      I have Google set up as my default search engine in Firefox's search text box. I never see the Google animations because I never see the main Google page... :-)

      I like Duck Duck Go, if only for its name :-)

  2. Jack Wilshere in for a medical at Bournemouth. What could go wrong . . .

      you only needed to ask once but indeed he is. When he's allowed out of the treatment room . . .

      He'll get seasickness...

      At the time when it was rumoured that Sturridge might leave Liverpool for Arsenal, the joke was that he would be a natural fit with Wilshere....in the treatment room.

  3. Just had three nights at Mirystock House, now two nights at The Speech House. Perfect!

      Between the two is speculation the cycle path followes the line it is almost a model rail curve.

      You're back there again (so soon)! Just like a second day at a show, perfect for catching up on those bits of gricing we missed last weekend... :-)

  4. Just travelled on cheerful ex-Centro green/yellow/blue Class 150. Sadly soon to be in funeral Northern purple. What a miserable livery.

      I don't think the colour matters! The unit is miserable.

      Not as miserable as a 142 but even those would seem a little better in a brighter livery.

  5. Looking forward to my first visit to Amberley museum today.

      Toot-toot! Amberley is a delight. Enjoy :)

      Snap-almost! I'm intending to visit on Sunday & very much looking forward to it

  6. Looks like a wet Santa Special at the ELR on Saturday. Same as last year. No change there then . . .

  7. Manchester living down to its reputation as the rain capital of the UK. When will it ever stop?

      Half of Poland has done it the other way round, must like the rain...

      A deluge here in Cornwall while it's scorchio in Manchester...?? Surely that can't be right!

      Manchester reverting to type. Now 4.5 degrees and 100% raining!

      Ahhh, if Mrs L waits long enough maybe she'll see the gabardine mac, cap and bicycle clips come back into fashion...

  12. My grandson is getting a Ninky Nonk train for Christmas. East Coast will have to wait until next year before they get theirs ;-)

      It's the sense of scale that gets to me. Igglepiggle and co seem massive beside the ninky nonk when it drives past the bandstand, yet they seem very small when thy are inside. The Night Garden must really distort space-time!

      Phil's in for re-education. Going to Everton with his Grandad traumatised him.

      Blue was never my fave colour anyway. Although I'm beginning to recover following gentle 'northern' coaching. And women's football is a delightful revelation! :))

  14. Nice to know that Reading and Arsenal don't have the monopoly on comedy defending!

      Oh, I didn't know that Coco the Clown was on the transfer list! :D

  15. Nigel Harris has two obsessions, HS2 and the continuation of the existing franchise process and I'm bored with them. Change the record, Nigel.

      I'd be asking for the same as one of my great great grandfathers was from Sligo... But unfortunately, I don't think that qualifies me :-(
