  1. Why is it when put something down in a safe place so that you can find it later. It then has the mind to disappear into a black hole never to be found agian.

      It will appear when looking for something else, which you won`t be able to find either.

  3. I get the feeling from my latest attempt to buy my grandson's Xmas present that if you are a previous customer of Amazon it's Amazon Prime or not at all. (After three attempts I chose Waterstones)

      Yesterday I received a letter from Amazon with a gift card inside, a money off voucher against future purchases I thought? WRONG – It was a card offering me a special 30 day free trial of Amazon Prime, what’s special about that, as it`s the same offer that is advertised on their web site.

  4. Telerail DVDs - highly recommended as a source of inspiration in 12" to the foot scale and for modelling.

      Agreed, but I find the constant background music that is a source of irritation and spoils the enjoyment. The same applied to the Model Rail DVD`s.

  8. Withdrawn: Sodor Railways No2 Edward and No4 Henry 4-6-0 have been withdrawn from TTTE. No1 Thomas is being exported from Sodor for overseas use. Replaced by new locomotives Nia and Rebecca. Should we set up a preservation group ? https://www.portsmouth.co.uk/whats-on/tv/thomas-the-tank-engine-has-been-given-a-huge-multicultural-makeover-1-8623346

      The PC Brigade has ruined another piece of our childhood history, just to make it a more commercial product. I`m surprised they didn`t include characters representing the LBGT+ Community.

  13. Dart Crossing charge for cars increased. Going through the tunnel is often a nightmare so this is really taking the mick.

      Its only those 1 million account holders (cars) that are going to be hit with a 33p rise per crossing, probably to offset the £81 million and growing owned by drivers of foreign vehicles since the toll booths were removed.

      Question during my works defensive driving course - When was the last time you read the Highway Code? Me – probably just before I took my driving test. Our Instructor said it was the most common answer he received.

      It has a toilet – well it saves you doing it out of the window.

  18. There is something rather primeval and yet strangely satisfying about burning all the excess packaging after sorting out and stowing all the items received at a 3-monthly stores/spares delivery...

      Only burnt what couldn`t be recycled? A lot of Charity Shops will take bubble wrap.

  22. Went out for a leisurely bike ride, until a bin lorry overtook me and carried far too much speed towards a sharp bend. It rolled. Everyone’s ok thankfully...stay safe on your push irons people.

      Don`t forget, if you see a flashing amber light on the side of a passing large vehicle, it probably means it’s going to turn left, so don`t try to beat it, give way and stay alive.

      I don`t mind moving into the shed, if you want to have the house for your layout!

  25. I would visit a pox on all those selfish barstewards who use the lavatory in the supermarket and then exit without washing their hands, but I suspect the pox will fall on those who subsequently touch the surfaces contaminated by these gits.

    1. bourneagain

      Why do the majority of exit doors need to be pulled open, using the handle that the last person who couldn`t be bothered to wash has just touched! Surely pull to enter and push to exit would be far more hygienic.
