      Would you prefer the look of utter devastation when they realise they failed?

  2. thinks a supposedly educated broadcaster J Vine does ask some crass questions on his programme. "Should public toilets be replaced by cafes?"

      Makes sense now, I thought he said "Should Public Toilets be replaced by Cats."

  4. Strawberry flavoured grapes? What is the point of that?

      No idea but Coke flavoured apples might get kids to eat fruit.

  5. hates it when you come across a selfish dog walker who doesn't believe he should tidy up after his dog, and then when it's pointed out by a passer by (me) he has the cheek to say, "You're a spy!"

      Its an offence in some places and not others. Cotswold District has a ban but dogs can **** in the gutter with impunity on roads with a 40 MPH + limit in most areas

  7. We had a bit of rain earlier, but it wasn't really enough. It's not raining now.

  8. I passed my driving test over 40 years ago, but just did the online practice theory test - Passed even though I did no revision!!!

      I failed hazard perception until I learned to count to 3 after seeing the hazard before responding. The test is a total waste of time.

  9. Why do some people choose to have bonfires on hot, summer evenings, when decent folk need to have their windows open?

      Its because they are ***** thoughtless ******ds who need a *** **** in the ****s

  10. Wimbledon... All the players who I've taken an irrational dislike to keep winning!

      I can understand why chaps watch young girls prancing around tennis courts in impossibly short skirts, but fail to understand why chaps watch other chaps prancing around tennis courts.

  11. Friday 13th, no wonder the tyre warning light came on.....

  12. Who knew that finding trackplans for a 3x1 layout was so difficult

    1. DCB

      DCB

      You can build a very satisfying layout in 3M X 1M in T scale

  15. I am amazed. The interior of Voyager toilets are now plastered with colourful colour photographs of places served by these trains. The actual facilities are just as excrable to use as ever.

    1. DCB

      DCB

      The less attractive the ambience the less the facilities are used and the less effluent has to be removed from the catch tanks. They really do think of everything.

  16. Just had two bids on items I’m selling on eBay removed with no reason given. Not happy!

    1. DCB

      Better a bid withdrawn than a non payer.

  17. Starting to feel really concerned about driving 45mph on the motorway, far too many near misses recently :/

    1. DCB

      DCB

      I never exceeded 45mph while driving a car before passing my test. Only used top (4th) gear once. Waste of time. Worst thing is having to stop on a Motorway before a n average speed camera because your average speed read out since the last camera is 60 and the limit 50

  18. The worst thing is missing an eBay auction for something you desperately wanted, and it goes for dirt cheap. Gutted!

    1. DCB

      The best feeling on ebay is when there is something really good and you get it for a fantastic low price because NXEA! missed it....

  19. Yodel are due to deliver the replacement track that they bent in two at the first attempt. I await with dread....

  20. Flying Scotsman departs London Victoria, setting off the fire alarms causing a full evacuation of the station. Oops.

      Not Rocket science to have the loco as far up the platform as possible to avoid smoke.

  23. Package of code 75 flexitrack arrived this morning, almost bent in two. Its either the unseaonable warmth over the weekend, or ham-handed Yo#el. But Grrrrr. Lots of Grrrrrrrrr....

    1. DCB

      DCB

      Should have used code 100. But to be fair its not easy to get 25 yards of rack through a letterbox while driving past at 40MPH

  24. Noname Rail regrets to inform that every other train is delayed due to awaiting a member of train crew. Please listen for further announcements.

      When will the TOCs and Network rail bite the bullet and go DCC? That way they won't need any crew. Oops, I hope no Tory MPs are reading this.

  25. Spending far too much time playing trains..... even though all the scenics are still to do.

    1. DCB

      Something not enough people do, they end up with a beautifully scenic diorama which can't be operated sensibly
