It was 9:29....

Not the Six-Five special then?

You know more about Franchises than us. I had seen that coming for years since the enormously successful and wealthy Northern Powerhouse began the take over of the Country. Ey oop lads, we done it at last......next HS3 to Sunderland and Barrow in Furness. XLNT

Remember to disable the keylogger and other things that are 'on' by default in W10...

MarkC, care to enlarge on that?

Certainly. There are various 'apps' built in to W10 which are 'on' by default. One of them is a keylogger, which M$ say is to help with how the OS is used. That's as maybe, but that means that your browsing is all potentially on view at M$, and then there's the security aspect of it, particularly if you do any form of financial activity on line. Scary stuff.

Like to see her change the Right hand main beam bulb on a Rover 420 with aircon, front bumper off...

lol

Unfair advantage small hands. My Holden main head lights due to my Man claws (OK I come in one size BIG) can bearly get it done...40min for the first and 20 for the second!

Rule 13.380. Don't wipe knife between butt cheeks after spreading Geetas hot pickle...

Oh I don't know about that. One must experience everything in this life at least once - including Marmited Marmalade. They do at least share the first 3 letters. I like my Marmite with Peanut Butter. And I like my Peanut Butter with Marmalade. And Jam. And Digestive Biscuits. And Lettuce. I am a man of many tastes.

Sorry I'm strictly a vegemite man. Greatest hangover cure on the planet.

No I didn't.

Mrs Duck on bustitution coming south at the moment as well. Well organised at Donny but chaos elsewhere seemingly

I'm headed south from York on a VTEC train but we've just passed Gainsborough at a quite leisurely pace ....

Enjoyed my crispy duck earlier in York after work. I'm told they are organising bustitution from York to Peterborough but no one knows what time that will start.

Next stop is, allegedly, Newark Northgate.

That's what she said too and she was right, the think was a heap of junk. An E reg and gold. Should have kept hold of the B rdg astra estate instead...

I went out for a walk the other day and came back with half a pound of sausages.

Plantains

A Barry White fan.

Letters straight from my heart

You've got the love...

sitting in a dark room recovering....

Man of your age too!

Man of your age too!

did she go anywhere else? Whenever Mrs O offers to buy railway bits its tied into "other" shopping!!

Well, I did chop up some wood for the fire, lay three more brick courses for the BBQ and tidy up the model rly room.. er..chapel - so I think I was owed a favour. I would check the bottom of the wardrobe (for shoes) but I..er..haven't built it yet (one of the jobs on the 'list')

LOL

It is the best, most impressive, interesting and entertaining station I have ever been to or seen.

Full stop.

I was once blown on Osnabruck station. AWAY obviously, I meant once blown away...

That must've been a memorable job.

Someone set fire to Grantham again?

Fire on a freight train apparently followed by OHLE problems.

Eventually home, 2hrs 20mins late. Ah well, some interesting, alternative mileage. All adds to life's rich pattern...

better get the winter tyres out the garage and on SWMBO's motor then.

Trainshed Terry... in 51A of course!

thermals at the ready for Friday then....

I saw the 2 black 5s passing Moses Gate near Bolton...I was 6.

I'd just realised the significance of today when I saw the date in BRH of my computer screen.

I was 4 Jon - can just about remember it though. I think I might be in the photo that Colin Gifford (of all people!) took of the train crossing the viaduct (he obviously went for a 'people' shot, given the significance of the event).

Sergeant Pepper taught the Band?

oh look in the sky..diamonds!

oh look in the sky..diamonds!

for meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee?

Turns out I've misquoted a misquote(!) The line (from Jasper Carrott) was actually '..has the devil for a sideboard'

whoops!

...that Wham! had their final concert prior to disbanding.

They've been going in and out of style

Very good HN. Yes indeedy...

Alternatively, 30 years ago, Sgt Pepper said 'in ten years time, I'll be saying...'

...... four.....

Thunderbirds are ...

... GO! (for Stafford in a month's time)

For a minute I thought the Allans were coming

One of the best 'Aliens' to be produced.

Yeah, thankfully I never reproduced...

Can't wait to see it!

Pix being taken of each stage. Stand by for a sequence on my thread in due course.

Seconded. Would love to see that.

Congratulations! Carpe diem!!

Is this Le Grande Depart then?

And so is today.

o gauge?

I hope so at that price

Nope, OO! Mind you, it was a double slip, single slip and a three way point! But I have salvaged 25 yards of Peco and numerous 'simple' points from previous layout so that balances things up a bit (Bit of delay in responding - still learning my way round RMWeb and only just spotted your comments!)

Was it good fun?

I saw him, he was speeding.......

He was doing 126 in a 90mph zone...

I know, Hornby's Xmas announcement seems to get earlier each year doesn't it?

Stay calm all will go well. My vitamin D is fuly topped up and ready for layout support tasks!

You can get arrested for flashing !

I just knew someone would... Ok then: '...sped...'!!

Oh noooooooooo I was sleeping.......

careful!
