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

    1. Ian J.

      How about white AND bald...?

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

  2. Claude_Dreyfus

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

    1. Horsetan

      Horsetan

      Someone decided to put that out?

    3. Claude_Dreyfus

      Claude_Dreyfus

      That's even less advanced...

  3. Claude_Dreyfus

    I love wallpapering.

    1. Claude_Dreyfus

      Claude_Dreyfus

      Actually,I'm lying. I hate wallpapering!

    2. Hroth

      Its a governmental pastime, papering over the cracks....

    3. Horsetan

      Horsetan

      ....and watching paint dry?

      Horsetan

      How'd that gobsh*te get on the television?!?

  5. Claude_Dreyfus

    80s fest on Forces TV. Streethawk, followed by Knightrider and thereafter Airwolf...

    My neighbour has just got himself a tattoo. IKB up the back of his right thigh. I asked when Thomas Telford will make an appearance on his left thigh to match...

    1. beast66606

      beast66606

      I shouldn't ask this - but where is IKBs mouth ? !!

    2. Mallard60022

      Mallard60022

      ....also, I am concerned you have been looking at his thioghs.

      LOL

  9. Claude_Dreyfus

    Oh dear. The annual sock audit and related Konmari of the sock drawer, has revealed that I need to go sock shopping this lunchtime.

    1. eastwestdivide

      eastwestdivide

      Had to look up Konmari. Sounds a bit obsessive!

    2. Claude_Dreyfus

      Claude_Dreyfus

      Yes, very. Perhaps it should be 'Konmari lite'... Perhaps asking if socks 'bring you joy' is asking a bit much of such a humble garment.

    3. Ian J.

      Ian J.

      Comfy socks bring me joy :-)

  10. Claude_Dreyfus

    Full Southern timetable today. Hooray! First London Bridge train cancelled at Gatwick, second only 8 coaches instead of 12 and this evening's train will only stop at 4 out of 14 stations due to a camera fault. Just like old times!

    1. Horsetan

      Horsetan

      The more it changes, the more it stays the same....

    2. BoD

      BoD

      Time to break out the strategic reserve.

    3. Claude_Dreyfus

      Claude_Dreyfus

      I think the strategic reserve consists of our missing class 377s. They must be somewhere!

  11. Claude_Dreyfus

    Dear Nuala,

      Don't put the swans with the geese, it will only end in tears and many feathers. Mind you better keep the maids and lords a'leaping apart as well.

      You have scandalised my Mother, you dirty Jezebel!!

  12. Claude_Dreyfus

    I am experiencing the full force of Southern shenanigans, therefore railways are not top of my favourite list; so why am I still getting excited by a box marked Vorsicht Glas from my favourite emporium?

    1. Huw Griffiths

      Huw Griffiths

      Some people might suggest a difference between full sized trains and their model equivalents.

       

      A number of the models have been known to move (allegedly).

       

      Obviously, I can't comment about how many exhibition layouts this applies to … .

    2. vaughan45

      vaughan45

      Love modelling railways, hate trying to travel on them

    3. Huw Griffiths

      Huw Griffiths

      Yup.

  13. Claude_Dreyfus

    Is wondering whether or not to use the crisp new five pound note in his wallet to purchase this packet of veggie sausages...

    1. thaddeus

      thaddeus

      will one be enough?

    2. JDW

      JDW

      A far better idea would be to use it for proper sausages.

    3. Horsetan

      Horsetan

      If it has "AA01" in the serial number, you could flog it for quite a lot on eBay, and buy loads and loads more sausages....

  14. Claude_Dreyfus

    is engaged in a battle of wills with a squirrel...

      You will lose!

    3. Claude_Dreyfus

      So far it's Squirrel - 1: me - 0

  15. Claude_Dreyfus

    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.

  16. Claude_Dreyfus

    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.

    Aaagh! Someone has put Ginger Nuts in the biscuit tin with the fig rolls and chocolate cookies! #pollutedbiscuits

    1. Claude_Dreyfus

      Claude_Dreyfus

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

    2. Tim Dubya

      Shocking behaviour!

    Why do companies feel the need to have people with stupid grins and masses of teeth to advertise their products? "Buy our product and you too can look like a gurning idiot!".

    1. cromptonnut

    2. Horsetan

      Horsetan

      Are they dental products?

      Gurning through a horse collar ? Equestrian R'us !

    Two 90s and two 66s within an hour, plus an excellent Vietnamese restaurant. Highbury and Islington at least has something to recommend it!

    1. SHMD

      SHMD

      pho?

    2. Horsetan

      Horsetan

      There are equally good Vietnamese joints in Hoxton and Shoreditch.

    3. Claude_Dreyfus

      Claude_Dreyfus

      It was indeed Pho. Not too pricey either.

  21. Claude_Dreyfus

    Hooray - Springwatch is back!

    1. Captain Kernow

      Captain Kernow

      Are springs particularly interesting to watch, then? Presumably a long spell of gazing at 'em can pay dividends?

    2. yorkie_pudd

      yorkie_pudd

      Are they left or right-hand coiled springs ?

    3. Claude_Dreyfus

      Claude_Dreyfus

      Oi you lot, don't knock it. Watching springs is considerably more entertaining than a lot of what's on TV.

  22. Claude_Dreyfus

    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

      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.
