  1. Drove my first 323 today at a grand speed of 5mph into the shed at Soho depot

  2. Found it. It was in the bin. That's

  3. has managed 78mpg going out, and 73mpg coming back.

  4. SWMBO not happy with me as I knocked a glass of red wine over the beige carpet last night whilst updating an order to Heljan for more catfish, dogfiish and Class 60's. Anyone want any PM me it might help get me out the dog house

  5. Carriage maybe 30% full. Sat at a table (reserved seat) with one reserved seat opposite, person comes in and sits directly opposite so that neither of us can now stretch our legs, seat adjacent empty. Puzzled look when I slide across to the next seat to ensure legroom. Never underestimate the stupidity of the travelling public.

      Maybe they were disappointed that you didn't want to play footsie....

  6. ..hates doubling the value of my car by filling it up!

  7. The 22 month old twins were introduced to the Vulcan today... and loved it. The girl was waving away despite it sounding like it was ripping the sky apart and the boy simply followed it's every move. I was expecting a screaming fit.

  8. I wonder what the great comedians of the past would make of Keith Lemons brand of 'humour'.

  9. Some ratfink outbid me :(

      Not saying what I was bidding on, just in case the ratfink is on RMWeb and takes offence.....[i learned that lesson the hard way :) ]

  10. I admire the honesty of Templot, when it says it will not fit, it certainly won't . Oh for an extra 10 ft ..... :(

  11. apparently (according to Mrs SG), my axe is not the correct tool to be killing spiders with. I beg to differ. In other news, I used to have a shed.......

  12. Yesterday was a good day. Mrs SG was on stage as a warm up act for the mighty Chesney Hawkes!!!!! Although Mrs SG didn't have a gag-inducing whale exposing herself to the stage during Mrs SGs first song, unlike Mr Hawkes. Poor man. #whatsseencannotbeunseen!

  13. Two screws in a nearly new tyre. Sh1t:(

  14. My computer is ten+ years old. Takes a month of Sundays to start up. Won't let me look at My Pictures. Keeps giving me 'not responding' messages. Do I need a new one ?

      Try starting it up from "Hibernate" mode. And if that doesn't work then beat the hell out of it. And if you do scrap it, either keep the hard drive or smash it up really well. So-called "secure" deletion is anything but...

      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

  16. is saddened that he won't be having G & Ts afloat this eveningt whilst watching the Red Arrows at Dartmouth Regatta. After that awful crash last week 'nanny' has decreed that they can only make two passes along the river instead of the usual spectacular show.

      Sadly, it'll probably screw up the Vulcan's last few displays it'll ever do...

  17. Low gas prices: Filled up in New Jersey yesterday at $1.99 per gallon...

  18. Why is it that when you're sat a table seat on a train, if someone else appears they always sit directly opposite rather than diagonally, thereby ensuring neither of you can stretch your legs. Or is such logic a step too far for the great unwashed?

  19. A scrote has nicked stuff from our neighbour's garden... and now we've noticed stuff missing from ours. Makes me think a garden railway may not be such a great idea after all.

      I recall an antique toy train layout on the Antiques Roadshow - the locos were powered thru' the track with 240vac...

  20. Just finished watching the Titfield Thunderbolt ... is there anything better than the chorus of GW whistles?

  21. Anyone know a good migraine prescription that actually works? I've tried Imigran 50 but it's a waste of space :(

  22. IF I GET ###### VEHICLE SEARCHED ONE MORE ###### TIME ON MY WAY INTO WORK THEN, well, i'll tolerate because i don't have a choice. At least they're doing their job well.
