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

You'll have no problems there Phil, get a ticket and have a great day out.

20 years ago I would have walked there if necessary. Now I really can't take it Cap'n. It's bad enough listening on the radio thingy.

Suppose I could find a pub that might show it and then I could get drunk and miss the goal that takes them up.

No wonder you won that. Argyle didn't have a team. How come you only scored 1, or did you do that after 3 seconds and then sat down for 89 minutes and 57 seconds? 

I probably was at this game, but only just!

I am told that I was born just before kick off on a Saturday in the next 'season' and that mother was not amused at having to be in hostible instead of Home Park. I think we lost that match as well.   I shall check on some web site.

I'm daft as I thought Acridtin Stoneleigh had already qualified, however I see they are 1 - 0 down to the Wombles. I think I'd prefer the Wombles as they will tidy up after they have been beaten.

Falmin' 'eck Rob. Look at all those footy specials you can run for 47. The Newcastle one for example and maybe Leeds & Donny; you will need Gresleys and LMS stock.

Great layout but most of us are not interested in stuff that could be done in an email, telephone or a PM.

 

Now I will duck for cover as the next 5 pages assault me...........

This Hall class train is another favourite and is an inter regional parcels with both GWR and SR vans.

You don't have to read it matey.

I think it is about 21 years since the barmaid (Chloe, 21 and must have been nudging 6' tall) in our local - The Windmill in Cranbrook, Kent - christened me The King of Smut. It is an accolade I have been happy to bear into my dotage.

 

I can confirm the veracity of the final sentence.

Bless you young man.

 

Once upon a time I too was foolish enough to think ANTB was about a GWR layout set in 1947 ... thankfully it's far more entertaining than just that.

Play Up Pompey!, oh, sorry they lost (as expected).

 

Must get back to those green coaches, Set 146 this time around.

Being an old softy (not that Mr Softee) I actually feel sorry for Portsmouth. The playoffs are like a lifeline that has been snatched away at the final moment if you lose.

I am well impressed with many of the Pompey fans who have wished the Greens well (but we know they will laugh like #### if Argyle stumble at Wemberlee). 

I'm going to have to have therapy/hypnosis or some other treatment to make me not interested in footy.

Today I have built two Parkside kits as a sort of Therapy. 

Having seen Robs last pics I am seriously considering finding one of those Ratio SR Bogie Vans and build it. Lots of lovely clunky wooden bits sticking out all over the place.Ummmmm!

It's worse than that. Sherry was born in Wiltshire, formative years in Surrey - where we kinda met at skool - and most of her adult life in Staffs. At least we got married in Torquay! Her first wedding was in Michigan, but to a Brit.
