At least in the high mountains round there they don't melt. Nepali? I do like a challenge About time Mr Duck-ji brought us back into line I think, as if that were possible, or even desirable.

RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted March 14, 2019 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted March 14, 2019 (edited) Mr Duck has been testing out the railways for a few days. On Monday I saw the sadness that is the LSWR main line west of Salisbury but pretended he was being hauled by a 'Packet' between Clapham and Salisbury, including sonic boom speed around Walton and sunny North west Surrey. Tasty bit of railway that is and also a tasty Westons Cider consumed somewhere near Seaton Junction. On Tuesday I was bored but did have a GF Pizza where once upon a time there was a Railway goods yard in Plymuff and then enduring a dire performance by the pathetic Greens. Mind numbingly awful I am sorry to say. Yesterday I experienced the racetrack that is the GWR cut off between Tiverton, Taunton and Newbury and arrived at Reading 6 minutes early; HST in full flight until faff at Southall resulting in 3 minutes late arrival at the bear Station Platform 1. I also spied a whole load of new trains hanging around outside Paddington; looks like a MR Shop Stockroom. Got lost for while on the Circle Line which did not go in a circle, then had to wait at KX for quite a while until being whizzed back to 36E in another HST whilst having yet anoher cider. Today I identified some long closed Railways wot I had identified in Plymuff, near Friary and Sutton Harbour. Now I am bored again but planning how I can avoid hearing anything more about "Shall we call it best of three"....complete arse bandit behaviours that is spoiling my week. There you go, now get on with whatever you were doing mon amis. Ar$£ Edited March 14, 2019 by Mallard60022 6 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never mind, however I was impressed with the inscription on the sea wall at Dawlish thanking you for your rapid response with the modelling clay and glue. Also Box Tunnel looks very clean.

They have been struggling because that footbridge has been closed for almost two years, however they have survived and could well be a destination when I next come down if you are interested in scoff?

P Not being a cider drinker, I wouldn't really know, but I will be in the Dolphin later as i'm going to a funeral at lunchtime and the wake is being held there, so I will see what cider they purvey. I don't think the Dolphin has changed much since you lived in Plimuff, except for bring the facilities indoors, I think the originals would have made a nice little project for Stubby. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if it is going to be made into the gas filled pi## that is German beer in bottles or even kegs (and the stuff from elsewhere that already exists that is just as I describe it here), then they can shove it up their injectors.

brianusa Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Something must have happened in my extended absence as we gave that place a wide berth. The Barbican was never a draw except for the tourists and some of the clientele could be embarrassing, to say the least. It wasn't a good place to park your car either. We preferred some of the more rural hostelries which were just becoming more upscale at the time. Trouble is, then you to compete with young RN Lt's from Manadon!
