  1. I've a decent "audio" system, currently composed of an AT turntable*, a Denon amp and column speakers**. There's also a DAB+/FM tuner, a CD player and a cassette deck. If you sit in the centre of the sofa, you are in the stereo image sweet spot... I daren't turn the volume up too much, though I should try to see how much 18th century organ music next door can tolerate! * Still got my Ortofon FF15E cartridge from the late 70s, still going strong, on its umpteenth "needle". ** Can't remember what they are.
  2. Looks like Bear trying to escape a horde of Zombie Airheads...
  3. I remember a Watneys tv ad showing "terrorists" ineffectually trying to blow up a tanker of Red Barrel... I never drank the stuff!

    Jinty in O gauge

    Rails of Sheffield currently have a supply of them at £125, along with another in a private owner livery and a Terrier, also at 125 quid. Jinty and Terrier offers
  5. Its always been the way. You should see the cluster of speed cameras on the A494 after crossing the border...
  6. Soooooooooooooo..... You won't be able to put it on ebay...... 🤪
  7. Obviously the root of our proud multi-cultural heritage!
  8. They're creeping over the border, there were some Welsh trains parked up at Birkenhead North depot the other day!
  9. Possibly resulting in spontaneous combustion! There's nothing worse than finding a pound of Double Gloucester running out of the bottom when you open the door....
  10. Her brother must have been friends with Terry Scotts brother....
  11. I'm on so many "Lists" that I've forgotten which list that is... 🙃
  12. Not that frequently, though you do mention your shed, which seems to annoy some people... (I've a Garage and a Shed...)
  13. Dream A Little Dream Of Me - Doris Day
  14. Only in the equivalent of a tupperware* box please! Wouldn't want the sockiness to spread to edible items... * Other storage box systems are available.

    EBay madness

    Well. Whoever assembled it in China worked from a kit of parts, and it must contain SOME metal, but yes, I know what you mean! 🤪 Going Cheap? At least they have the courtesy to start the listing at under the original selling price...
  16. Thanks. In as sarcastic a voice as I can manage.... At least you can't see the terrible jumpers he wore!
  17. What goes around comes around...
  18. Paddy McGintys Goat. It ate the note, and despite being stomach pumped, all they got was sixpence... Its a long time since I've heard the song!
  19. I remember seeing a Herald passing a line of parked cars, the offside was comfortably within the centreline of the road. A mumsie SUV following it overhung the line by a couple of feet... The Devil must have had further plans for the bu@@er.
  20. Must admit I've never used this remote-control shopping malarky. There's a Sainsbugs, a MegaTesco, an Asda, an M&S foodhall,, Local Tescos, Aldis and Lidls within a couple of miles and a Morrisons, another large Tescos, another M&S foodhall and another Asda within 5 miles radius. We're rather overserved by local supermarkets! I forgot, there's two more Aldi stores in the 5 mile zone, but one of the 2 mile zone Aldis has gone offline for refurbishment/enlargement...
  21. Yes, he's the sort to buy a Porsche 911 instead, take his new girlfriend out for Sunday lunch somewhere in the countryside to impress her, and wrap the pair of them around a tree on the way back...
  22. You had to ask your co-pilot to put the wipers on? 🤔 🤪
