Jol Wilkinson Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Correct. A playing career spanning over 50 years. They had first played together for Hoggersgate United in the 1918 North Durham Challenge Trophy. Sandie Balls would have been there too in 1968 if it were not for the fact the second world war intervened and when taking the medical for the WVS, Sandie turned out to be Sandy and received a lifetime playing ban from the Durham FA. Whey Hey, There's another. Sandy Balls Aaaaargh, bl**dy footing the ball in a MRJ thread, is nothing sacred? I'll have to cancel my subscription if this keeps up.

Bernard Lamb Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 I think you may have just started another thread of a different kind for MRJ...how early can you get yours? Those of us in Spain can't play... Mike I don't see why not. I once saw a copy in a newsagents in a suburb of Sydney NSW before my subscription copy had arrived at my home address in the UK. Idea for another thread. Most obscure location where a copy, of any edition, has been seen on sale. Bernard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold pirouets Posted October 9, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 9, 2016 As a total interloper on this thread having only read about 2 copies of MRJ in my life properly, can I just say as a long time and now lapsed reader of Railway Modeller, if this is what happens to you mind when you start reading MRJ full time, i'll stick to my out of scale OO track and scalescenes kits thank you very much :-) Also thank you for sharing that there is a place called shittlehope in the world. I feel like that sometimes trying to cut things out and every monday morning when work comes around again. Also amused to see Lord York getting sucked in to this as I guess the flip side is Warners would love it if this was the anticipation for an issue of BRM coming out each month.

Cricket; not my game. Wendy (born 1960)was probably Piddley's sister. She taught me a thing or two about crease craft though. Did I ever tell you how their dads fingers became detached from the rest of him? P.s. You've got a fortnight to draw up Coxhoe Level Crossings gates in Cad.
