      A tragedy indeed, but we have definitely plenty of gin. Problem is it easily falls out of sequence...a bit like the 'Pimms Conundrum'; you either run out of Pimms or you have run out of lemonade. Disaster!

      You need someone to stand by your shoulder whispering "You don't need that..."

      Sadly the decision was aided and abetted by Mrs Dreyfus...

      Yes, but how many did you eat???

    Was defeated in a game of darts last night by a colleague.  He is registered blind. I'm not very good at darts...

      Probably better than me.

      Let's just say that I'm not particularly good at darts.

    Apparently I am traveling on a 'lean, green, Southern machine'! 377401 has never been so alluring...😁

      377401 is also known as Mary from it's time a couple of years ago when a 7 fell off and it ran around as 37401 (a.k.a Mary Queen of Scots) for a couple of months!

       

      I think it is even written beneath the unit number in one of the cabs.

    Gin, Battenberg cake and 'Clash of the Titans' (the 1981 version obviously!). Not a bad way to finish a day which involved chasing class 313s down by the coast...

  6. Claude_Dreyfus

    Watching 'Amadeus', the Director's  Cut...with extra notes...

      But are they in the right order?  🤪

    Bagpipes, Vampires and Tinsel at Cannon Street tonight. Everything is so confused, we don't know what time of year it is anymore.

      Should have approached a vampire and said, "You are Nosferatu and I claim my £5!"

      Class 33/1s at Cannon Street? But what stock are Vampires and Tinsels?

      This is sad. 40 years ago I would occasionally relieve Fred as SM at Cannon St, and the place was pretty ordered in those days. Busy-as-can-be in the peaks, dead as a dodo in between.

       

      This Privatised railway has a lot to answer for. Sigh.

    Never in the field of human conflict has so much been written about those who so few care so little.

    Bearing in mind Edinburgh is closer to Dusseldorf than some airports flown to by Ryanair are to the city they allegedly serve, perhaps their latest Twitter jest isn't their wisest. "Want to fly to Dusseldorf sir?, Of course, but be aware the airport is actually in the middle of a field somewhere in Belarus..."

    The Master Prognosticator has been at it again. Apparently we're in for an early spring... The oven beckons if the rodent gets it wrong...

  16. Claude_Dreyfus

    Just caught an advert for a new film. Apparently it is 'The Best Film of the Year'. Given we are only in January, it probably doesn't have a lot of competition thus far...

      It's almost as stupid as declaring a film an 'Instant Classic'. I think history will be the judge of that...

    3. Hroth

      Hroth

      But is it a film that you would invest time and money in going to see?

      Hasn't some music type person already been declared the 'Sound of 2019'. I don't get it either.

    Has discovered he is a ferroequinologist. Someone who 'studies the Iron Horse'. Sounds posher than railway enthusiast!

    I heard that it started when a bloke called Archie Duke shot an ostrich 'cause he was hungry.
