How about cheeseburgers? Asking for a friend. We always buy 1st class when available. Not so much to give the railway more money, but because my wife has delusions of grandeur

Rumour has it that HMS Belfast's guns are aimed at that site. So there's a nautical link

Me! And I was really doing quite well in understanding it. Until the point I realised it was quantum mechanics at which point my brain imploded and the slight rocking motion and dribbling commenced.

Lineside photographers who don't buy a ticket?

My colleague runs a small business with hosting, building websites etc. I believe most sites he has done uses Wordpress - my limited experience with websites is that Wordpress is quite easy to use, but there are of course other options. https://www.digibulb.co.uk/

As the closest thing we have a head of IT I totally agree with both points, but particularly number 2.

I'm sure the seller is trying to make it clear but what a mess this ad is https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LNER-luggage-coach-cooper-craft-kit-00-gauge-built-ideal-Hornby-railways/124610361905

I've seen it before when I inadvertently tried to buy something from a seller I had had to make a claim from previously - so I assumed they had blocked me as a buyer.

They had me sold with the inclusion of a horny owners manual.

Surely you mean press button B(uy)? Don't know why I'm excited - I don't need any 24s or 25s. I think it's because I like to see models of this quality being produced.

It's had that before. Last time I asked for info on kits I mentioned it - no reply to my email but a day or two later the site was back up.

C'est la lyric "Lumberjack song"

I've had the email saying I need to enter my banking details.

The Midland sounds similar to the GER method.

Anyone want to own up to being the flatulent elm from Ruislip?

This is a tough one for me as I've not visited all that many in recent years, but Pickering is lovely. Sheffield park is nice as well.

Eh? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lima-Class-55007-Great-Eastern/114671282400?hash=item1ab2f0e8e0:g:mBMAAOSw1JhgH68z

Seconded - fantastic resource. Probably about time I put another fiver over the amount I use it!

We went on the Bluebell in 2019 and loved it. Having bullhead in the station areas and (relatively) easy to maintain flat bottomed elsewhere did not detract from the experience at all. The Bluebell is in good hands (although I still think their "steam only" was a good draw but that's a whole other can of worms!). Keep up the good work.

Just means it's out of stock and they are lazy - instead of removing the listing they price it so high nobody will buy it (or if they are daft enough to, the seller has plenty of budget to find some with!).

Putting an alternator on Morris Minors was a common upgrade. As was arranging a swinging hammer type device on a pull cord aimed at the fuel pump when it would regularly fail!

I have no problem with experts - sometimes you can learn a lot from them. Someone who thinks they know a lot about their given subject but actually don't (I include myself in this!( is NOT an expert. A word has appeared over the last few years which applies to many of these YouTube "stars". Influencer. What a horrible word, but then I suppose you could define an "influencer" in the same way that you would define how a sheepdog works.

I have a parcel coming via DHL. 1 box. It went from Swindon to East Midlands then to Ipswich where it is now on hold due to weather. It needs to come down to Essex. Normally my DHL stuff goes to Heathrown then Gatwick (or vice versa!) then Basildon so no idea why it's gone to Ipswich this time. But it means as a result I don't get it on time. Very irritating.

The N7 is under restoration at the EARM - I think they are hoping to have it done for it's 100th birthday (2024). It's been missed as been out of steam for a while now.
