As long as yous understand wot is being said, tuff......

Pedants Corner: I thought it was just plain "argh" http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/argh, with additional letters for added emphasis at your own discression. For future reference and synonyms - try this lot! http://www.internetslang.com/ARGH-meaning-definition.asp

Your right their. My advise is to except it and move on.

Acid telly for babies.. what thr F are the haa hoos....

The Magic Roundabout for the 21st century.

It's the sense of scale that gets to me. Igglepiggle and co seem massive beside the ninky nonk when it drives past the bandstand, yet they seem very small when thy are inside. The Night Garden must really distort space-time!

The rain or Manchester ?

Come and live in Poland: it was 23c today. Warm and sunny!

Half of Poland has done it the other way round, must like the rain...

I have Google set up as my default search engine in Firefox's search text box. I never see the Google animations because I never see the main Google page... :-)

I like Duck Duck Go, if only for its name :-)

Adblock Plus is my real friend :-)

In Swindon pubs, they did things a little differently.

"Drop lights!"

I don't know but it is something which has long puzzled me (like lots of other expressions used by railway modellers).

So it's pretty safe to assume that you'd have been happier with a West Country pacific working to Oxford, and a Hall taking the rake of 10 Mark 1s forward?... ;-)

Got it in one, CK :-)

(Although the Hall may have got some funny looks at London Road)

But hey, at least you made up good time after Stoke, thanks to the plucky North Staffs New L 0-6-2T they put on as far as Macc ;-)

I thought you might be going.

Unfortunately I didn't manage to get my application in :-(

I'd be asking for the same as one of my great great grandfathers was from Sligo... But unfortunately, I don't think that qualifies me :-(

When the expression 'having a good idea' was turned into 'blue sky thinking' and old-fashioned stuff ceased to be 'cool'.

Shouldn't that be two?

There are 10 kinds of people. Those that understand binary, and those that don't...

Unless Simon was being ironic...

And the correct pronunciation!

On a tramway, do you call them tramlines or tram tracks?

oh no, not this discussion again

Think OO9 and chassis for kits

The several I once owned before selling my N gauge stuff were superb runners. If anyone is buying them for 009 chassis I'd say they know exactly what they're doing.

009 may be a plausible explanation.

Did she leave a note to cancel the milk?

a.k.a.Hellsbane-devilweed!

'Lay Hill' back in vogue!

A clich

It's a Class 20 out of a Farish-shaped box for a Carendt-sized layout :-)

Oh, a quart in a pint pot kinda thinking, I see... hmmmmmm

even 'can i get...?' is quickly becoming 'i want....'

Ah yes, CK. The Australian inflection!

Sounds like you've all become 'highly inflected' with it now. Just 'station stop' it!

Have some irritating looped music...

... It's called "music", is it?

Comes as a shock to me - much like the concept of actually getting my call answered by a real person, possibly even some time today ... nah ... not allowed.

"An unexpected high volume of calls" they also say in normal times, which doesn't exactly engender confidence that they can manage their day-to-day business.

Cheers, nice one!

Between the two is speculation the cycle path followes the line it is almost a model rail curve.

You're back there again (so soon)! Just like a second day at a show, perfect for catching up on those bits of gricing we missed last weekend... :-)

It's norn iron, state schools all break up at end of June, handy for getting a couple of weeks hols in July before the prices get silly!

Train creche - sounds like a posh person describing a disaster.

Whaaaaa! Brio train set on the floor, Mr. Long? ;-)

I imagine that being said, with adenoids.

Or androids.

"All pigs fuelled and ready for take off..." Lovely, I must remember that!!

I didn't realise you two were football fans!

Phil's in for re-education. Going to Everton with his Grandad traumatised him.

Blue was never my fave colour anyway. Although I'm beginning to recover following gentle 'northern' coaching. And women's football is a delightful revelation! )

Sunny in West Sussex.. : )

Sunny in Atherton but then it is the sunshine suburb :-)

Never mind, half an aspirin will cure it; it does every alternate Tuesday in said rag...

But you do get a clear ahead view in the trams which I don't think there was in the 504s!

I thought it was already open! At Piccadilly, yesterday, the destinations had changed from Droyelsden to Ashton.

TfGM website says first tram from Ashton will be 05.59 Wednesday 9th October.

It would need EU certification first!

Probably contains horse.

Oh yes, of course... 'Salmon Trout' followed by a

Extra depressing having gone from one of the best, GNER, to the worst, East Coast

Quite agree David - bring back "The Route of Phoebe Snow" ummm sorry, "...The Flying Scotsman"!

The only East Coast loco with a decent livery's the BBMF 91!

A deluge here in Cornwall while it's scorchio in Manchester...?? Surely that can't be right!

falmouth packet website reveals temp now 7.5 degrees with 100% chance of rain!!

Manchester reverting to type. Now 4.5 degrees and 100% raining!

Weather looking good. Some rain Saturday night but should be sunny all next week, hopefully. Leaves starting to get Fall Colour.

Have a good trip!

Hve a bowl of chowdah' for me.

I'd like Templot1 back but I lost it when we got a new computer :-(

David - I think I've got a couple of the older versions archived somewhere. PM me.

David, almost everything from the earlier versions works just the same in Templot2. Please ask on Templot Club if you are stuck - http://85a.co.uk/forum/
