      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.

    Nigel Harris has two obsessions, HS2 and the continuation of the existing franchise process and I'm bored with them. Change the record, Nigel.

    Great day out at Amberley museum. Highly recommended.

      Phil Copleston

      Told ya so! Glad you enjoyed it. Did you go for a ng train ride too?

    2. DavidLong

      DavidLong

      Oh yes. A little yellow Hunslet and open coaches.

    3. Phil Copleston

      Phil Copleston

      Excellent. That little yellow Hunslet reminds me of 'The Little Engine That Could', as it chuffed along saying "I think I can, I know I can" - toot-toot! :)

  10. DavidLong

    Looking forward to my first visit to Amberley museum today.

    1. Phil Copleston

      Phil Copleston

      Toot-toot! Amberley is a delight. Enjoy :)

    Off to Republic of Ireland v Oman at Craven Cottage. Not expecting much in the way of entertainment :-)

    1. Phil Copleston

      Phil Copleston

      Maybe not entertaining. But at least it was a win. Hurrahhh then! :)

    Big thunderstorm. Dog has put her tin hat on and taken refuge under a bed.

    Been on Chiltern's Mainline loco-hauled. Wow! Civilised way to travel.

    1. Phil Copleston

      Phil Copleston

      Ahhh yes, travel on the Great Western/Great Central Joint... t'was always a civilised route! (Interesting background here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiltern_Main_Line)

      Thanks. Looks ummm... swish!!

    Good company and excellent layouts at Railwells. Special mention for Black Lion Crossing and The Brewery.

    1. Phil Copleston

      Phil Copleston

      Agreed. Although it was Black Lion Crossing and Wansbeck Road that did it for me :)

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

    4. Phil Copleston

      Phil Copleston

      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! :))

  17. DavidLong

    Copy of 'Hymek Dawn' arrived today. Yippee :-)

  18. DavidLong

    Excellent day on the IWSR. Travelled behind both 'Freshwater' and 'Callbourne' :-)

    Just travelled on cheerful ex-Centro green/yellow/blue Class 150. Sadly soon to be in funeral Northern purple. What a miserable livery.

    1. SHMD

      SHMD

      I don't think the colour matters! The unit is miserable.

    2. DavidLong

      DavidLong

      Not as miserable as a 142 but even those would seem a little better in a brighter livery.

  25. DavidLong

    Irish Sea a bit bumpy!
