  1. How many 071s can I get with the compensation?
  2. Top notch production - well done.
  3. Not mine - stolen..
  4. Where can you get a driver with a pony-tail..?
  5. I'm not digging a hole that size on my own...
  6. Few things are perfect, but that's plenty good enough. I believe that the site rules state that most things are Anto's fault.
  7. Then he changed his coat and came back with a bucket..
  8. My sentiments, exactly. Looking forward to seeing this one progress.
  9. Might be - is that you with the shopping trolley..?
  10. Do the widgets rattle? And is there a tap at the back?
  11. The book - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Off-Beaten-Track-Irish-Railway/dp/0862815630 Some programme notes - http://www.tcd.ie/irishfilm/print.php?exactMatch=&extraSearch=&q=beaten&search=title
  12. Shane Sutton now - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/cycling/20255862 - possibly a sustained campaign..?
  13. The Nigerian stuff has sorghum and wheat in it - rather a different taste, but quite drinkable. Rather too drinkable at 7.5%...
  14. I am considering opening a Nigerian Guinness theme-pub - anybody want to climb aboard?
  15. I'll drink to that.
  16. "Tour de France champion Bradley Wiggins is in hospital after being knocked off his bike. The 32-year-old Olympic gold medal winner damaged his ribs in the collision at 18:00 GMT in Wrightington, near Wigan and was taken to a local hospital by ambulance. Lancashire Police have told BBC Sport his injuries are not life-threatening. The incident happened on Crow Orchard Road and a woman driver is helping police with inquiries." - BBC.
  17. We had gantry cranes in the factory, up to 180 tons. The driver was basically responsible for not hitting anything with the load, but the slinger was responsible for seeing that the means used to support the load were adequate for the job. There were surprisingly few incidents, but 80 tons coming down twenty feet sticks in the mind. We went to pendant control on a lot of the smaller cranes later, which did increase the amount of excitement, as almost anybody could have a go. I caused great hilarity once by lifting something that seemed to be stuck to the floor, only to find that, after I'd pulled it in half, I'd missed a ring of bolts that were still holding it down....
  18. Breaking news on the BBC - "Champion cyclist Bradley Wiggins in hospital after collision with a vehicle " - no further details.
  19. Currently downing a Nigerian Guinness - lovely stuff, I think. Tesco on what the English think is the mainland stock it, now and then - well worth a try.
  20. Ah, right - I see now..
  21. Dummy point motors?
  22. Class 70 going cheap for spares...
