      Watching the ceremony on BBC1. On the Red Button it can be seen without commentator babble.

       

      Well worth it.

      I was in Newcastle today for the service there - that was very moving.

      This time last year we were at the small, but moving ceremony in Ivybridge Town Centre. This year we were in 'A&E' in our local Minor Injuries Unit.

      ... by using a distinctive word? - I always thought it was "distinctiveness"

    is miffed that it was necessary to put the heating on this morning for the first time this winter.

      I am currently thinking about swopping my string vest for a thermal one ! ;)

      I remember when Goose grease and newspaper was the thermal vest of (no) choice!

    is disappointed that a bet wasn't put on Persuasive at Ascot today ridden by Frankie at 8-1

      There has been no supply of Parsnips for a couple of years at least.

    Very warm and breezy+ here on the sunny Devon Riviera. Strange burning smell in Cornwall, Plymouth and North Devon with very odd skies. http://www.plymouthherald.co.uk/news/plymouth-news/burning-smell-strange-skies-reported-631827

      'Burning smell' reported as smoke from wild fires in Portugal, brought on the wind by Ophelia.

    is pleased to report that the lavatory paper dispenser was well filled and in full working order on both the up and down journeys on a Vomiter today.

      You mean you actually had trains running on your part of the GWML, how quaint.

      All tat means is there's more than adequate opportunity to block the apparatus...

      Indeed Mike. The entertainment was the sporadic masts east of Parkway, nothing at all at BPW and full wiring in the distance westwards. What larks!

  9. Re6/6

    has gone all Great Eastern.

    1. Captain Kernow

      That's east of Tiverton, isn't it ?

  10. Re6/6

    is thoroughly pi**ed off by combative keyboard oiks that have caused the 'MRJ - Looking back at the early ones (for the first time)' thread to be locked. This was an interesting thread looking back at modelling methods that have changed over the years amongst other things. It would be hoped that any future MRJ threads do not degenerate into objectionable posting. The magazine , with all its rights,wrongs and errors is still a venerable publication that many of us on here enjoy.

      Hate to say it, but a large percentage of threads on RMWEB these days descend into keyboard warrior tittle tattle.

    has just listened to 'pop master' on R2 and the winner was a Mr David Lane of Aylesbury. Was it our own 'David Bigcheeseplant'?

      And if you work out where to look you will even find a couple of pics of him on the 'net while playing his uke ;)

    is pleased that it looks like a relatively dry day after yesterday's 50mm of non-stop rain.

    is mightily relieved that the Jeep has sailed through its MOT....sigh...!

      Coincidentally, so did my Yamaha 850. 3rd MOT this month.

    was pleased to hear a top BBC executive director squirm (and not answering the question) after being grilled by a PM presenter (one of the lower paid ones!) re- the pay disclosures...but...pot...kettle...black...!

    regrets that a train journey to Lower Vowchurch was never made.

      I think there are many train journeys we'd loved to have made on reflection. Let's make the most of what we've still got!

    2. Captain Kernow

      Captain Kernow

      The really interesting journey, however, would have been that from Lower Vowchurch to Churchwater Rise on the narrow gauge.

      I have the book. It must be true.

    enjoyed watching the film 'Kon-Tiki' last night. A 'model' of it was the first thing that was built at 6 years old. It all started from that!

    1. bgman

      Missed that, ironically though I too made a model in my younger years from balsa.

    2. The Stationmaster

      Very good film I thought although I wondered if any of it was over dramatised (the shark bit?)

    3. Mallard60022

      Mallard60022

      I saw the original documentary I think it was?

    loved seeing Barry Gibb. All those songs that he and his brothers wrote for so many greats. Takes me back 40 years. #smilesandfeelinggood.

    thought that the Foo Fighters set last night was just the best, particularly the Queen stuff. Great entertainment.

      Agreed; thoroughly enjoyed it.

    is sad that the heat has gone (with due deference to CK!) but is looking forward to Pimms o'clock. The IEP looked smart this morning at Totnes.

      Hurray for Devon!

      Sadly going to struggle to get hold of a Devon pasty (or a decent scone for that matter) in rural Gloucestershire though

      I have always considered that pasties were an English dish.

      To widen the argument, food historians claim the haggis was in English cookbooks 130 years before appearing in Scotland. Now we have another army heading south to Derby (again)

  24. Re6/6

    Bloody B & Q. What an abysmal service they provide. A £200+ order has been cancelled despite being informed that it was available. Over an hour trying to get onto their 'customer service' + order checking site not responding. What a waste of space. Someone else will now get the order.
