  1. So that's 5,000 posts on here; can't work out if that's an achievement or actually quite sad...

      If I've helped others then I'm happy, but some of the gos on here, I do wonder why it's worth the hassle.

  4. Life's very unfair sometimes. In the last couple days we've heard a couple friends could loose their baby and another friend's wife has been diagnosed with Lymphoma after a couple of years of being in remission from cancer. If you get home tonight and have a healthy wife/girlfriend/husband/boyfriend and healthy children, please appreciate how lucky you are.

      Your comments are very thoughtful sadly my wife's friend's baby won't survive. Life is very unfair sometimes.

      In railway terms, Donny is always Doncaster!

       

      It was routed via the single line into Goole, passed on place 16 early then must have just pottered along! Sat at Goole for nearly twenty minutes awaiting his booked time - no fun when it's the last train of the night!
