Oi nothing wrong with sunny Bognor Jim boy, better than living north of the Thames..... : )

I think Big Jim is quoting King George V

45 years today. Spent the day working away

Forty five - a distant memory ago for me... Work does get in the way of such events; hope you have some time to enjoy it.

In the harvester next to the travelodgical so will have a beer with tea.

The main Goods Yard at Scarborough was on Gallows Close

EMT Etches Park?

2 days of meetings in RTC

One thing the Swiss do well is dealing with snow

half a dozen flakes just fell on the Sussex Coast, now blue sky and sunshine again so that's our winter over and done with for another year...

Good for you. Since coming to Switzerland, Winter, for me, has always been 'the long, slow grind to Spring'.

There were two Direst Rail class 37's topping and tailing the Network carriages in Exeter this morning if anyone's interested

607 and 608

Pity I left Hrosham in 2002!

Dhansak all the way! Washed down with copious pints of Cobra!

Good choice.

We all need a good curry on a regular basis

Just got very drafty here in Manchester.

Salford Docks have got proper 'white caps' on the waves now!

Rhos on Sea prom getting proper washed over in salt water...and there's still cars driving along it!!?!

Nice and sunny down here in Sussex

or here in Brighton

Rum based cocktails here on the Costa del Cogan.

It was a fairly dull and uneventful race, not many highlights

Thats F1 ZZZzzzz - switched off years ago - BTCC ITV4 plus all the support races place to be - stuff Eccleston and his circus.

Wot he said --^ Go to Croft every year and love the full coverage of other tracks

*sings*

Back to life,

Back to reality....

Sandy Bay ?

Prattshayes Farm just round the corner. A National Trust campsite.

Didcot? By the power station? Perhaps it was 'Coka Colas'?

it was about 0945 as i was heading into Didcot from the A34 it was on my left and went round the curve towards Oxford

It was 70803 it returns to Westbury tonight.

Beer in fridge, sorted

Surely beer in ess1uk would be better?

it's going in now

What goes on in Basingstoke....

Where's Basingstoke ?

Turmeric

Thought so, any idea what locos where in the consist?

Would they have been 31601, 33109, 50008, 50015 and 56104? But not nescarily in that order in the consist?

most likely

47804 on the back.

is this 1994 thing with no mobile as good as it sounds?

You must have got loads done without any distractions. Maybe we should all try it occasionally!

Been busy enough at work, but you soon realise how much you rely on the mobile. Home now and normal service has been restored.

I just can't help myself......

What empirical data are you using to arrive at that conclusion, and has it been subject to a peer-review?

SWMBO claims to have proof!

You lucky boy you.

Missed those ....ar*e

I nearly missed them, heard something a bit different and just managed to get half a look out the window to see a Hoover with the Colas 37 bringing up the rear.

Yes don't we

indeed we do...

not a tv star, they couldnt keep up with me!

Et tu, Brute? Et tu?

To nice to be in the "train room"...

too nice to be stuck in the S&T room with loads of noisy equipment and no natural light. Headache all day

Sure you can camp it up nearby?

Cumbria was too. A dismal Summer.

No we had enough and came home Friday 21st when should have been there until the Monday. Now the forecast looks better! Shame as I was looking forward to the dawlish air show. Trying to keep a wet 10 year old amused was no fun.

Panel, but did walk up past central to the cathedral later so closer than you thought!

Yikes!!

When are you next in Devon or Cornwall, then?

I'm here until monday. Saint erth in the morning

Head for the 'bright lights' of Wem! :-)

Here until Friday, leaving is not an option so make the best of it

How about a game of Global Thermonuclear War?

Snap

When the world goes back to using dog-carts; I`m quids-in! :-)

Well I can walk to work, it's downhill so that's O.K.

It's just the bl**dy big hill on the way back that stuffs me.

there is another one on its way though jim!!

look forward to meeting up on sunday ess

You're a few days too late...

nope didn't miss it, see you tommorow Neil
