As we are fast approaching the silly season it might be time for a caption contest featuring our beloved CK. A splendid and most commodious notion of a gentleman.

 

Any minute now, those men in malachite will drag me off this platform and back to the naughty chair...

We'll have to watch out for the Rivet Police - they'll have us for the coffee cup - it's the wrong shade of brown for this era of BR Catering!

CK is playing the panto dame in the Kernow pasty aficionados little theatre group, this year Brief Encounter: This can't last. This misery can't last. I must remember that and try to control myself. Nothing lasts really. Neither happiness nor despair. Not even life lasts very long. There'll come a time in the future when I shan't mind about this anymore, when I can look back and say quite peacefully and cheerfully how silly I was. No, no, I don't want that time to come ever. I want to remember every minute, always, always to the end of my days.

Conceptually, I cannot conceive of any aesthetic resonance in such biomorphic notions, my dears.

Alas, I must concur. It is the inevitable consequence of combining quantum gravity (as a social and linguistic construct) with a transcendental hermeneustic post-modernist production.

The Good Capt'n (does he still maintain his rank?) looks the part of a retired government official complete with coffee.  Pants all pressed, shoes all shined and an air of confidence becoming someone of his station which appears to be one on a famous line in the Cotswolds.

It's that time of year again when I give my very best Christmas wishes to the friends, followers and contributors of this thread here in the UK and overseas.

 

Merry Christmas and a happy 2020. Castle class 5011 Tintagel Castle on a down express does the honours.

 

[M.I.B]

And good wishes in return from the other end of the line at North Cranford.

Another fine year for the finest of threads.

Soon hopefully a rather nice tinplate Hornby SR Refrigerator Van will arrive in time for Christmas alongside a M & S Cardi which will make a Happy Time for me.  I wish you all happy times this festive season.

For those West of the Tamar:  Nadelik Lowen!
