      Sorry, but where exactly is this? No captions.

  3. This afternoon I have just endured 73 hours (ish) in the Cinema being forced to watch Mama Mia 2. Whilst my wife (wisely) fell asleep I couldn’t help thinking that the 3 or 4 modelling projects (I have on the go) could have benefited enormously instead.

      It was 'suggested'to me that we go and see it, here in Poland. Put my foot down : this is really a ladies film and I saw the first one. Once is enough!

PKP EU07-324 in the news, with broken spring dropped a wheel on the deck at a country station, after two hour delay was rerailed, and promptly became a driverless runaway with its 4 coaches and its heavily delayed passengers still on board keeping out of the cold weather whom were patiently awaiting bus replacement only in Poland !

      PKP have a lot to answer for. Did they write that book 'I tried to run a railway' ?

      My deepest sympathies: I've been suffering from vertigo for 8 months. Wake up feeling drunk, stagger about (mostly) and go to bed feeling the same. Just had an MRI scan - waiting for results. I hope they can find a cure for you: don't give up.
