  1. Twistin’ The Night Away - Sam Cooke
  2. What James gets up to off-camera is his affair.
  3. The late Mark Gurries would be shaking his head at some of this.
  4. We did, but 4-up w camping equipment meant it was overloaded. 55 mph was the max, even on autobahnen, as it became unstable from there. It was awful on Belgian pavé And the clutch played up - dealers visited - but I think one driver was hamfooted with it. When the owner took over it seemed fine again. The brief skirmish with a trolleybus in Trieste - that driver again - didn't result in more than a scrape, fortunately.
  5. An acquaintance is a guide at Exeter Cathedral. Such an appointment required many months of study and an exam, despite having held the same post at Gloucester Cathedral. I wonder how he pronounces it. If we see him we'll ask.
  6. I'll have you know that in 1966 four of us went camping in a 1964 Hillman Imp - from Surrey to Dubrovnik!
  7. All the Harry Potter nutters from the USA, Japan and other parts of the world.
  8. Irthlingborough! A place name I had forgotten! In the BR HQ open-plan office full of support staff for TOC Privatisation, 1994-6, there seemed to be several young ladies who lived there, commuting from Wellingborough. Must have been a good peak-hour service.
  9. A fine and comprehensive portfolio, thankyou. As for quality - most people would think they'd done quite well to take them!
  10. Sheds w a full complement of doors are in short supply hereabouts....
  11. Living In The UK - Shakatak
  12. Afraid so, Captain. Something to do with 22 grown men chasing a bag of wind like bees round a honeypot. Baffling.
  13. Certainly for the wagons, Rapido are clearing whole batches, so the website says sold-out. But the bigger dealers may have plenty left. E1s are a much bigger investment, but dealers may still have some over and above their client pre-orders.
  14. Wasn't that what the Dambusters set out to do, by flooding and beggaring power supplies?
  15. Oh well, as they say in Spain, hacienda that, then.
  16. Miles After Dark - David Benoit
  17. I am deeply, but deeply, disappointed.
  18. Official comment from Newey https://www.pitpass.com/77587/Now-was-a-good-time-to-take-step-back-take-a-bit-of-a-break-says-Newey
  19. One Mint Julep - Ray Charles
