      Scorchio in Mancunia! Unfortunately it was cold, lowering and grey here in Cornubia. I weird reversal of the expected norm!

  2. Mr.Zarniwoop is on an intergalactic cruise in his office.

      That explains the Frogstar Scouts then....

  3. The title of Elton John's 1971 album 'Madman Across The Water' seems curiously appropriate at present; whether you live over here or over there!

      Indeed. Some British politicians seem intent on following their own 'yellow brick road' too...

  4. Himalayan Balsam becoming rampant on NR's carefully untended linesides.

      Does it keep the buddlea under control?

  5. Seems that the Shapeways site didn't like my Explorer browser. Tried Chrome and no problem. Weird. Never had that happen before!

      I believe Shapeways will over-print objects with a metal coating too - errr, chrome or otherwise ;-)

      A philatelist?

  8. When did "may I help you" become "are you alright there"?

    1. Bon Accord

      Bon Accord

      It probably started on Merseyside. "You alright derrrr laaaa?" etc.

  9. Reading 'Britain's New Railway' (1966). You can tell it is 1966 because Mr.Nock refers to problems and not challenges ;-)

      How quaint. Does he offer any 'solutions'? Or maybe just a good dollop of common sense.

  10. Aaaarrrgh! 25 page HS2 special in RAIL. Please, give it a rest :-(

    1. Horsetan

      Horsetan

      Couple be worse. You could be reading about Diana in The Daily Excess....

  11. Re-reading 'British Rail after Beeching' after ?? years. Contemporary (1966) history.

    1. Phil Copleston

      Phil Copleston

      It's probably just as contemporary now!

  12. Recommend Brown & Green cafe at beautifully restored Crystal Palace station. And they play Simon & Garfunkel for old fogies like me:-)

    1. Phil Copleston

      Phil Copleston

      You are NOT an 'old fogie', m'lad!

  13. Has spent the afternoon on Templot

  14. Rams cafe, Gravesend :-)

  15. "A problem with the webpage caused Internet Explorer to close and reopen the tab" Grrr. . .

  16. Charlie Adam sent off for a stamp - he is 'that sort of player' . . .

  17. Off to the IRRS meeting this afternoon. I do like listening to Oliver Doyle.

  18. Always find 'Anonymous user' a bit creepy. Just slipped in around the back, hiding behind the sofa and just keeping an eye on things. Shudder . . .

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

  20. "Killer freeze grips Britain" shouts the Express. Never knowingly understated . . .

  21. Off to the Irish Embassy for the IRRS 70th anniversary event. I may also ask for political asylum ;-)

  22. Himalayan Balsam becoming rampant on NR's carefully untended linesides.

  23. SC and TC London Euston to Workington Main
