Hroth

According to police chase programmes, most suspects lie on the ground crying and shouting for the dog to be called off! I suppose where they get bitten depends on which anatomy is closest when the dog "launches"*... * I almost typed "lunches"... 😁

According to the UK tabloid press this morning, "man flu" is a real ailment, not the usual sexist joke that is bandied about, so stick to feeling ill and spread it about a bit! Get better soon!

And that was because 240 pennies to the pound/12 pennies to the shilling plus thruppences/sixpences/shillings/florins/halfcrowns/ten bob notes were confusing and complicated things for overseas tourists! And that was just everyday pocket change*. I've left out farthings, ha'pennies and crowns because they were less common, had been dying out or actually demonetised well before Decimalisation. * Nowadays, holes in pockets are much rarer due to the decrease in both weight and volume of so much slummy...

Wasn't that the "Exhibitions" version, produced for keeping pasties warm?

So long as the Great Bear doesn't end up looking like this...

The best I can offer is that I had to de-ice Yeti this morning. Winter is incoming.... He must have been a zombie left over from Halloween last month!

But 299 only appeared a month ago! Surely 300 will be late January at least...

Typically Alsatian? Barks loudly and grabs criminals by the arm....

Bear also fronted Cresta, a soft drink, in his earlier years... Its frothy, man!

But you do get some E X E R C I S E too... And a muggacoffee!

"Not quite, Flavio", he quipped, looking down with lazy eyes as he flicked a speck of dust off his irreproachable lace cuffs....

Want a toy train to run around the Christmas Tree? Hattons are currently discounting the large scale R1268 "Hogwarts Express" train set to £81... https://www.hattons.co.uk/525410/hornby_r1268_harry_potter_hogwarts_express_large_scale_train_set_battery_operated_with_remot/stockdetail ChooChoo!!!

The cleverest Spotty Dog in the whole wide world!!! Looks like he's having lots of fun too!

Just in case anyone is interested for bodging.... Hattons are flogging discounting the R1268 Harry Potter "Hogwarts Express" trainset for £81. https://www.hattons.co.uk/525410/hornby_r1268_harry_potter_hogwarts_express_large_scale_train_set_battery_operated_with_remot/stockdetail The coaches in particular remind me of the old Rovex/Triang shorty "banana" coaches in the early train sets!

Given the sort of things that get under the radar at ebay, he may not have a problem...

Magnolia/Fresh Flour/Bleached Linen???

But it HAD to be said!!! 😁 And its still silly to pay for an hour of exercise, then scoff coffee and cake immediately afterwards! Especially if the "refreshments" are inclusive... Perhaps the chat is along the lines of, "exercise and cake don't go together...".

Or a LARGE SPIDER..... 🤪

The jib is too long for the 15 ton crane, you'd need a 45 ton crane to do that job, I can see it working with a Hornby Dublo crane and, say, Duchess of Montrose! You could also use the current Hornby version of both too... I feel sorry for the blokes hoisted up with the wagon to shovel the coal into the tender!

Looks like a TT scale car on OO gauge track.... At least its not going the wrong way down a motorway or dual carriageway!

Has anyone ever done a scalped doubledecker under a LOW railway bridge? A bus at a bus stop outside a disused railway station? A number of rail replacement buses outside a station when there are technical problems at an exhibition? A broken down bus being towed by a recovery lorry. Over (or under) a railway bridge. Etc....

I've just done a census on a tub of Celebrations. The good news is that the number of Bounties appears to be fewer than in previous years, a mere 7 'orrible wastes of space! I shall incorporate them in a Bounty-lovers Christmas Stocking!

It'll be the gazunda, he'll need a couple at least...

Maybe, but after my era.... What if he's not allergic to cats, but dogs? Roobarb and Custard ought to cover both bases. Or perhaps we could try the Spotty Dog from The Woodentops? Proper childrens entertainment!!!

Looks like Santa gave Frosty a knuckle sandwich for Christmas!
