And David Davies gave us a list of potential candidates for the England job... Gareth Southgate Alan Pardew Arsene Wenger It's obviously reached that 'could do a lot worse than', stage has it ?

No.no, no ! I meant simply that the double ended locos have numbers denoting the version - not denoting the number of cabs !!!

Seems to be the number of driving positions, i.e double ended machines attract the '1','2' etc.. Gmf 242 and 243 have a single driving panel. No doubt our Grischun RhB group friend in Chur, Gion, will know the answer ! https://www.flickr.com/photos/winterschlaf/15712672179/in/dateposted-public/

We just 'dunk' ours in water and drink it.......

Barcelona strolled to a 7-0 victory - hoping to see a match at the Camp Nou next February. Still very warm here and the 'Boys' - our nickname for the RAF Typhoon flyers some five miles west of us - are very active tonight. Energy levels are dropping so 'goodnight all' !

No doubt the good folk of Spilsby, some 8 miles north of us here, will be interested. Sir John's statue adorns the market square of his birthplace. Boiler fuel delivery arrived just now; ordered 700 litres but can only get 451 litres in the tank ! Hope the price is still reasonable as well ! Carry on Summer, please, 'til Christmas and then get warmer......

A great three hours of golf with Son Pete today before he headed back to his usual weekdays of leave home at 6 am, arrive back home at 7 pm. Still, his annual salary would have taken me many years to match. Oh, if you are wondering, I got the Silver Medal...... in the golf.......

Morning all ! Another fine sunny day; that's two in a row ! Highlight of the evening will be the John Wilson Prom which I shall record and watch a few times ! Celebrating the Gershwins, of course, usually part of my medley repertoire with the last distinctly 'middle of the road' band ! Hoping soon to see about replacing two finger joints on my left hand so that the axe, a modded 12-string Strat, can come down from the wall; it has 'Lone Star' HSS pickups and proper modern machine heads. Oh and the younger version of me is visiting this weekend, his family being on hols with his in-laws in their motor caravan. Pete and I will be playing golf tomorrow and no doubt my strict blood sugar diet will lapse a little this evening !

Not suitable for Edinburgh, then ? Where's me coat ?

Yes, the rain has been falling steadily all night, here on the 'drier side of Britain' Luckily I am 'ahead of the game' since I purchased and spread another box of 'Aftercut' yesterday afternoon ! Whether the grass will now turn from brown to green is anyone's guess ........ Summer returns next week...apparently..

Yes, you are quite right....I am bored with the news and went searching on my Facebook twaddle !!

Remind me again, railways - are they those big things where one set of passengers ride above those on the lower deck with a circular staircase at the back ?

Has anyone told Prince Andrew there's a job going in Japan ?

Ah, British agriculture - always keeping its nose in front........sorry, hat, coat, gone...

A few to keep you going then ........ 1.Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me for the path just is narrow. In fact, just b*gg*r off and leave me alone. 2. Sex is like air. It's not important unless you aren't getting any. 3. No one is listening until you fart. 4. Always remember you're unique. Just like everyone else. 5. Never test the depth of the water with both feet. 6. If you think nobody cares whether you're alive or dead, try missing a couple of mortgage payments. 7. Before you criticise someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticise them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes. 8. If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you. 9. Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish, and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day. 10. If you lend someone £20 and never see that person again, it was probably well worth it. I I. If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything. 12. Some days you are the bug; some days you are the windscreen. 13. Don't worry; it only seems kinky the first time. 14' Good judgement comes from bad experience, and most of that comes from bad judgement. 15. A closed mouth gathers no foot. 16. There are two theories to arguing with women. Neither one works. 17. Generally speaking, you aren't learning much when your lips are moving. 18. Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it. 19. We are born naked, wet and hungry, and get slapped on our a*s*; then things just get worse. 20. Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

A pity that Koscielny was booked by Clattenburg for a handball by the Portuguese player. Still that kinda summed up the charade - excuse the French expression.....

I suppose the camera date of 2nd January 2035, just after 11pm, possibly gives us a clue to the fantasy.......? 6 kilos of brass ?

Following the removal of the figure known as 'Mrs White' from the board game 'Cluedo', any matters which are perfectly clear will now be said to be 'there in Very Dark Grey or Pale Beige ....'

Oh Pete ! You have lost the old British sense of irony !! I think if the BBC will kindly produce a map based on comparative wealth, the truth will probably emerge.....

Never mind, George (Anglicised version) is going to flat-line my State Retirement Pension... ...following on from the flat-lining of the extra personal allowance... What did they do with my 45 years of NIC ? Why is my SRP regarded as a 'benefit' ?

Today is the longest day and it is Summer. You can tell it's Summer since the rain is warmer....

I think the clue is in the use of the derivative of 'fantasy'.....

Is this person working for the Royal Mail ? Or just having a giraffe ... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ply-wood-for-scratch-building-coach-Narrow-gauge-sm32-16mm-scale-garden-railway-/272272434839?hash=item3f64b3a697:g:ZscAAOSwwPhWk8o5

I just feel that there's something missing here...... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/O-Gauge-Hornby-Railway-Personnel-Station-Master-in-black-c-1932-/162078127191?hash=item25bc9bf457:g:qzYAAOSw9k5XQBll

DC hopes to see driverless cars within four years... Here in Boston, we see a few 'drink/drivers' who are also fined for having no driving licence, no motor insurance and no car tax... Does this count as 'driverless' ? Can you be a driver if you have never before driven a motor vehicle ?
