For some good illustrations of the above, try the YouTube channel Just Rolled In.

I bet the politicians wading into this nonsense were fawning all over Stella McCartney's designs for Team GB in 2012 - and she did something very similar.

I'm going with "⦻COND", but I don't think they'd see the funny side.

I worked on the Log Flume in the late 90s. Once he gets the boat home, five arm wrestling types in it should be enough to stop it floating away. Don't ask how I know!

BR sending a class 89, 90, 91, 150/2 and two International coaches to Hamburg in 1988 for an exhibition.

I'm not sure if I stated it on here explicitly, but I predicted that the various unions would give up their industrial action with passengers / the government / other stakeholders being willing and able to hold out indefinitely. It hasn't quite panned out like that!

I've seen a John Lewis advert involving some sort of scary plant. Maybe I wasn't paying attention, but if it's meant to make me want to shop there, no wonder they're in the ****!

In the event of any disruption today, expect the TOC's social media team to be dealing with questions like "how come you've got time to **** around with station names, rather than providing me with a train?" Not worth the trouble, IMHO.

Everything around Musk seems to have a The Day Today-style surrealness to it! "Reactions to the new measures has been strong. So far, we've spoken to Kim Wilde."

Jolly good! That should be just enough to keep the in laws at bay again this winter, given they're petrified of COVID. Every cloud...

Glencote Caravan Park at Cheddleton is a few minutes' walk from the station on the Churnet Valley Railway, and right next to the line, too!

At the risk of sounding cynical, keeping things off the books?

Quite. For a business, accepting cash is almost always a downside: risk of theft / skimming, vulnerability to counterfeit notes, vulnerability to scam artists ("no, I gave you a twenty"), arguments about the wrong change, time spent counting it up, time spent paying into a bank, etc.

Quite. It's awful that people simply trying to buy a home are in this position, but it's the result of various governments trying to kick the debt can down the road ad infinitum. At some point, the music stops and there aren't enough chairs!

Who'd have thought that several years of emergency, near zero interest rates would result in this :rolleyes:

"Tonight's top story: Boris Johnson deliberately misled Parliament. Also tonight, Pope confirmed Catholic."

That honours list is corrupt. If I was leader of any opposition party, I'd just refuse to recognise any of the awards given in it.

But that's how it's supposed to work. All lanes should be used right up until the merge point, then you merge in turn. Hence the appearance in recent years of signage saying "use both lanes".

How odd. I was on the trackbed of the Oakamoor - Alton section on that day and the only traces of snow were in some nearby fields. I guess it shows just how different weather conditions can be in a small geographical area.

I suspected this would be the outcome. The BBC would probably have been taken to the cleaners if it had gone legal.
