British Airways are just so incompetent!

(One for Boris) - am being pulled off by a tug...

A big THANKS for all the good will messages following my HEART ATTACK last Wednesday. Ambulance to Burton, Blues and Twos to Stoke and into Theatre withing 15 minutes. Very close according to Professor Nolan that was called in to do the opp.

Eating chips at 1.10am.

On an IEP from Temple Meads to Paddington, first trip in one. If the Western is getting these things and we're getting their HSTs I know who's come off better in that deal - sterile, cold interiors, average ride and seats only marginally more comfy than a park bench.

Smack the Pony.

Sleeper to Euston tonight and Bristol tomorrowm then northbound sleeper again tomorrow night. First ever trip on the GWML to boot, so time to see what these Western people keep raving about....

In a day full of surprises, a shocking and revealing statement to the media by Captain Kernow's wallet reveals that he is being held under virtual house arrest. 'I don't get out much', said Tarquin the wallet, 'in fact, I can't remember the last time I ever saw the inside of a model shop'. Captain Kernow himself was unavailable for comment today and is reported to have gone into seclusion in order to meditate on the aesthetic merit of a 16XX.

Some on going health issues have meant I've not done any modeling for a few months and most likely wont for the foreseeable future. Sorry for any one I'd promised to do anything for. Steve

is watching someone called "Dollywobbler" resurrect an Invacar. Epic.

The "Rest of the World" are rubbish at Robot Wars. All mouth no trousers.

Trumpeter, Trumpeter, Trumpeter!

Really enjoyed work today, NMT flat out up shap at 100mph (before I had to slow for the 80 at the top)

Just south of Sicily, heading towards Gib. 45-50 knot gusts of wind and a 5 metre swell - the joys of winter in the Med. No modelling possible tonight...

good start to 2018 ..a curry at the Sheesh Mahal, Leeds

So, we effectively had all of the Black Sea to anchor in - and we have managed to snag a wire on our anchor...

Been saving 20p and 50p's all year my bank will only accept 10 bags per visit, going to have to make several trips, don't know if this is the norm with all banks these days.

Sir Andrew York?

Who likes the coconut eclairs in Quality Street?

Hard to believe, one more year and then I'm a Pensioner ! !

A riddle for Christmas. I enter the Green Fortress, I open it with an iron key and let out the black cattle.

Pigs in blankets are flying off the shelves as I speak.

A BIG thank you to Andy and the Mods for looking after us this year.....Exciting threads eh !

It's the most wonderful time of the year, With the kids jingle belling, And everyone telling you be of good cheer, It's the most wonderful time of the year...

Just seen an advertisement on a bus stop saying ‘Live Like The Captain’ ...
