Wow! You admit to polluting the Thames?

One of them being "tea"!

Well, $15 (today's conversion rate) for me and very well worth it as it helps support the forum. That makes it: 1.25 a month 0.29 a week 0.04 a day Probably the second best train forum bargain on the 'net! The first is the OGR* forum at $10 a year. I do both and the enjoyment from them just can not be measured monetarily. *O Gauge Railroading magazine sponsors it. There are at least two of us here on both.

Should be green! BTW, a belated HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Air Vice Marshall Hunt.

The first ship passed through sometime earlier today. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/apr/26/first-ship-baltimore-bridge-collapse

My video preference is the Laserdisc format. I have a Panasonic the plays both side of the disc; at the end of side one, the video "freeze-frames" for a couple of seconds until the pickup mechanism flips to the other side then the video resumes playing. Not very distracting at all and sure easier than getting up to change sides manually.

Maybe. She does get on cat.net when I am not around. She must as my usage increases a bit even when I have everything turned off and disconnected!!

I, too, have a bunch of DeWalt 18v battery tools; so much more convenient, one battery type for six or so tools. And a bunch of WORX 20v outdoor tools, even more convenient, and the same battery for each here also.

Glue gun or alien invasion space ship?

Sorry, but I prefer Eine Klien Nachtmusik.

I set this box down to take out for recycling: The odd thing is that Raindrop has not done this before!

Thank you, I learned a new word today! I have honestly never heard it before. From Merriam - Webster: "Allision is an obsolete word that means the action of dashing against or striking upon, or the running of one ship upon another ship that is stationary."

If looks could kill!

Just what did you open it with?

Hmmm, saw the above in the forum jokes thread yesterday, post by "STRAY".

Night Owl from a rainy Piedmont.

I know very well about one in Baltimore, MD many years ago. TIDE brand soap packets were .........................................

I have NEVER been there!!!!

I remember one (well, part of one) on a stall wall in a rest area on the PA Turnpike that started with the regular doggerel: "Here I sit Broken-hearted Came to **** And only f@rted." The second verse had these two lines plus the two "Dah dah dahs" that I do not remember: "?Dah dah dah Took a chance ?Dah dah dah **** my pants" I think that the first "Dah dah dahs" line may have been something like: "Felt an urge" Anyway I liked it so much that I was going to go out to the bus we were dead-heading back to Cleveland and bring back paper and a pen to copy it down. Either I did not complete the mission or the stall was occupied when I got back and I did not wait around. Unfortunately, rhyming that "urge" has stumped me for years! Note that this was back around 1978 or so and even now the mighty Google has been no help!
