well spotted and great pics! just wondering why she is in steam while being towed?

looks like its time for this..... Two blokes on a tandem rode into town and stopped at a pub for a cold drink. Unfortunately, the locals always had a habit of picking on strangers, which they were. When they finished their drinks, they found their "steed" had been stolen. They went back into the bar, the captain neatly flips his gun into the air, catches it above his head without even looking and fires a shot into the ceiling. "WHICH ONE OF YOU SIDEWINDERS STOLE OUR STEED?" he yelled with surprising forcefulness. No one answered. "ALL RIGHT WE'RE GONNA HAVE ANOTHA COLD DRINK, AND IF OUR STEED AIN'T BACK OUTSIDE BY THE TIME WE FINISH, WE'RE GONNA DO WHAT WE DONE IN TEXAS! AND WE DON'T LIKE TO HAVE TO DO WHAT WE DID IN TEXAS!" Some of the locals shifted restlessly. They had another cold drink, walked outside, and the tandem is back! They mount up and start to ride out of town. The bartender wanders out of the bar and asks, "Say partner, before you go... what did happen in Texas?" The captain turned back and said, "We had to walk home'' - dedicated to cyclists everywhere!!!

looking forward to getting my mine shem!

thanks fran....those bastards want to be horse-whipped! for the life of me i cant see the point of doing that to a beautiful engine:confused: to survive for over 100 years-and to be treated like this? unforgiveable!

great find warbonnet...stunning work!

nice stuff GM-you dirty little man!!! your work is up there with the best of them!

cant help it lads...sorry! An executive in irish rail was in a quandary. He had to get rid of one of his staff. He had narrowed it down to one of two people, Debra or Jack. It would be a hard decision to make, as they were both equally qualified and both did excellent work. He finally decided that in the morning whichever one used the water cooler first would have to go. Debra came in the next morning, hugely hung-over after partying all night. She went to the cooler to get some water to take an aspirin and the executive approached her and said: "Debra, I've never done this before, but I have to lay you or Jack off." Debra replied, "Could you jack off, I have a terrible headache."

lets hope they have better luck in next match!!

lads, we model them, take pictures of them, travel in them, curse them...so we might as well have a laugh at them!!! Priests on a Train Four irish priests board a train for a long journey to a church council conference. Shortly into the trip, one pries says "Well, we've all worked together for many years, but don't really know one another. I suggest we tell each other one of our sins." They look nervously at each other but nod OK. The first irish priest says "Since I suggested it, I'll go first. With me it's the drink. Once a year I take off my collar and go out of town to a pub and drink myself blind for a few days. Get it out of my system." They all look each other again nervously, but the next irish priest slowly starts "Wellll... with me, it's gambling. Periodically, I nick the money out of the poor box and go to the races. Spend it all! I get it out of my system." The third, who is really nervous now reluctantly says "This is very difficult. My sin is worse. I take off my collar and go into the red light district, pick out a lass, and spend a week in the saddle. I REEEEAAALY get it out of my system." They all look at the fourth irish priest waiting. He doesn't say anything. Then one of the four speaks up "Come now, we've all told our innermost faults. It's your turn." He looks at the others and starts hesitantly "Welllllll... I'm an inveterate gossip, and I can't wait to get off this train!":rolleyes: ................................. Irish Train Slap An Irish man, an english man, an old woman and a attractive young girl were riding in a train car. When the train went through a tunnel there was a loud SMACK! When the train came out the englishman had a huge red hand print on his face. The old woman thought, "He must have grabbed that young girl." The young girl thought, "He must have grabbed that old woman thinking it was me." The englisman thought, "She must have slapped me thinking I was the Irish man." The Irish man thought, " I can't wait for another tunnel so I can smack that english man again:rolleyes: ....................... Passenger Complaint - Funny Train Story The following is allegedly an exchange of correspondence between a customer and the Irish Railway Company [Larnrod Eireann]. Kindly sent in by John Morris Gentlemen, I have been riding your trains daily for the last two years, and the service on your line seems to be getting worse every day. I am tired of standing in the aisle all the time on a 14-mile trip. I think the transportation system is worse than that enjoyed by people 2,000 years ago. Yours truly, Patrick Finnegan -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reply from Larnrod Eireann Railways Dear Mr. Finnegan, We received your letter with reference to the shortcomings of our service and believe you are somewhat confused in your history. The only mode of transportation 2,000 years ago was by foot. Sincerely, Larnrod Eireann. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Last word from Mr Finnegan Gentlemen, I am in receipt of your letter, and I think you are the ones who are confused in your history If you will refer to the Bible and the Book of David, 9th Chapter, you will find that Balaam rode to town on his ass. That, gentlemen, is something I have not been able to do on your train in the last two years! Yours truly, Patrick
