(Trump tweet threatens to cut funding to schools if they don't reopen in the middle of a pandemic) Mckenany press conference" "The president is actually saying he wants to increase funding to schools" Sound of reporters heads exploding. Can't talk, we have our own issues here with our leader, now he's going around standing on peoples new lawns... https://www.theregister.com/2020/06/04/australia_pm_grass/ 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The latest idiocy is that they are proposing Failing Grayling be head of the intelligence oversight committee and Liam Fox as boss of the WTO.

Malcolm 0-6-0 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 5 hours ago, brianusa said: I rather think you can take Trump and his tweets as real. It would appear that his words are considered honest, factual and truthful as uttered by his henchpeople who are only too happy to make fools of themselves also. Another term for this aging president would be a gift to his followers and a disaster for the rest but the answer is not necessarily Joe Biden, as he is even older!. The sad part about this whole episode is that there are no younger qualified contestants for the job coming along! God help America! Brian Take heart, Kanye West has offered his services, however he is demonstrably mentally unstable (i.e. mad as bag full of frogs) and married to a Kardashian (that's the equivalent of plighting one's troth to a bag of silica and a syringe of botox) which on the Richter scale of intellectual incompetency is 12. But then a minority of US voters chose Trump in 2016 so he has a good chance of getting in if he actually can get over the formalities of nomination. I used to admire the US democratic system which for all its faults did manage to elect some competent Presidents now all you need to get elected is to tell the voters "... like being grabbed by their pussies". That should have attracted condemnation from the ASPCA but they were too sleepy to notice 2 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Short documentary films that appeared during the day, handy for the TV repair industry testing the latest of the many repairs that they had to make, TVs were not very reliable back then.

Nearholmer Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 (edited) I’d say it could well be LSWR, which must have made for pent-up feelings, because the first tunnel is absolutely ages from Waterloo, Guildford I think being the nearest, but I’m open to correction.

What was that 1899 train? LSWR ? Shillamill Tunnel, according to the BFI: https://player.bfi.org.uk/free/film/watch-the-kiss-in-the-tunnel-1899-online There's a "northern" version by Riley Brothers of Bradford, featuring Midland trains around Esholt: https://player.bfi.org.uk/free/film/watch-the-kiss-in-the-tunnel-1899-online-0 It goes in a 0-4-4T and comes out a 4-4-0 - if the G.A.

Wheels was in the charts in 1960, so it can't be any earlier. I like the Hand of God shot at the end! 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
