So why has he got a hot water bottle there?
Is his rubberised horsehair freezing all over?

Flying Scotsman is "iconic" because it suits the NRM for it to be so.
It should also be remembered that until the Moneypit fell into their hands, City of Truro was the NRMs candidate for "the first to 100" . All the official stuff for FS is their spin.

Dry and sunny here, though there is a bit of cloud about. Met office claims sunny with cloudy spells, temps just into double figures and less than 5% chance of precipitation...

IIRC, the average European of today has something like 3 - 5% Neanderthal DNA.

Its the ones at the high end of the spectrum you have to worry about, and if two breed....

OTOH its the Labrador gene thats a concern. I was just sitting here, and I had a compulsion to get some toast and a muggatea.....
"crunch, crunch"
Crackin' toast, Gromit!

A contradiction in terms - no such things!
I know what you mean, though - if they pay, we'll advertise it!

Latest Steam Railway magazine arrived this morning with this offering for £99.96 + P & P.
Again only 4 ,999 available so best get in there quickly for more exclusive Tat!!!
I wonder how much extra the tender will be 😂
The wheels look rather "underscale", and the warped body reminiscent of an early Rovex/Triang Princess Elizabeth. Then there's that livery...
And if it's 8 inches wide, how long is it?

£12.99 from a big orange shed, no doubt cheaper elsewhere.
Quicker and quieter than a chainsaw or angle grinder
A nice pair of squirrel nut loppers!

Put some towels in the wash this morning and hung them out to "dry". As its not all that warm, the breeze has dropped and its gone rather dull, I've been keeping an eye on whats going on outside as I bumble around other housekeeping tasks just in case the weather decides another rinse cycle is needed...
🙂
Just can't trust the weather! After typing the above, I thought it had become a bit greyer, popped my nose outside and discovered dampish sprinkles in the air... Now they're all inside on a drying rack.

Why 4,999 as the number available and not 5,000?
Perhaps they don't count the one in their rogues gallery, to show what mugs buy.
They're indexed from zero?

Or number 1 is reserved for some poor sap to receive at a presentation...

Tut tut.
Won't be paying anything!
Of course as a "collectors item" it won't be used enough for the microscopically thick gold plating to wear off...

No comment necessary.
Joking aside, I feel that slashing the blisters with a Stanley knife* would lead to a major advancement in road safety.

Nice bit of carcass failure.
Is it just me, or would anyone else like to stick something sharp into those bubbles?
Dunno....
In a human, that would be the Black Death, and I wouldn't like to get anywhere near those buboes...

Still used Decca Navigator in my time - which as I'm sure you in particular know, was based on H2S radar technology IIRC!
It was related to Gee/Oboe, which were hyperbolic navigation systems devised for "precision" bombing during WW2. Decca differed by using two signal phase comparison rather than the pulsed timing of the RAF systems and was first deployed by the RN for precision minesweeping during the D Day operations.
H2S was an aerial bombing radar system, mainly used for targets outside the range of Gee or Oboe.

Probably in the medical facility the way my knee is feeling...
I did my right knee in years ago, going down a hatchway on a narrowboat in an incautious manner and bending it back to front... Its given me gyp ever since.

You are leading the poor chap down the garden path, Neil. Since when has the traffic on ERs made any sense?
Dave
I've frequented ER for several years now. On good days I can interpret a fair bit. On bad days, however.... 🤔🤪
