  5. Well just won a tenner on correctly guessing the ethnicity of the publicly auditioned Top Gear presenter. In fact the whole line up is so ethnically diverse it's Auntie gone mad!

  7. Back home from a week on the Broads. Nice to see some DRS loco hauled action this time around instead of the usual 153/156s

      So that's where all the blue engines have gone, walked out of the office in Worcester yesterday to see a network rail train with a br green 37 at on end and a colas one at the other

  8. Just leafed through the free copy of the Beano that came free in a newspaper today. Apart from being far more believable than the paper in which it arrived the words "fart" and "bum" seem to have crept in since I last purchased a copy ...which was when adverts started appearing in it. Harumph etc.....

      I hope they still 'chortle' after a memorable fart...

      A layout is surely never done, especially when you have friends willing to unpick bits of it to re-do!
