Sir, the men are fallen in, would you care to cast an eye over them?

May I be excused?

Permission to speak?..

Some councils promote the idea of "ratting" on antisocial dog walkers, could be going on in the district. Depending on the appearance of owner/breed of dog, I'd have got my phone out and pretended to take a picture....

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

Worse still are the owners who put the deposit in alittle plastic bag then leave it hanging on a tree or bush.

And frequently "mis-speaks" then retracts the announcement about the announcment.

We don't get them from Virgin....

Bachmann announcing the release of the ScR foursome as a pack, it being available next week...

Try telling Quasimodo that !

That sounds appealing

Doubleplusgood!

....it's raining,

Raining in my heart...

I did think exactly that when listening, Portillo was also a good one

Well it was NOT written with railway terminology in mind - 'Here is a steam engine inside a steam train' - and it asked me to explain why the pressure increased with the temperature, calculate the pressure in the piston using P= F/A, the energy transfer in the firebox. Needless to say if I don't get full marks in that question that'll be very embarrassing!

Good, hope it went well. What paper was that? On my P3 paper last year there was a question about using a model of a train to work out the tilt needed for a high speed train. If you are so inclined, there are many more train questions at A level physics.

It was an Edexcel paper, and the last question in the exam.

if only the trains were any good... A3s and A4s, Castles and Kings

Yes, a King/Castle over one of those IEP thingies any day.

Well the post refurb 225s are Mallards and the 255 HSTs are Castles

Come friendly bombs....

Engineering works around Wembley, replacement bus from Slough ?

I wonder why NR didn't plan the engineering works for this weekend instead of two weeks back?

'MeteoGroup' just don't seem to be as accurate as the Met office plus their graphics are poor.

I find the xcweather.co.uk site to be reasonably good. Remember, meteorology is still very much an 'inexact science'

The weather map that MeteoGroup uses for NW England is a satellite image taken at low tide, so the coastal outlines are totally unrecognisable.

They've not got a clue!

Its their office junior at it again....

well, it DOES have 3 axles!

Its the only way to get 00 one to pull a decent load

SOS... --- ...

Dancing Queen

Super Duper

Dunno but it's been glorious weather today compared to the snow last month.

Its foggy today. And too, too quiet.....

Are you saying Andy York is responsible for the good weather ? He's a bit late with it....

Worrying....

Good omen, then?

Ealing Crash? I remember passing the aftermath, n y my way to stay with my aunt for xmas and seeing 1007 on its side

Magic, our Maurice. R.I.P. Bill Maynard.

The world has lost another star. Rest in peace Bill.

The Gaffer.

Strange, I'm in YO62 as well and the power was cut for over four hours, but it's back on now.

When I were a lad, we didn't even 'ave power, never mind them fancy "power cuts"!

You were lucky

In most civilised nations, the skirl of the bagpipes is viewed in much the same way as waterboarding.

...or strangling cats

Apart from the crowds of luvvies on their summer holidays, its one of the reasons NOT to visit Edinburgh during Festival season. There's a bagpiper on every street corner...

Good job I'm currently teaching myself about pre-grouping locos: their designers are all dead already!

Not normally Horse, and I was actually notified of his death by the teacher of the lesson. Bayliss wasn't one of your clients was he?

No. I imagine his Estate wouldn't be as large as it could have been. Shame really.

Congrats!

I'm currently a GWR Bulldog (Vulcan)...

good luck!!

Thanks gents. That would be a coincidence if I'm sitting your old papers Cal!

It was me last year (doing the real ones) they usually use last years real papers because they withhold the mark scemes for that set of papers so you can’t find them online. I assume we have some exam boards in common so I wouldn’t be surprised if you are doing one I did. Good luck

Didn't realise Hattons were selling cake boxes now !

Made coal sacks? Tissue paper, pva glue and some black paint should solve the problem!

or Milliput

You're lucky.

So far, this has been the worst (weather-wise) day of the year.

And yes, my pint is half empty and draining fast!

Touched 40C here today. I'll agree with that.

Santa is unlikely to bring an EP for the 158, or even CADs...
