  1. Welcome to Cumbria. Police look after car for some who has taken ill, other officers don't know about it and get the army to blow it up! Mastercard moment http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cumbria-38838653

      I did see an article by someone against nuclear power, and they said radioactive waste was being pulled by old, unreliable locos. Although we know this isn't true, heritage liveries may not convey an image of safety to those concerned about radioactive waste being hauled around the network by 'old' locos.

      Maybe they could repaint the sides of one using a spoof of the old protest badge "Nuclear Power? Yes Please!!"

  5. So last night the local round table reversed Santa's sleigh into a frends car. Now how do you explain that one to the insurance company!

  6. Don't you just love it when you use Google to find something, and what you then find is that a local paper (Northwest evening mail) has used your photo without either asking or giving a credit to you for it!!! Email sent to them....

      They don't tell lies. They are guilty of terminological inexactitudes.

      Some days I feel I can't stop urinating, must be my age I guess...

  10. So it's that time year again. Time to clean the railway workshop room! I've not been in here much and already got 2 bag of #@%# out....

  11. Ok. Who broke the wires on the WCML last night?

  15. BBC News Norfolk... as they discribe the two men that police are looking for in an attempted abduction of an RAF serviceman at RAF Marham "The other is is said to be around the same age but younger than the first suspect" http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-norfolk-36853106

  17. Missing two rolls of parcel tape. The original that turned up as soon as I got a replacement, and the replacement. Don't make me buy a third!

      They're hiding so you get another one. Rolls of parcel tape prefer three's company.

  18. Apparently when "we" go food shopping next time I'm not to walk around Tesco wearing a tee shirt the reads "Keep calm and build model railways" and if I do I need a coat or jumper!

      Funnily enough it was from Chile, and no hangover

      Horsetan

      I dunno what it is about Chilean wines. They always cause hangovers for me. No other country's wine does this.
