I'd ban the use of Curse Of or From Hell in program titles. They are usually an hour of people complaining or hunting for non existant treasure. Stan

Thanks for the information. I noticed it this morning when I was checking to see what was running past me in Paisley. Stan

Can anyone tell me the purpose of this Scotrail service today, running as 2Z26? Apart from reversing at Glasgow Central it doesn't seem to be stopping anywhere. https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:M80014/2023-06-18/detailed#allox_id=0 Stan

Is that how soft scoop ice cream works? Just fill it with more air. Stan

Are there plans afoot to start using the rail connection from Russell transport site near Cardonald? I noticed extensive tree clearance had been taking place when passing the branch line near Cardonald station this week on my way to work. Stan

I saw a solar and a lunar eclipse. I vividly remember the comet in the late 90s. It was very impressive and visible in the sky for quite a while. I also saw a waterspout off the coast of Kardamena on the island of Kos. It was quite a sight but unfortunately I didn't have my camera with me...

There were lots of novelty records that could be on the list. 2 I had were:- Napoleon XIV - They're coming to take me away Mr Murray - Down came the rain. The B side of the Napoleon XIV record was the same as the A side but completely backwards. Even the label was backwards. Stan

I bought a Tesco cook in the bag chicken at Christmas and the cooking instructions were printed on the bottom of the bag. No way back if you put it in the oven, forget the cooking time and want to have a quick glance at the instructions again. Stan

TV with no remote control and if you rented it there was a coin box attached to the back to pay for the monthly rental. Wife/partner/family phoning round all the pubs to find out where you were. Stan

I'd ban people who can't eat in a restaurant without continually clattering their cutlery off the plate like someone sending a message in morse code. A woman eating next to me last week was really grating my rind by doing this so loud that the whole damn place could hear. Stan
