Cute Little Dougie Dog would have chewed the snake in two, looking for its squeak!

Ruddy useless poodles!

But it's only ummmm... NEARLY 11PM??? Where did this evening go? 🤔

Nahhh... Its sick squid, no timewasters!

They're more like guard rails to stop the Daleks from sliding off in a tight turn! 🙃 Looking at the illustration, I don't know why people were so terrified. A handful of blokes with RPGs could take them out easy!

Did you have to have the lid open to fit in?

You're all bonkers! 🤪

Indeed. Third boxcar, midnight train. Destination Bangor, Maine.

Its just that cars get lonely if they're parked on their own. They appreciate the opportunity for a chinwag!

You need a long radio aerial (doesn't neet to be connected to a radio) with a pennant on it. You should be able to spot it then!

When "King of the Road" was first in the charts?

They're just trying to get back to the conditions when the college was based on a wooden battleship*... * Think HMS Victory with terminal rot.

If you strip the interior from a gross "BMW Mini" it is possible (and has been done) to assemble a real mini body in its cabin... BTW I've parked alongside one of those Mini Countrymen. Its about the same size as my Skoda Yeti.

From the old adverts, you got the impression that they drew their water from the Rochdale/Bridgewater canals...

It all depends on the indexing system used. Start at 0? Or 1? Or something else! They're both valid. In fact, some UK lifts are effectively indexed to start at, say, -1. eg: Basement, Ground, 1, 2, 3 ... n. 🤪

We've a warning for Yellow Snow on Thursday....

There should also be a "Lucky Dip" button!

And various naive comments about "Uncle Arthur", which would have Sgt Wilson cringeing...

A recent episode of "Inside The Factory" visited the Guinness plant. Apparently, in order to comply with food standards their Liffey Water is basically what everyone in the district gets from the tap, treated, chlorinated and fluoridated. Well they used to say that "Guinness is good for you", your chances of tooth decay will be reduced! https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m001vp8p/inside-the-factory-series-8-5-stout Its iPlayer, so its UK only and you have to get through the BBC login...

The LOR was multifaceted to say the least. At its northern end, it connected with the Lancashire and Yorkshire and ran specials to Aintree on Grand National Day. After running along the docks, with the dock lines weaving below it, it crossed the Cheshire Lines Committee main line to their terminus at Central Station, as well as the Herculaneum Goods station, and then plunged into the cliff face to become an underground railway to its southern terminus at Dingle. You can still see the tunnel entrance today. I just remembered, the LOR also crossed the LNWR line from Edge Hill to Riverside Station, alongside the Pierhead, where boat trains took the liner passengers. Almost another main line!

I've got one of those, I call mine "Wobbly Bob", which should give an indication of the probable running qualities of the loco on offer!

120 tonne too. Thats BIG!!!

If they're dull too, perhaps the teams are cutting back on the graphic designers and investing in chassis design engineers instead?

It'd make a cracking film! I can imagine the title, "The Unhappy Hippo" or perhaps "The Hippo Who Never Was"...
