Don't forget your coat...

Started to prepare for breakfast this morning, plugged the toaster in then remembered that there was no marmalade to go on the toast. So checked the fridge, no bacon for a bacon butty, so ended up with a yogurt for breakfast.

My post above # 64184 took ages to post and looked ok, but when I went to edit it it came up 'double'.

As well as a 'Groan' button we could do with a 'You rotten bastard' one it seems.

Both bidders names start n***, I wonder what the *** stands for?

I had an internet problem a couple of weeks ago, same thing, press 1 etc. But it only took a minute or two to get in touch with a nice gentleman in India who sorted out the problem, at 11 o'clock in the evening.

What does curried pigeon taste like?

I see the paving blocks have been tidied up.

Not my eyes exactly.

Despite your warnings I just had to Google it!

Or a Mackintosh stout. Do they still make it?

Not a lot of protection against the other dodgem cars. For my A13 commute before I retired I used to buy an old banger with a long MOT and replace it with another shortly before the old MOT expired, I don't ever recall washing them.

I acquired my garage almost two years ago, shortly afterwards I disposed of the vehicle I intended to keep in it. I inquired with my insurance company as to any savings I could make by keeping my everyday car in the garage. The saving would have been £10 per year and what is more I would have had to keep the car in the garage at all times it was not in use, if I had left it on the drive for example and it had been stolen it would not be insured so the car stayed on the drive. The garage now is used for storage of my layout and other items. The vehicle that I intended to store in the garage was a 'classic' van that I hoped to restore, when preparing it to move to the garage I realised that I was very unlikely to achieve that aim so I sold it on to someone who is now in the process of restoring it.

Last time I was being 'navigated' my 84 year old navigators most common comment was 'We should have turned off there.'.

There is a range from Hong Kong in 1:120 scale http://www.jotus.com Just click on 'bus' and then select 1:120 scale. They include DMS types and Metrobus double deckers. IIRC the plastic Minix bus was to a similar scale.

The LSWR had Road Vans designed as such, as did the Metropolitan Railway (Ex R.O.D. based on the LSWR design). IIRC the GER also had a few.

Reminds me of 'Homes under the Hammer'.. I'd be hard put nowadays to build the Superquick buildings in the opening sequence. Mind you I wouldn't mind some of those banknotes that rack up the numbers. I received a letter from my bank a couple of months ago saying that I had not taken £20 from an ATM, in 2008! I don't recall such an incident but as the bank credited it to my account plus an extra £5 who am I to argue.

Woke up at 6.30 this morning, decided to get up instead of laying in bed. Now to decide what to do for the rest of the day.

The blocks have been stacked, ready for relaying perhaps.

I had my car cleaned and valeted last weekend, it only took the birds less than 24 hours to leave a deposit.

A few days ago my smoke alarm started 'tweeting' every five minutes to indicate that the battery needs replacing (which has since been done). However it always seems to do this at 2 am!

Another zero on the end of the price for a start. Or wait until it appears on his listings.

Got the toaster to work this morning, apparently it doesn't like doorsteps, just as well as I'm completely out of bacon.

Where, what and when was the photograph taken? The bus in the background is a London STL class in red livery and the Locomotive is a LNER pacific with a distorted length of rail coming through the cab.
