jcredfer Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 "Free to a good home". I can think of a home where they could make most useful contribution!! The cost would be quite high - but completely worth it. That would be my "Trump card", in the debate. :sungum: J 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Controller Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Ah,but the wait, pain and disappointment of under ordering ? And you'd never get a colour match in a new order. Looks as though there's been a bit of a slip on the cliff to the west of the work-site. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium jamie92208 Posted January 29, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 29, 2017 (edited) They'd make great Whisky rocks but you would need a rather large glass and also a big freezer to cool them. However I can't see a problem with a large glass of malt.Jamie Edited January 31, 2017 by jamie92208 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Train Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 I keep having thoughts of a bunch of pikeys trying to prise one of those big rocks onto the back of a clapped out transit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jukebox Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 (edited) It's been bugging me for weeks now - I thought it was just rope from attaching a Costains banner or something - but now see the footbridge is "wired for sound"*.... Sparkies are usually pernickety sods, and everything goes in runs parallel or perpendicular... so I'm curious just what all those white cables are for. *Yes, I know it's not really, Don't mean it literally. Cliff Richard probably doesn't even know it exists. But it's wired for something... Edited February 4, 2017 by jukebox 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Todd Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 (edited) A news flash,from Nige, From the Crow's Nest: Sailing Yacht A "Roger Yacht A, you are clear for take off....." What's all this, I hear you ask. Well, this is the long and eagerly awaited delivery voyage of the largest sailing yacht in the world. She's so big in fact, that there was only one way out from the Nobiskrug yard where she was built at Kiel in Germany. That's because of the rail and road bridges limiting her options as her three masts, built here in the UK incidentally, peak at some 100 metres in height. And therein lays the title of the post. She had to use the Strait of Drogden and that meant seeking permission to do so from Copenhagen's Kastrup International Airport as her height exceeds the 50 metres limitation to comply with aviation safety rules! And therein lays the title of the post. She had to use the Strait of Drogden and that meant seeking permission to do so from Copenhagen's Kastrup International Airport as her height exceeds the 50 metres limitation to comply with aviation safety rules! That's done and she's on her way, heading for Kristiansand this morning and eventually onwards to Spain. And when she passes the Dover Strait, we will be waiting!

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted February 6, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 6, 2017 (edited) 'Near' by Australian standards. Nah, more like right next door by Australian standards. I had a proper 'Town Like Alice' moment (those who saw the film will understand this) when I was out in Aus. One Saturday I ventured up into the Blue Mountains and popped into a cafe in the centre of Katoomba for a bite to eat. As ever the locals were friendly and were interested to know where I lived in England so I duly explained 'near Reading' only to be asked if that was near Guildford to which I explained that it was about 30 miles away - so I was then asked if I knew so & so who lived in Guildford? And I'm pretty sure the question was serious and not some sort of joke. Edited February 6, 2017 by The Stationmaster Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
