      Good news is with the loss

      Oh I think I know where the budgets going - anyone not seen the news, ex Footballer Dion Dublin joins the BBCs Homes Under The Hammer. You couldn't make it up with the BBC anymore.

      Biggest mistake ever. He brought that show from the brink to being the best motoring show on the planet. I have no doubt other tv network will be offering mega buck to the three for a new motoring show. It's dead cert ratings.

  3. This signalling assignment for uni has fried my brain.

  4. Need to remember not to inhale when opening a bottle of butanone.

      ....or smoke a fag...

  5. Very unpleasant scenes in Glasgow, always the worst time of year too.

      Quite awful; feel so sorry for anyone affected by that, particularly at this time of year.

      Indeed, reports suggesting numbers could well reach double figures. Very sad for all involved.

  6. Just seen the Sainsbury's Christmas advert for the first time. How very poignant

      I've seen it for the first time too. And, JJG - it was produced with the Royal British Legion.

      Even so, even if it was produced with the support of the RBL, I'm still not convinced that it is in the best taste to use such an event for commercial benefit.

      Lets hope that Sainsbury's paid a lot of money to the RBL

  7. Back home from uni in Sheffield and it's colder in Swindon!

      you obviously dont live in the Western Highlands of Sheffield :D

  8. some **** decided it was a good idea to drift out of their lane and smash into my wing mirror. Goodbye wing mirror and some obscene amount of money. Not impressed.

  9. The floor of a cross country 220/221 really isn't that comfortable

      Well, they do provide seats too... :-P

      Sorry, that was in poor taste, have you tried the lavatory?

  10. Tip of the day - Scapel blades are sharp!

      How do you get rid of he aones you have managed to use (properly!) but are now blunt? Our local chemist has a "Sharps" bin which I'm hoping to use tomorrow.

      It's worth it just for the looks !

  11. Oh the joys of shoving timbers in Templot...

      What did the poor programme do to you to merit such treatment? oO

  12. Major delays between Reading and London due to a signalling failure, currently estimated delay of 90mins and likely to increase.

    1. Michael Woolford

      Now down to 30mins

      Glad I chose the Windsor line train this afternoon!

      is this on your layout?

  13. On the way to Silverstone

  14. Some scum had the cheek to remove the screws on the shed to break in! I bet they weren't expecting to see all of the bikes heavily secured as they've gone away empty handed.

  15. Oops, a new guitar is on its way and I'm down another

      You can spend unthinkable amounts on guitars. High end Gibson Les Pauls are

      Big money there, hope you enjoy your new purchase.

      Please don

  16. Bought my first car today, servicing and some touch ups before I pick it up next week :D

  17. One of my wisdom teeth is starting to come through. I hope it doesn't cause any problems. Having two teeth taken out for braces was bad enough with the amount of bleeding.

      Dental term is 'erupting' - for good reason! But keep 'em clean and you should be fine :-)

  18. Night shift at Doncaster cancelled so I managed a good day at Bracknell. Train Home then beer.

  19. Went to see D1015 today and messed it up trying to sort out my camera, and only saw it in the distance and then right in my face. Then I just missed 5043 as it was running several minutes early! There's always another opportunity I suppose.

  20. Today's enjoyment came from seeing 34046 Braunton through Swindon twice.

      Got to see her at Chippenham on the return run.

      Indeed, lucky you

  21. Why do people feel the need to p*ss all over the floor and the toilet at college? It's not as if that's what you would do at home so why here? Unplesant, filthy animals. If you want to live in your own mess fine, but don't bring that here and expect others to put up with your filth, it's discusting.

      Welcome to the sadly real world and of course it is not just students at College guilty of this disgusting behaviour.

      Indeed, p1ssing all over the floor seems to be a national pastime enjoyed by both males and females.

  22. Ayrton Senna would have been 54 today. Happy birthday Ayrton

      'Like'. Happy birthday Ayrton

      And to think that the 1st May will mark 20 years since we lost him. I was never around to see him race but every time I see footage of him or even a picture I get goosebumps.

      20 years already? That makes me feel old, I remember watching the crash on tv when it happened......a sad day.

  23. This weather is not pleasant, fell over outside the station and knocked the wind out of me, broken watch (thankfully insured) and some bruising. A couple of pints in the pub, much better! Get the feeling I could be sore tomorrow.

    1. Mickey

      Mickey

      i normally fall over after the pub!

  24. Getting knocked off my bike by someone else's bike sliding across the road isn't the best thing to happen on a cold, icy morning :(

      Nasty; my advice: get it checked! Any impact can cause problems later on if something gets missed...
