Them as sez OMG or Oh my God are usually godless anyway.

I guess our parents said very much the same sort of thing about us.

Oh my god, you're like literally out of touch.

...and next on Viz top tips?

Would-be houseflies?? What are they at the moment?

Squashed !

See you in the tertiary subspace manifold!

Nanoo nanoo Shazbat !

Nougat Museum Curator.

EU can't touch this.

LOL

The notes are too high and not quite rounded enough. There's too many of them and they should all be standardised to a uniform pitch.

Congratulations, Grahame - I know you've been excitedly waiting for it!

Well done grandad!

well done now you need to start buying wooden trains

cream on first .....

There is the risk of never again finding your normal imitation pasties palatable

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm pastie

Long since uncoupled from the train of thought.

AH BISTO.

maybe we could crowd fund a 00 model?

Maybe the gentleman who will have the L&B running past his back door would like to swap his house for mine, where he can 'enjoy' the traffic noise day and night.

Nimbys the world over resist change from the status quo existing when they purchased their house.

I could understand the gent not wanting a railway right next to his house. Could there not be a possibility of moving the line a little out of the way?

May all your cab lining wishes come true.

May I add my best wishes for the festive season to one and all on RMWeb

And the compliments of the season to you too Grahame.

Please don't go Martin, though I understand why. And if you do go then I'll see you on the other side....a.k.a the Templot Forum

Achh. Martin always seemed to have the patience of a saint, frequently repeating himself on different threads to try and get his message across. What a shame he's finally felt the need to leave.

sad.

Slap and tickle. Oooooh, Matron!

S'pose a Hippo Bathday is in order too!

You must have deserved it mate

And a great 2016!

Very nice thought Mr. bgman. Yes, every blessing to Andy and Staff for Christmas and into the New year.

Milford Haven.

John Dory.

---FIN---

Wasp crackers and spam mmmm

Followed by a tin of Oskars Surstromming....eaten outside!

With casu marzu?

Reminds me of the story of Pierre, the famous French WW1 flying ace, who when he went down, went down in flames!!

Is there a crumpet shop in Flams ?

Nice weather isn't it?

Oh! What I wouldn't give to be spitted at in the face !

They have brought forth juniper berries!

My sight is poor, my legs are old and bent.........

Ere, what about this. why don’t you get a saddle tank and outside frames for it?

It would look good as an outside framed saddle tank.

Maybe an outside framed tank and a saddle conversion kit?

See lyrics for DDR national anthem.

So you've united the body with a re-worked chissis im guessing ? Unification

**chassis**

Don't forget the knotted head handkerchief and of course paisley socks and sock suspenders. Anything less would be unthinkable.

Send us a piccy when you are there - please don't!

Don’t forget your bling while you’re at it!

For anyone on the naughty step they can have some of Charlie's Duchy biscuits, they're just about the worst biscuit I have ever encountered. I think they may have been laser-cut MDF.

Shortbread and Chocolate Chip...

I've been told they do some decent cookies in the German discount supermarkets - and you don't need to imagine what they might "virtually" taste of.

I did loves it, especially as I had a band in front of me and announcing my presence all the way down Milsom Street on my way back.

Was it an elastic band playing rubber trumpets ?

always

Unobtanium has been developed.

There's been a big breakthrough in time travel. You won't believe what Dapol are finally going to introduce in 2035!

Jeez, Steve. Tony Bliar was doing such a good job too... ;-)

Where did you park your ship or were you dropped off by a Zillon taxi?

Jodrell Bank

Merchant bankers?

The BBC won't be satisfied until they've righted all the wrongs of your childhood memories. Have fun, or defund.

@KDG  I suspect it's just a matter of personal sense of humour. I think the special format is always going to suffer from having to stand alone as a story, which means that the plot has to be relatively simple. At the same time, the audience is probably more 'general' than for a full series - which could incentivise the use of a relatively 'safe' formula, trying to get a few laughs out of people, and hoping that they take enough of a liking to the characters that they come back for the main series. I think this is exactly what yesterday's programme tried to do, but of course if the 'groundhog day' format and slightly bizarre visual humour don't appeal to you then I can see why you wouldn't be interested.

"slightly bizarre visual humour don't appeal to you then I can see why you wouldn't be interested."

As a dyed in the wool Monty Python "enthusiast" then I can normally accept bizarre visual humour but I think this particular programme was so far fetched my senses were getting inflamed to the point of switching off. A remote control device saved my evening and also alerted my to carry on doing something more worthwhile.......modelling.

Whilst I appreciate we are currently facing difficult times I feel sure not only Auntie Beeb and other channels take some of the viewers for granted and will air any old trash / repeats and I for one find it rather insulting.

Now where did I put that bottle of port ? Hic ! 

p.s. The new version of Around the World in 80 Days currently being aired is more in line with what I would expect from a major broadcasting company happily taking my monies.
