I'm only surprised that they didn't offer him a season ticket.

And another interview next week

Good luck

Dress up as Santa and get in a fight.

Surprised it took you that long to get round the shops unless there is a good model shop, in which case, why did you leave it?

Walk along the river towards Welshpool. On the edge of town is a Shropshire Union Canal and Railway co. sign in surprisingly good nick.

Just wish I'd heard of more of the contestants. Tim Vine and Lisa Tarbuck should be pleasantly bonkers. Russell Howard will be vaguely amusing and annoying at the same time, but I've never heard of the other two

You must have been over qualified Jim

Pendolonely driving must be a step down from driving BR diesels surely...

A few from TPE have joined VT Preston very recently

Pick a cliche:

take the rough with the smooth / life's ups and downs / into each life some rain must fall

or dont listen to those who havent got a clue

Fair point.

no signals either

Fields flooded hereabout plus very high tides, so two possible factors on the Cambrian.

Rotten sleepers and missing keys evident at Morfa Mawdach this week. Time Network Rail got on with renovating the bridge.

No he lost

It was a classic but so cringeworthy, everyone willed him to lose I recon!

I normally listen to it but missed it yesterday.

'Bout time that route had an upgrade!

The Book of Mormon?

Plough

My old form teacher was called Mr. Plow. A while ago he was found not guilty of grooming....

One of Mr H Simpson's alter egos

i think the break has done me good, gonna feel fresh all over again and this time i have my eldest with me to enjoy it too, then friday its off to see 'eugenius' which is a new show on a short run which has been getting rave reviews

Is it a sing-a-long performance?

Is it really that long Jim? Time goes quickly as one ages - they say.

Did you drop your supper

But may be connected with the curry you had the night before.

Honest?

You did...own up....

Well, at least you can go there in a Phaeton.

A sensible one, V6 Diesel, was looking at the V10 but does less mpg than my 3.5 petrol Nissan!

Don't go by Miles per Gallon, go by Smiles per Gallon

They are a LOT of car for the money

She will be the only stella I see tomorrow night

Cue Jimmy Osmond...

Ooh you really know how to treat someone!

If you do get a Phaeton and have to disconnect/reconnect the battery make sure you do it right! http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?5601569-Battery-replacement-procedure

Nice motor - was taken from Munich to the airport in one of those - on a Sunday with little other traffic about on the autobahn. It was very, VERY fast...

Missed it by £49 but not too bothered as I can pick one up from a dealer with 12 month guarantee for only £250 more than it went for on a private sale

Whatever you do don't start havering. They say it makes you blind.

Havering is as near to Essex as you're going to get.

I was going to post a joke about railway layouts not producing the toxic emissions of VW cars then I saw

Horsetans's gag about Havering and burst out laughing.

I think XP should be in the BoD statement above

Trains have windows too!

Last time I was on a train which stopped there it was to detach the assistant engine - which happened to be the last Dukedog in traffic.

I would if I had a job like yours!

Happiness at work is a vastly undervalued concept!

Sounds like the winter blues then.
