durham light infantry Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Were there no patients for the layout doctor? He looks bored. Hope he warms his stethoscope for Birtley!!! Â Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
long island jack Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Jack Think he's talking about himself,now he's joined the over 50's gang,also the blacks cats lost again,to look on the bright side we did have a good Chinese,so it might just be a bit of wind!!!!!!!!!!!!! Â Ray p.s the layout doctor was only needed once to sort out a derailment,it wasn't me govenor,honest,i was banished to the darkest corner,hence no photo's,though did manage a stint on the front Sunday,while they were all still asleep.
