  1. Back in the USSR - Beatles (again)
  2. You can't get a man with a gun - Irving Berlin
  3. A "Toad" branded for Cheltenham High St - definitely be getting that.
  4. Beware if you are using those ultrasonic scarer thingies, they have not been proven to work. They operate at 21-23kHz, which can be heard by some humans (especially young ones) so you may find yourself on the receiving end of a noise abatement order if the noise escapes from your garden.
  5. Sister Josephine - Jake Thackray
  6. They haven't met Tilly, if they didn't learn to fear her pdq, they would be dead. Her ancestors were bread to keep vermin down in Maine farms and she has not forgotten the techniques.
  7. My solution to the neighbors rat problem - highly effective:
  8. I'm asleep and don't wake me - T. Carolan (attrib, but probably anon)
  9. Latest one on 3rd Jan http://11foot8.com/partial-penske-peel-at-the-11foot88-bridge/ seems to have done more damage than just taking the paint off.
  10. Are there some stop signals behind the hedge that require two banner repeater signals on this side?
  11. A whacked sign that is totally pointless, there being room to drive a horse or cow round beside the gate, and even if you shut it as requested, the latch doesn't work and there is nothing to stop it opening again!
  12. I wish I were back in Liverpool - The Dubliners
  13. But did they run it past a blind person first? As far as I can make out it actually says "pĺot lounge". The second letter is missing a dot below and to the left which would make it into an "i". As it is, it signifies an accent on the next letter (although you could interpret it as a misalligned symbol for "a") .......
  14. Interesting that its on the SVR, as another location with a banner signal (two, actually) with a finial is WInchcombe on the GWRS, see here: https://depositphotos.com/294436902/stock-photo-winchcombe-gloucestershire-england-august-2019.html They are quite recent (2019, I think) and appear to be a result of mounting the banner signals on the posts previously used by the starter signals when the latter were moved to the other side of the road bridge (that is just speculation on my part, I do not know it for certain).
  15. Save the life of my child - Simon and Garfunkel
  16. Only if you are afraid of a visit from the Rivet Police!
  17. Sumer is icumen in - trad (English Medieval)
  18. Thermal underwear today which might come in handy!
  19. Black is the colour of my true love's hair - trad (Scots, Irish or US, take your pick)
  20. Climb ev'ry Mountain - Rodgers and Hammerstein
  21. Mr Tambourine man - also by The Byrds
