A Nod To Brent - a friendly thread, filled with frivolity, cream teas and pasties. Longing for the happy days in the South Hams 1947.

I'd love to be fit enough for that. Bet it's a freezing night in January.

I'm back, what have I missed. Going to Wembley today was like going on holiday. I saw plenty of Devonians , a Dart Line Coach and a Warren's Bakery. PUSB's.

Yay! Congrats Rob. You me and the duck will have to do the sky blues vs the argyle next season.

 

Most definitely.

[Mallard60022]

Enjoy the moment Rob and all the best for the coming season. I am going to try to get to The Stadium of Light (if they have any light that is) this season.

They are faffing around as always, third tier, mediocre and have been carp since Neil Warnock left. No money down that way either.

However, they are 'my team' and I can't help but support their often fragile efforts.

I am also probably the only Janner that feels a bit sorry for Exeter.

I am pleased to find that “reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated” as perhaps Mark Twain put it. In fact, we’ve been down the pub, where I got a kiss from the landlady - and Sherry got a kiss from the landlord. They are both a few years younger than us, too!

Did the landlord give you a kiss as well or is that not very Torbay?

Does anybody want to see images of a King, Hall, Manor, 28xx, 64xx Pannier, a Southern thing, a Standard thing and an American thing running along an ex-GWR secondary mainline over the Bank Holiday weekend?

I may or may not choose to confirm or deny that it wasn't me, because I may or may not have been watching 'Car Share' (or 'How to Solder Individual Pasties') whilst eating my lunch.

These "thing's" have class names you know and the Grand Inquisitor is highly likely to throw you in the 'Iron Bulleid' (or much worse*) for an infraction like that..

Stoneycombe now weathered using Lifecolor weathered wood acrylics and a 'powder' limestone load. I wanted to keep the lettering intact considering how much POWsides kits are nowadays.

Anything that's cute and pannierish will do nicely, thanks.
