    Any thoughts on Gary Lineker’s tweets?

    He tweets in a personal capacity. He’s not directly employed by the BBC. Best of luck to him. It’s a shame, but very unsurprising that the official opposition doesn’t say much. Not surprising as they’ve rapidly turned into a lukewarm version of the tories.

    Coastal railways with Julie Walters channel 4 sunday

    I’m loving this series. I think it’s great. DarloRich is correct. This is a general interest programme featuring trains. It’s not meant for the rivet counters, it’s an easy going documentary for people slumped on the sofa who like a bit of nostalgia and comedy before they start their working week.

    Costa Express...costalot !!

    Haha. I know what you mean. But as to the price, not being a cynic, but they know at night there's a lot less choice out there and can whack on a premium.

    Public places with playable pianos

    I remember being at Sheffield late last year with Mrs Tubeboy, a couple of chaps were playing the piano, very pleasant it was too.

    Michael Faraday. Boy from a very poor background who made countless Scientific achievements.

    aggressive photographer preserved line

    I went to Bridgnorth on the Silver King railtour. I was genuinely shocked with how rude people were. Blocking seats on the platform and in the bar. Tutting if you asked them could you squeeze past as they and their pals formed wall like structures all over the place. Really put me off going...

    Female Railfans (and why dating is difficult)

    I have never hid the fact I like Railways from girlfriends, if they can't accept you for who you are then.... I have had varied responses from exes, some think it's harmless, others think its a bit different. But like other members have said, if it's one of your hobbies, then that's normal...

    Big fat gypsy weddings

    Re the OP, probably a bit of both. Playing up to the camera and highly selective editing. It comes across as a very hard life for the women, completely subservient to the Men. Disturbing seeing very young girls wanting boob jobs and fake tan. Is that because they really want it, or peer/Male...

    Choosing a Cab Ride DVD

    I enjoy 225, but Video 125 products are far superior. The picture and sound quality are in a different universe. A highly informative commentary. Professional packaging. Glass master replication rather than 225s approach of burning onto a DVD-R. 225s best point is that it is complete, but I...

    London, where to live?

    £650 a month in rent won't get you a flat. I live in Finchley/Barnet area and at best you would get a small studio for that. I pay £650 a month for a large room with an en suite bathroom. For a flat in North London, you would have to spend at least £800 per month with bills on top. Best of luck...
