Then they invented bikes and did away with all this interbreeding.

I raise you Foxdale, IoM.  Inbreeding and lead poisoning!  That's why they closed the railway really......to keep then in there.  Any mention that I was the Sub-postmaster there for a short period should be in hushed tones.  It rubs off you know.

 

CK, how about Ballawattleworth?

Attention all fans of the Midland Railway in Gloucestershire - the latest Neil Parkhouse volume appears to be out - http://lightmoor.co.uk/view-book.php?ref=L8184&section=CatNew

No, it's on the Peel Riviera.

Is that how posh Manx folk describe a large watercourse?

Watercourse traditionally is freely available in Peel.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh, sorry, you said watercourse............    

[The Stationmaster]

Thank you for your dedication whilst here in sunny Debon Mike, however, I'm concerned that the mention of " pastis" is somewhat worrying.

Did the label on the packet or menu mention the name Ricard perchance ?

 

Zut alore !!!

 

In fact it is distilled by the same concern which produces Tarquin's gin  (which I nearly sampled on the following evening but instead stuck with my old favourite Gordon's)

I've been tempted by Tarquin's as a sipping gin but alas have stuck to the Sainsburys own brand gulping variety.

I went to Gordon's Gin distillery and in the social club was a sign saying "Owing to the club not being able to get a late licence the pool semi final has been cancelled."

 

Couldn't organise a p... up in a distillery comes to mind.

Went to one of the late Fred Wedlocks gigs one time. Brilliant night spent in the Goods shed at Cranmore (ah, a railway link on SOSJ, I'll get a temporary ban if I'm not careful). Then girlfriend (now ex-wife) lived in Frome and I lived in Backwell (next village along, Nailsea). Sad to say I never saw Adge perform live although I have seen the Wurzels.

 

I might be a Salopian but there is a big slice of Zummerset in me too.

I was lucky enough to have MC'd Fred's first appearance in Bedford in around 1975.  He took the mick out of me something rotten.

That's Cleethorpes and it is in the east dear heart which is not as grim as it is further north. It also is the destination and departure Station of one/two of my trains on SOSJ. 

Things have changed a bit, that is the trains rarely have steam loco's as motive power. Almost everything else is the same including the fashion, the weather and the clock.

In fact I went more than once, always to do with work. Like many large employers of yesteryear Gordon's let their staff out twice a year for their 6 monthly blood letting session. I had the best job, I was the one who stuck the needles in their arms. No I wasn't some mad shaman performing strange Essex rituals, I was working as charge nurse with the Nation Blood Service.

[Mallard60022]

First off, here's a bit of fun. DCC has a mind of it's own. There, that's got that off my rib cage.

Next. Big thanks to Neal of Peel for sending me two Hornybee decoders (yes, those much maligned but XLNT products wot fits into an S15 tender summat awsome)

I boughted they fer me S15s wot as not got nun yet. I was going to show off this evening by showing you a double headed S15, so I fitted 30843 (30842 already has a Hornybee Dec'r). As it backed down towards 30842 I realised that '42 does not have a front coupling. Then I saw that '43 does not have a front coupling. ## ###### said I. Have not got they couplings, don't want to run them tender to tender as that's daft and so you ain't gettin'  DHS15s tonite. Sorry.

Suck larks. 

So, why D.H. S15s you ask? Well, up The Junction there is an afternoon down local train that ends up with two S15s up front, so there's the prototype to be set up.  

So, I did other things and I now think I need to replace two points. One is simple as I have spare available. The other probably requires a Pecobooby C75 Leccy Frog, curved LRLH if tomorrow I discover that the existing one is ####ed. I will be checking for dry solder joint as advised, however I think it is a dead parrot point and not a dry joint.

That's it, except to say that operations on SOSJ could be fun with two persons as there could be conflicting moves across the main lines on occasion at the FY ends/exits/ entrances. The Signal staff will have to be on the ball as interlocking will not be included. LOvely.

Cleethorpes in the East? Now a couple of moths ago when I was residing in the wonderful county of Essex, it was up north. Now having moved I might be changing my mind as I am only 14 miles as the crow files from it.

Must be summer as everyone is dressed for winter and it looks as though its still raining though the kiosks are open for potential business.  The question is, why would so many go to the seaside in such weather?  Wakes week?

Used to drive a Ford van like that one!

It is indeed sir. Trains from which would travel to my pipedream of a layout of Sidmouth (but now Richard Harper's made a right bulls-up of it, there's no bl00dy point!... see MRJ's 242/243)

 

PS:. Anywhere above (?) the M4 is north.

 

I went to Keynsham once but my therapist says I should recover given time...

Not even those tiny winy good for not hooking on to anything screw couplings that get in the way when using proper tension locks?
