trisonic Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 They'd probably be popular here too, Pete - if the bridges and tunnels were higher. I know something DD - those coaches would be bloody popular on any commuting line into London! Best, Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium NGT6 1315 Posted February 6, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 6, 2012 So, that's me back at home and dinner cooking in the kitchen. Exam went well, far as I can tell, so I hope tomorrow's also will. They're actually fairly closely related, as I said before. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixoh8sixoh Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Tony and I were just tweeting about music on Twitter and I thought I'd ask here... Songs that are similar or that you perhaps even sometimes mistake for others? 3 examples from me: The Hollies - Air That I Breathe and Radiohead - Creep U2 - One and A-ha - Angel in The Snow (Instrumental) Gordon Lightfoot - If You Can Read My Mind and George Benson - The Greatest Love Of All Sometimes it's snatches of similar tunes, basslines or lyrics... Anyone else got any? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trisonic Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 (edited) I agree about Lightfoot/Benson you can switch seamlessly at one part. Listen to this version, though. I like it but one line it sounds like his teeth are coming out! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdCdSLS6c5M Actually it makes me choke up more than "Hurt"....... Best, Pete.

RMweb Premium NGT6 1315 Posted February 7, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 7, 2012 Morning all... We're at -13° as I'm typing this, and while daytime temps are expected to rise over the next several days, nights will most likely remain rather cold. They also mentioned a possibility of snow for next week, if I'm not mistaken. Nothing else to report as of yet, so - have a good day everyone...

RMweb Premium NGT6 1315 Posted February 7, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 7, 2012 Did you see post #21203 with photo? I thought you might find it interesting.... Best, Pete. Yes, I did - sorry for not mentioning it before. Guess I had my mind elsewhere when I typed my previous two postings... I bet those American double deckers are even larger than those we have here in this country...so there'd be no chance of running any of these over here either, even though our loading gauge is larger than the UK one.

travelintrev Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Morning All, my 'net went AWOL Sunday afternoon & came back earlier this morning, which meant I got a shed load of catch-up emails to do! (Not to mention whats been going on on here! . Didnt mention that I actually saw passenger train here the other day, coach roofs & ends had lots extra passengers on........but of course no photo, sorry! Enjoy your day (If you can), back later, Trev. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's OK; I was wondering about the "Euro" look of the locomotive, is it following trends in Europe? I know that the latest Voith is way more angular..... Best, Pete.

RMweb Premium skipepsi Posted February 7, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 7, 2012 Morning all, still crunching round the garden on the frozen snow.

I know that the latest Voith is way more angular..... I don't think I could say this were a general trend. Neither the new Siemens Vectron family nor Bombardier's upcoming TRAXX 3 nor Alstom's PRIMA 2 are in any way angular. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Morning All, My garden thermometer read -13.8°C this morning - this is slowly ceasing to be funny. The water in the bathroom pipes was close to freezing this morning (they are lagged, but run to the shower along the wall of a dormer) and all the paint has flaked off of my drive gates. Particularly irritating as I sanded the whole thing down and repainted it this summer. I used Hammerite too as I wanted it to last. Traffic was heavy, and driving was stipid on the way to work - it seems the cold is affecting people's brains too! Have a good day everyone...

When I think about what I observed on the train yesterday and what a driver I know told me about his completely buggered shift, I'd have to expand that finding to rail passengers!

DonBradley Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Good morning all, Thick mist/fog early this morning which cooled the air down delightfully. Clearing at the moment with some cloud, so it won't be as hot as it has been. I hope it will be a good day for you folks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted February 7, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 7, 2012 Morning all. Dry, clear and -1C here. I went out for long enough to fit a replacement wiper blade to the Clio. Pete, the new Class 70 diesels here in the UK are quite angular (though they aren't really a European design!) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted February 7, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 7, 2012 Eldest daughter is 21 today which is a little worrying if only in where did the time go.

Guest dilbert Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 (edited) A very dry -8°c over here - with the wind chill it is effectively -15°c. Snow forecast tonight.

RMweb Gold BoD Posted February 7, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 7, 2012 Morning all Tunes that are similar: Paganini's 24th Caprice for violin and Rachmaninov's Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini Gordon: when you have stopped the world let me know, I would like to get off too.

RMweb Premium 45156 Posted February 7, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 7, 2012 Morning All Still cold here, but not as cold as many others. Forecast is for "warmer" (ie just into positive numbers at night) weather towards the weekend. These mornings, just getting up is an effort, and I am beginning to believe that Seasonal Wotsit Syndorome is real. Anyway, Regards to All Stewart Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium eldavo Posted February 7, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 7, 2012 Morning All, Not sure about all this stopping the world business, wouldn't we all just fall off rather than getting off? In fact maybe it's the opposite and we would weigh more due to the absence of centrifugal effects. Yesterdays plans all went awry as the golf course was closed due to the freezing and thawing over the last few days. Perhaps the world has ended! Not really much to complain about in my world as can be seen. Have a good one all. Cheers Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDolfelin Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Congratulations and many happy returns to Mick's daughter. Surprising how many Fathers are older than their children. Frost here this morning and now a weak winter sun. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
