Glenderg Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 Havin' a fairly crap week, but this little rant about what those railway characters are doing to corrupt the youth gave me a lift. Enjoy. http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2012/jul/04/tyrannical-world-thomas-the-tank-engine Richie. Quote
BosKonay Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 It's funny, but true Some of the stories really are terrible :) Quote
Weshty Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 Brought my young fellahs to see #4 at Mallow many moons ago (with cravens!! BR EGV!! and 186!!), and all they got worked up on was the bloody Thomas The Tank pywood mockup on the main platform. Kids eh? Quote
josefstadt Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 If you don't like Thomas the how about Ernest the Engine? Quote
Glenderg Posted July 5, 2012 Author Posted July 5, 2012 What's weird about the development of the series, it seems, is the difference in interpretation between the UK and US, aside from the really disturbing plots and outcomes. " In the UK version, the Fat Controller says he'll brick Henry up "for always and always and always", while in the US versions, the punishment is only until Henry "is ready to come out of the tunnel I wonder what the Irish version might say....!
