Captain Kernow

It's the thinking man's internal cleaner.

since when did we have thinking men here?

Since I joined. :-)

Althought I do listen to Classic FM, the adverts just before 7am are designed to get me up and into the shower.  I gave up on Radio 3 after the BBC made it impossible to play R3 as an alarm setting on an Echo Dot.

You lot sound like many people did when Rock and Roll first invaded. Music evolves but it must be frustrating for you all  as it has been been for many over the centuries. Just thank your lucky stars you don't live in North Korea or ArSefghanistan where you wouldn't be able to listen to any music other than shite propaganda.

Off to listen to ELO now.

I don't want to start an argument.

However, my musical tastes are rather more flexible than some people might think. In addition to old-school classical music, I've also got CDs of Scott Joplin - Glenn Miller - Eric Coates - Bob Marley - Madness - Dire Straits - plus others.

As for me referencing a comment by Karl Jenkins - that's right, I happen to like some of his music as well.

In other words, I certainly don't take the line of music becoming extinct some time around 1850.

For me, the most important bit about music is that it's got a recognizable tune (preferably one I happen to like). When it was composed is of less consequence to me.

Although I happen to like a lot of music from a couple of centuries back, it's also possible that any real garbage that might have been written then has (thankfully) had plenty of chance to be forgotten.

Unfortunately, this isn't yet true for some of the tuneless ***##!!*** that sometimes continues to pollute Radio 3 - the sort of muck that Howard Goodall (probably known for writing the themes used in "Blackadder" and "The Vicar of Dibley") politely suggested that no sane person in their right mind would choose to listen to.

try typing Horrocksford into Google Earth search and see how far you get

Clitheroe!

Cullompton.

Nahhhh... The Cap'n has seen the pre-Raffs....

As long as it's railway art there will be a place for you in the promised land.

But I've chewed up all of my crayons :-(

SWT?

LNER

The Great Western way and the wrong way . . .

Oh, it had been used, let me assure you... :-O

Bangers and mash? Nice.

Thanks Sandside! Don't think I can face my tea tonight now!... ;-)

Something to do with the Buckfastleigh Sausage Shop maybe?

Push the flush on a Voyager?

Pick up your memory tablets at the pharmacy in Haverford West?

sorry, that should have been :-

I know people who feel happy being right even when theyre wrong, very, very wrong

A remote control might be helpful, thinking of you dragging yourself out of that armchair ...

Done any modelling recently?

Its a bit like 'Modern Image' modelling really. Some 'modernistic' stuff is nearly 100 years old... I likes a bit of avant garde I does...

Tim V - I am sitting at my computer in a different room and the radio is on in the adjacent kitchen. It has no remote control. No, not done any modelling recently, been too busy selling stuff!

@AY Mod It's a smaller jump than you might imagine: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gartell_Light_Railway

You just have to have them buy a slightly larger loco, and then find a way to justify all of those standard gauge things.

The Heljan Beyer-Garratt must be a contender.

@ian incorrect. Discussed. 

Perhaps you should get back to messing around with boats?

Mange Tout, Mon Capitaine. 

Une chance d'un macaron, mon vieux?

A sheep has now made tentative enquires about a macaroon.

A bad luck combination of events, but with the marathon on do they expect BA to “ magic “ non existent hotel rooms ?

BA is now just a subsidiary of IAG. IAG appear to have very low-rent aspiriations.

During the summer, I tried looking forward to a foul, rainy day and was continually disappointed.

Hroth dear heart, your wishes are coming true......................

Never mind tomorrow, I'm still working on yesterday!

Petroleum Jelly. The answer to everything.

But insoluable.

Not in a frying pan. That's Art.

Ta!

Cheers.

Yaks shemash! Gin queer!

Megazine?

Nottabook?

I'd never heard of until now. And now I don't like it either. Whatever it means, it just sounds wrong.

They're just soft bound books. That's it. Nothing else to be said.

Tony Bennett - "I left my heart in Cirencester"

Really Captain, there must be something more important to worry about?

Yes Tim, I was getting worried about not having offered you anything for S4 News of late.

OO Scale - Trago Mills - discerning modeller . .

Oh, c'mon, really, you can't use those phrases together in the same sentence . . .

Model shop, round at the pub. Makes no difference to Tarquinius the moth holder...

How do you get sausages into a wallet?

Certainly not, Horse. Do you?

Just asking, like.

Of course, no problem asking. A pen and paper would help with the layout planning, mind, if potentially a bit soggy.

This weather for airbrushing acyclic paints.

CK. You can take off all that High-Viz personal-protection garb now you know?

Thanks for that suggestion, SHMD. I will certainly give it all due consideration!

Gnawsome!

Don't worry, there will be a different annoying word along sometime. Thankfully, "whatever" seems to have fallen out of use to some degree...

Hamilton Academicals.

Like the rest of us they get fruity !

Typical. Pinapples expecting shop proprietors to proffer chunks of philosophies for free. Give him some custard & a spoon. That's what I say.

Hamilton Academicals.

That should have read "SHE changed profession".

ARgghhhhh. Muffs

"Muffs"..... We don't that about that sort of thing in our house.

what about merkins?

That's such a good comment that you made it twice.

Haricots

Stodge City

Bunfight at the KP Corral

The Magnificent Seven (Sausages)

Only half a helping on Cumberland then?

Always very reassuring to hear you say that.
