      i got an iphone 5s yesterday, the 4G is pretty damn good

      I agree with Nelson and Jim. My new phone should be the 5s as it looks great! I have a Samsung Galazy S 2 currently and its good but is showing its age a little and isn't as reliable. Plus It won't be long until it needs a new battery

  2. Genuinely can't wait for Red Dwarf 11 tonight, worth the long wait hopefully!!

      Wasn't the best episode they've done but I enjoyed it, hopefully it's just first show nerves an all!

  3. Okay, hands up who's calling farce on what happened with the producer?

      not as good as my "Hornby carriage" a few years back for £10, was actually an dcc fitted EMT 153 unit

    4. Swifty11

      Swifty11

      That’s a bargain Jim! Although it’s amazing the things you can find some times!

  7. Watching pointless celebrities and honestly think the most obscure pointless answer is who the celebrities are

      Might have been pointless but one of them did make a couple of mistakes - it was a double slip.

      They were celebrities? I was just happy I knew Soul Plane.

  8. Railway Herald never do cease to amaze me with their reasons for rejecting images, you'd think they had Stevie Wonder in charge of checking them.

      Try the Railway Magazine - they're bound to accept your photos.

    4. Swifty11

      Swifty11

      I don't submit them to the magazine, I just upload them to the site. Funniest part is an image I had rejected from Railway Herald for being incorrectly framed was published in Rail magazine.

  9. Always nice when you see someone has pinched one of my photos and uploaded it as his own! Grrrr.

  10. Brilliant. Had my english speech moved to the same day as my GCSE French speaking test... This will be a good weekend...

      Thanks Captain, monday is going to be a long day and I get a hunch Sunday night may involve limited sleep :/

  11. For the record, there is absolutely no part of me that enjoys English coursework. It's painful.

      I rather enjoy course English and also many of the colourful Anglo-Saxon expressions still in use.

  12. The promise of a BLT makes mock revision better...

      I'd love to be able to mock my work tomorrow... oh hang on, I do most days.

      yep, 6G64, first time I've ever seen RTT give the freight headcode.

    3. Swifty11

      Swifty11

      Yes, all other freight operators except GB have the head codes scrambles but GB have now given them permission. As they don't have too much hazardous cargo whereas DBS/DBS for example do.

      There's just no happiness in the book, their all friends, they all die the end

       

      It's like if there was some hope then itd be good but having done a days revision on it I'm loosing the will as well!

       

      I do understand the point is its wrong and it's the slow erosion of hope but it's not interesting I have to say

      Presumably as parting is such sweet sorrow goes to explain why all us scousers don't say "goodbye", we say "tara"..
