Retirement

[Horsetan]

Looks like one of my cousins has finally decided to retire from the railways

This is the fella who got me into model railways back in 1975, with the birthday present of a Hornby Freightmaster set.

My parents never forgave him for that. The rest, as they say, is hysterical.

That’s a lovely story. I take it that another cousin presented you with a ‘My Little Pony’ set ?

News update: Jeff sez his retirement hasn't had the ideal start: last week his car broke down and then some feral stole the new motorbike he'd only just taken delivery of.....

Now, George, surely everyone knows Eeyore? 

I thought that Stephen Moore's Eeyore-like rendition of Marvin the Paranoid Android was perfect.

That’s such a shame. It was a really nice news story. Hope things pick up for him

I think someone's trying to tell him he should go back to work
