Why not PM Andrew instead of broadcasting this as a status update.

Sorry Chris but i thought i had sent him a PM, silly me

In Kenny we trust.

Envy, moi?

Cheer up There`s always the Euro`s to look forward to in 2020, provided that we manage to qualify!

I want England to lift that world Cup, i was 7 years old in 66

and all of that paid for by whom exactly?

No idea. Do you know?

A-ha, the 'Dave Jones era' when Cardiff City fans could find Wembley wearing a blindfold. How times change, we're now about to embark upon another Premiership adventure, due to "The Warnock Effect".

Hope it works out Brian, just keep hammering the pension fund.

Congratulations, enjoy your retirement Sir !

Enjoy your retirement and always make sure you have something to do lest others find you something!

living on a modellers budget, me and my wife know it well

A cheese sandwich? We used to dream of tucking into a cheese sandwich!

I've got gravel for my Christmas lunch ...

Now three working Dapol semaphore home signals Boooooo

What is wrong with the fourth one? Have S&T been called out?

Indeed they have, the arm has failed, motor and light is working, the signalman at Gosport is pulling his hair out as I would be doing if I had any !

:-)

Revive the gong. Well won by the way.

Thanks Mallard still celebrating in my local this afternoon !

Gonna arrive sooner than I thought. Yikes!

He's also got his own thread on here as well - http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/113192-signals-in-7mm-4mm-and-2mm-scales/#entry2375715

You could also look around page 812 on 'A Nod to Brent' to see one of his signals in situ on Robin's layout - http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/69664-a-nod-to-brent/page-812

Thank you Captain, I will certainly check this out.

I've still got 2 hours!!!!!

:-(

Lol, that's what I meant Mallard60022

Gosport. Bloody hell. I used to go there a lot to visit immigration detainees at Haslar.

I can asure you I'm not one of em !

It's all rather embarrassing isn't it. I can't stand kissball (largely due to the attitude of the 'fans') but as an Englishman I would like to say well done Wales.

Hi Ian .... another season of optimism beckons !!! that optimistic feeling will be gone by Oct though !! UTS

Duck........behave !

Apologies!! But I am actually a Drake you see.

2-2 eh. away goals count double do they!! Just get Sunday over with so my ticker can return to normal please.

The play offs are shite and only designed to keep Cardiac Arrest Depts in business. It should be top 6 up and bottom six down IMO. That would wake the bu**ers up as would 4 points for an away win, 3 points for a home win, 2 points for a score draw and 1 (as now) for a no score draw.

Can you imagine the carnage in the Championship Premiership if it were 4 up/down? Hilarious and would dent the historic got money will win attitude of the arrogant Clubs.

I agree Duck, the play offs are a complete lottery, its what your team does over the season that counts.

Under BR it was a great job, unfortunately it's not today.

We seem to be drowning under ever increasing numbers of managers and accountants...

Agreed John, the railway has changed for ever and I for one has had enough roll on 8th November 2019

:-D

Are the Pilgrims still sponsored by Ginsters?

They were both long away trips back then.

And a man with a (tenuous) connection to RMWeb as his statue stood guard over last year's RMweb bash at Coventry!

It's now covered in scarves and tributes.RIP Great manager.

To quote Tommy Docherty talking about Jimmy:

"He was probably one of the worst players I

Been a long time since Pompey fans have sung that. PUP

I believe the last time Pompey were top was in the Premiership and that was only for a few hours PUP
