      Personally, I don't care what this one's called - what any of them are called, for that matter.

       

      All forums get these scum - but, when Andy and the Mods find them here, they quickly invite them to leave (with refusal not being an option).

       

      That's good enough for me.

  3. Go Aussie Dollar Go, now above 58p. Good news for UK online retailers!

      After the comments by one of the ratings agencies today the rise of the AUD against the GBP might slow down a little.

  4. Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong under the shade of a coolibah tree. He looked up and what did he see? A knackered out horse trying to pull a "sweet bloody chariot" whose wheels had fallen off! Go you good thing :)

      They get so lonely tho, being away from their loved ones for extended periods of time, sometimes they just need a cuddle!

      LOL, all excellent replies. Wouldn't be cricket without a bit o banter. Only 8 tests to go! ;)

  6. Lovely 2-0 up in the Ashes. No dodgy English weather to help you this time I'm afraid. Who needs sledgeing either when you've Mitchell Johnson to take a sledgehammer to the batting lineup. Bring on Perth!!!!!

      The fast wickets at the WACA will be hell for the batsmen, but they won't be out in the middle for long I fear...

    3. aussiebrfan

      Possibly acidental, put in speculative bid not expecting to win! Earlier today by coicidence bought 4 other Bulleid coaches of a fellow BRMA member for a bargain price! Now got 8!! :)

    4. Mallard60022

      Mallard60022

      Well that's two thirds of the ACE;(but the ACE was made up mainly of coaches other than those made by Baccy!)

      Tim has an external blog - googleing 'Beaminster Road' should help you find it.

      Thankyou for your replies, yes he was a bit feisty at times but the SDJR thread was quite informative and Beaminster Rd promising, shame really, oh well. I see Rmweb as more about the community than the individual anyway!
