... but I bet it's still warmer rain that the stuff we've got up here.

I concur Jon !-)

Are we talking a major evacuation without using colonic irrigation? Either that or the lentil curry was a bit hot last night!

LoL - its a line from Big Wednesday...THE best movie Mark...John Milius of Apocalypse Now fame....the quintessential surf movie...

It's the emergence to day in the small room that will tell.

Stand clear the jet pipe!

Refresher Squashies here.

You need to take them to the Alexandra Stadium... that is, when we're not at Wembley!

I actually noticed that on the forecast this morning. Difficult to imagine for those of us for whom bcn is associated with the cliche of endless sunshine!

Just my luck too...suffering the cold in London all week and it snows when I returned seeking warmth!

Is knackered in Spain, the UK, or somewhere over mid-France ?

Now at East Croydon awaiting a train crew...

Hi Pete, Looking forward to the update!

Sounds like just a perfect day

Well...have had to go back a few steps to go forward...but making some headway...

you old romantic

Yep, got some white stuff down in Sussex too!

Let there be more.

3 inches of slush!

Not really a fan of his politics but MP is quite entertaining in that role - am learning lots about GB too which is great! Might try and buy the original book as well...

agreed, there's something genuine about his manner which shows his interest in the subjects (not just railway). plenty of modern repros of the book available pete

Always interesting to see ex (or even current) politicians on non-political programmes. irrespective of party or politics. In all the rough and tumble of politics, it's easy to forget they're human beings too!

Calling Stubby ... Calling Stubby ...

Someone's mentioned curry - your services may be needed!

Mmmm, curry.

Ooh.

Happy New Year to you to sir.....

Hope 2013 is a good one

The family have left, leaving several unfinished bottles of wine. What to do?

the secret being, married to a Parisian but living in Spain...don't do 'trad turkey + trimmings' in our house...which is why I hoovered up all the Pret/Eat Christmas sarnies before...

:-)

I somehow managed to wrap my hand up with a present last year. Thank goodness I didn't do it this year.

All done...am better at undoing them though!

At least you managed to buy some to wrap... Ooops!

Looking forward to seeing an update soon. Hope the new job is going well mate.

Best wishes Pete, hope all is well with you and the new job. Looking forward to an update.

Thanks all fellas...

Make sure and get on the right plane lols !!

He might stumble onto the right plane....but will his luggage?

Thanks all...hand luggage...so if that gets on the wronng plane...so am I!

Fine thanks Steve...its good to be busy again...

At least when you get onto your next layout it can be larger than hand luggage!

Thankfully yes!

Birmingham Canal Navigation?

B--C----N-

Bar Celo Na ? - sounds like a nice place to sip something long & cool...

Fancy a pint?

How was the first week ?

Mad dash for plane home Pix...

Good first week thanks Stu...now back for some family time...

It`s a volte-farce! :-)

In reality....I have a theory about why it is shorting...needs testing tomorrow...drawing board on standby if not :-P

because they're quicker than long ones?

Speedy shorting?

Are you coming back to Blighty?

Good luck with the new challenges; both work and not-so-easyjet sourced. Ther's always Bombay Sapphire or equivalent at the end of each trip ;-)

@Steve - Sort of...have a job which I start Monday and am commuting LGW to BCN weekly..I'll update my blog this weekend with a bit more....

@ Jon - Thanks - I normally have a Bombay and Tonic during every trip so no worries on that one!
