McDougall is the man for you,
So back him to the hilt,
He knows what's what,
He'll stop the rot,
There's no flies up his kilt!

For some inexplicable reason, that reminds me of "Chopped" (a show that used to be on Food Network) - especially the bit where Ted Allen lifts a cover off a plate and says: "------, you have been chopped".
As for "Fred the flour grader" that takes me back to TV ads from my childhood (quite a few years ago). -

Prune juice is good for you.

One of the things that endears me to this forum, as compared with a certain other 'specialist gauge 4mm forum' is the fact that very few people on here make a past-time of assuming the guise of self-appointed 'experts' and thus making a seemingly simple or straightforward job as complicated as possible...

How very nice it was recently to see footage of the new 'Falcon' 0-4-2ST working on the Corris Railway.

And yet, nothing can be done to bring home to the youth* the anguish or anger his act of vandalism has caused.
We're told that the tree was 300 or more years old. Looking at the condition of the sawn stump, it could have gone on for many more years, certainly longer than the lifespan of the destructive b@stard who killed it.
(And as a member of the NT, I for one would like to give the perpetrator a good kicking...)
* If he was the actual vandal, I wonder if he was put up to it for yet undiscovered reasons

A 16 year old wielding a chainsaw ? From where ?And using it,so it appears,to awesome,accurate effect. The destruction would not have been heard or seen due its remoteness, Our young people .or some of them,are losing their way..
Making a statement of terrible consequence.Another fatal stabbing in the same news. Symptoms of a broken society.

Just been using some L.A. Awesome to remove some rubbish enamel weathering on a Bachmann pannier I bought second-hand.
The results are, well, awesome!

This has been rumbling on for what seems like forever, but there finally seems to be some movement here now - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-devon-66583474

Why do bananas start going brown the minute you break them in half?

Looking forward to the third Pen & Sword volume on the Brecon and Merthyr, which has just been published ( written by John Hodge and Ray Caston).

"The Home Office confirmed that the cartoon characters painted on the walls of the asylum centre were painted over on Tuesday following the order from Mr Jenrick."
There you go CK. My 'Virtue Signalling' has been confirmed.
Pity Mr Bacon finds 'Pal' patronising isn't it considering it's a term used widely in the North between blokes!
I'm outta here, but thanks CK for highlighting this obnoxious occurence.

I think I've been infected by something originating in the East, because I've found another LNER loco that I quite like.

Back in the '90s one of the shops selling sarnies at Waterloo - I think it was Boots(?) used to do al 'all day breakfas sandwich containing egg, bacon, sausage, and tonmato. But what made it complete was the bread ' baked bean flavour white bread - well actually a sort of pinkish-pale brown colour. Much to my amazement if all made quite a tasty sarnie on the days I'd not been provided with any bt herself at home.
But they were only on sale for a few months so obviously I must have been one of the few people who actually liked them

I wish that from time to time, someone would produce an RTR steam loco that didn't require me to either send it back or build a replacement chassis or even just change the wheels, to enable it to run on my bullhead track. Consistent wheel profiles between the various RTR manufacturers would also help. It's all enough to make you go shopping for hair shirts again!

It might not have been the most wonderful set up in the world but oh for the days of the BRMSB and manufacturers who actually took notice of and used the standards it published. Those standards are still around and could, if needed be updated so why don't 'manufacturers' use them? Or is it because they are not 'manufacturers' in the real sense of that word?

I wonder what some UK train operators might do, to reach this level of rolling stock availability?! - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/world-europe-63442530
