmann BR Standard 3 tank (aka 82XXX)? Mine was plodding along quite happily when it suddenly came to a juddering halt due to a dead motor. Haven't tried Bachmann - no doubt they'll be closed over the holiday period - and can't spot anything on the Peter's Spares website.

They said I'd got a weak stomach. I told them I was throwing it as far as I could . . . .

I'll give you Darcy Bussell, but I'll bet your doctor's not as nice as my tottydoc. And . . . Amy Pond can't hold a candle to Clara Oswald. Did I ever mention that the delightful Jenna-Louise went to the same school as me? To be fair, I did leave 30-odd years before she started, but it's the thought that counts, or so they say.

Ventnor West - 7mm / 0 gauge layout from Kevin Cartwright, long-time Warley (and others!) stalwart. First exhibition in an almost-completed state, albeit using mainly Terriers as he's only got 1 ( I think) 02 available at the moment. A few very minor teething problems but generally worked well when I operated for a little while on the Saturday.

That's what my old Headmaster, cane in hand (at least, I was led to believe it was a cane), used to tell us older chaps before getting us to bend over & drop 'em . . . . His wife used to spend an awful lot of time 'looking after the well-being' of the younger boys in the junior school. Very well liked, she was . . . . It's nice to know that we all got a good, rounded education back in those days.

I was hoping to upgrade, not degrade . . . . Bluddy smart #rses, they get everywhere

Thanks - I'll give him a shout.

I understand that there's a (relatively) recent update of the operating system to V1.05, which gives access to functions beyond 20 (for more-modern sound chips). Is there anyone out there willing and/or able to upgrade a couple of handsets for me? Wouldn't expect it to be done for nothing, of course, if that makes a difference. Perhaps PM may be more appropriate than replying on here?

With all due respect, and purely for the sake of accuracy, it should be pointed out that '68 is/was a Jub, not a Pat, as I'm sure the Hon. Member for Perth, WA, will confirm. You just can't get the staff these days . . . . < Pedant mode off > Straying slightly(?) off-topic, I have to register a coming together on Saturday with young Mr Mortimore who should henceforth be referred to as Specky rather than Spikey, the latter which might be inferred from his avatar - "a long time ago", I understand, from his horsey mouth.

I know the 3MT tanks worked into BGP - seen various photos & references to that - but did they actually work services over the S&D? I've always thought they were just on the Bristol trains.
