And not in four wheel coaches either I would think.

Hoped against hope that the rumours on Monday weren't true but sadly they are. Currently spinning Spirit of Eden and will move onto Laughing Stock and the solo album before bed. On vinyl of course.

I only have Laughing Stock and the solo album on CD, but vinyl for the others. A 12" single or two somewhere as well.

Laughing stock is a strange semi official pressing from around 10 years ago. Solo album vinyl was a re-release not too many years ago.

Recommend in a similar vein I Trawl the Megahertz by Paddy McAloon (Prefab sprout). Sadly though the recent release are all miss pressed (off centre). 

Amen to that brother, I am in the same position and steeling myself to offload stock for the hypothetical layouts that may never get built.

But who'd have a 15?

I'm so behind the times- I didn't know they'd extended the numbers into the 50s.

But you could choose at least 28 numbers between 1 and 59 that refer to tops locomotive classes

Aye, the rains getting warmer now...

I too had 21st March in mind AND apparently there have been more snowy Easters than Christmases in the last century or so. I will nevertheless say that it does feel like Spring today.

I remember a good 6 inches of snow fell at Easter in 1981, in Wiltshire!

Cut above the rest !

You Know how to live...

yep, pushing the boat out! Bottle of Punk IPA too, yum.

Jammy. I bought a GC subway for a tenner. Still looking for a GC booking office.

I was about to buy one on Ebay too for £38... good thing I dithered.

It was on Drama, a Freeview channel, Monday evening, eight til nine.

And if you don't watch it I'm going to come round all your houses and smash up all your toys!

odd, dont seem to have drama on freesat - should be 156 but nuthin...

Just checked with Michael Fish. Almost got blown away with his reply.

Hope those at sea around the Irish coast and the Scottish and Welsh west coasts get to safety.

Well said.

Radio 6? I thought the dial stopped at 2. And started at it, for that matter...

Radio 4 is where I was at but I'm finding it's getting tedious, and Radio 6 - on digital - plays some top toons, including some of the old stuff!

I'm on my second already. No will power some people!

Having stuff is good ... and healthy. Not having stuff shows a lack of ambition and imagination. It is also a well known fact that you cannot have too many locos

Yes, the numbers are a bit scary - best not think about it too much. I feel better already. In fact now I have cleared the board of stock it looks a little empty... another 3F would keep the other(s) company.

So am I, it's the irish land that holds all the luck.

must be something in the water too...

Well, the Celtic Tiger was found to be walking on quicksand...
