I vow not to buy products whose ads are populated by puerile furry animals

Will everything become Wordy McWordWord soon?

Anyone know what's happened to Geoff Taylor buildings website?

I think there should be a thread with half a dozen countdown clocks, and we have to guess what they are for

It's embarrassing sending a PM to someone whose name you've forgotten. I really should make a list...

Brazil look a bit tasty...

On the GWR, the correlation of a tender underframe to the body type was largely coincidental

"When the seagulls follow the trawler, it's because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea."

Looking for a thread with a faded crimson 7mm WEP 'Beetle' and a maroon Fruit D - it was posted yesterday, but darned if I can find it again!

It turned out the rail replacement bus service had been replaced by a non-existent one

I do not approve of anything that tampers with natural ignorance. Ignorance is like a delicate exotic fruit; touch it and the bloom is gone. The whole theory of modern education is radically unsound. Fortunately in England, at any rate, education produces no effect whatsoever.
