  2. listening to Richard Strauss' Metamorphosen at an obscenely high volume. The joys of no near neighbours!

      That is on another disk with Also Sprach Zarathustra and the Der Rosenkavalier Waltz Sequence! That will get an airing too sometime soon.

      Tod is my favourite Strauss piece, followed closely by the Alpensinfonie. It's all magic music though! I may have to play some myself later!

      It's a bit like Narrow gauge only a bit bigger!!

       

  4. Overrated and with a hint of over self-importance. Yep, its the singers crucifying Abide with Me in the FA cup final...

      Crucifying is too kind a way of putting it.

    3. BoD

      BoD

      The number of empty 'posh' seats around the tunnel in direct TV view is quite embarrassing too.

    4. andyram

      andyram

      Totally agree! They murdered the National Anthem too!

  5. A Santa hat, box of chocs, a Neil Sedaka CD, Edwina Curry's Diaries 1992-97 and a can of WD40. My secret santa victim is going to hate me!

      Coffee coaster, table leveller, and everyone needs WD-40. Great prezzies.

      Thank God for Poundland!

  6. thought I'd seen it all...until a TV advert this evening for skin and stubble(!) moisturiser; for blokes obviously...

      It might not be for blokes.

      I'll let my wife know

    4. Claude_Dreyfus

      Claude_Dreyfus

      Definitely a bloke using the product in the ad. Can't remember the company though.

  7. Mrs Dreyfus starts a new job today...about a mile from where I work.

      Is that a new type of keyboard?

  9. Another stinker of a journey home...one hour late and counting

      ...followed by SWT delays. 3 hours from ECR to NE Hampshire.

    3. Claude_Dreyfus

      Claude_Dreyfus

      It was indeed Norbury. Total chaos from London Bridge...finally got home 1 and a half hours late. I'm sure it was worse for others though...

    4. JohnDMJ

      JohnDMJ

      One under @ Norbury didn't help tonight, although 17:06 out of Ford seemed OK. Barnham was reporting the incident and delays!

       

      10-825 allocated, just need to calculate the price!

  11. wonders if Southern are issuing their Managers with flak jackets in preparation for tomorrow morning's 'Meet the Manager' day at London Bridge...

    1. John M Upton

      John M Upton

      Always used to be great entertainment watching a Meet the Managers session as you would see a wave of commuters suddenly en masse change direction mid concourse like a shoal of fish and head straight for them in a stampede!

    2. Captain Kernow

      Captain Kernow

      I used to do this at Plymouth from time to time, with FGW, but only if they were buying the bacon sarnies afterwards!

    3. Claude_Dreyfus

      Claude_Dreyfus

      I think they're going to need something stronger than bacon sarnies after running this particular gauntlet!

  12. According to the Evening Standard, next week's ASLEF strike has been 'dramatically' called off. If the announcement was not made in a cape, accompanied by a clap of thunder, I will be sorely disappointed.

    1. Horsetan

      Horsetan

      Was it delivered by Alec Baldwin?

    2. Ian J.

      Ian J.

      You'd need a top hat as well...

      Ballot was binned due to an admin error being discovered which could have opened a door for a legal challenge. It is to be re-run.

  13. Enjoying watching some reassembling on BBC4

    1. DonB

      DonB

      Done with humour too.

      That "split blade" screwdriver should be in every modelmakers toolkit. Might deny the carpet monster some of it's potential captures!

      Never seen one for sale.

    2. The Blue Streak

      The Blue Streak

      If thats the James May series. I Just saw the first of them the other day here in Oz. It's brilliant

    3. DonB

      DonB

      Don't think that there will be a follow-on series.

  14. This latest Internet 'sensation' has put me in a quandary. Am I going white, or am I going bald?!

      White is right - a sign of maturity (spme say of other things).

  16. Presented with a 'Decision Paper' today at work. One fairly fundamental issue..it did not contain a single decision! #weaselwords #coveringonesarse

      Someone decided to put that out?

    1. Claude_Dreyfus

      Claude_Dreyfus

      Point of order: I like ginger nuts, but not ginger flavoured fig rolls!

  20. I have a stick...I have a nest...there are hornets. Email sent, now time to leg it before the s**tstorm!

    1. Jenny Emily

      If it's a nest out in the open get one of those foam insect nest killers and spray it on - they're quite good.

      Fire is quite effective. Plus if any survive, start flying, and are on fire it makes them even scarier.

  21. yellow shirt, pink tie, beige jacket, grey trousers and burgundy shoes. Obviously my train colleague's wife is on holiday at the moment!

    1. Metr0Land

      Maybe Michael Portillo in civvies?

    3. Claude_Dreyfus

      Perhaps, but the guy is an consultant actuary; hardly a profession known for their cutting edge sense of style!

  22. has been very naughty.

      As my mate explained to me when he had brought his 5th pile of rust home, sorry classic car project, 'It is easier to seek forgiveness than it is permission!'

       

  23. has started a new batch of home-made wine...this time it's Sprout wine!

    1. Horsetan

      Horsetan

      Goes well with beans.

      "North cones" are being hoisted as we speak!

  24. is disappointed to discover his Prawn salad (from a well-known major supermarket) does not contain horse...

    1. pitbull1845

      pitbull1845

      How about sea horse??

    2. beast66606

      beast66606

      Does it list the ingredients ? Is one of them sea biscuit ? ...

    3. Metr0Land

      Metr0Land

      You'll probably find tiger prawns actually contain sea lion
