Heron today, must be french eat frog's legs. Well whole frog actually: not as in common crossing. Edit:on his second now, tidy chap, rinses them before eating.

Paul, will the point rodding take any stretching? If so it will make it straight and (it looks like metal) make the metal slightly harder and keep its straight. Edit: very slight pull clearly

So, diesel hauled and tracks only running to the tunnel!

Watercannon are being used in cities too. Can we go back to inanity now please? Edit: Sorry Stu, didn't mean you!

A new law was introduced recently (last couple of years, I think) requiring anyone standing for any political role to have an inside toilet before they can stand for office. There is a huge cultural problem in India with people's experience of the western type of toilet, they can be filthy and so are regarded by many Indian people as being less sanitary than their current arrangements. Less than 50% of homes have any form of toilet. It is a major source of embarrassment for the country as well as the health and personal safety issues (eg females being attacked in fields). Off high horse now, my wife and I have been supporting Indian charities for some years, and have visited a refuge for elderly leprosy sufferers in West Bengal.

Hedge sparrow, I always thought they were known as song sparrow? I have heard of a tree sparrow, brown head.

We see lots of dunnock, just very few house sparrows.

Sparrows, you've got Sparrows, WOW. We hardly ever see them.

Fat Snax, the're the ones we use too. Couple of longtails tried to fly through the (closed) window earler, did not hurt themselves fortunately.

Stu, best if you do not look on the Peco thread!

Do not, whatever you do, tell Stubby47.

Do you twisters twist the track too.........just asking

A pair of goldcrests now, never had two together before. What a good day.

Local garden centre for us; a lot cheaper than RSPB, which the birds also like. Greenfinch here now

Did I really say that, 3 siskins here now!

Siskin and redpoll on the nygers with the goldfinches today

Yes, too long. The wood extends beyond the buffers. I do not any rules,but would expect loads to remain within the confines of the wagon body. Difficult to get the load out then, probably a load suited to a flat?

Pinot noir, black humour.

Jamie, I have sent to a PM to clear up a confusion I caused on Thursday for someone you know.

Blimey it's a long time since you were there, 60c litre today apparently.

A gallon of water weighs 10 lbs with 20 floz to the pint. And IIRC the US floz is perversely a different size too. Ed: as above a floz is a volume of water which weighs one ounce. Well OT now what, what. Much more interesting.

4SF+2 might work!

Single rail by any chance?

Are they special Indian colours, different from Rowney's

A scissors/slip/tandem on a curve!!!
