    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.

    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..."

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

    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...

    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.

  9. Claude_Dreyfus

    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...

  10. Claude_Dreyfus

    I only went into Lidl for some tonic water...

      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...

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

    1. Huw Griffiths

      Huw Griffiths

      Probably better than me.

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

    ...and leaving the Sewing Bee this week is.....the Judge! What the $!@# was she wearing?!

  17. Claude_Dreyfus

    "I was like; he was like; they were like; she was like; it was like..." AAAGH! If the word 'like' was struck from the lexicon, some people would have nothing to say!

      Interstingly, the 'original' geordy use of like was not annoying at all, like.

      Claude_Dreyfus

      Only the 1. But a nice sound-track nonetheless.
