Just arrived in time to say Happy New Year!

Took a bit longer than expected, had to find the latest edition first....

The general gist of the thread reminds me of the daft Pythonesque conversations a mate and I often have at work, we're both freight train drivers and try to lighten things up a bit by describing our nefarious trips out on the mainlines of merry old England as if we were making sly sorties over enemy territory, thus places like Crewe, Cricklewood and Willesden take on the personas and sinister implications of Berlin, Colditz Castle and the V rocket launching pads at Peenemunda.

Must dash, Binky Blenkinsop has just fired up the Blenheim for a shuftie over Bescot North End Sidings, apparently a reconnaissance patrol on the nearby M6 has spotted someone in uniform 'talking funny, loik' wink
You’d have fitted in well at the finest depot in the West, Exeter. Two fine, upstanding members of the footplate fraternity used to do a great double act in driving a 33 whilst acting like they were Captain and Helmsman of a U-Boat, including going back into the engine room and lifting the floor grates and then dropping them to simulate depth charges....

Another year at the coal face beckons.

Although to be fair I’m expecting some occasional breaks for things like sleeping.

What with short breaks, weekend breaks and city breaks are there firms providing sleep breaks?

While you sloped off to work the rest of us are still clearing up after the Trivial Towers New Year's Volume Change Debacle. It looks like the morning after the Battle of Waterloo here.

Dollars, beans, buttons, bobbins & peanuts.

All go towards amassing a vast fortune if you accumulate sufficient quantities.


I went for broke...

Don't feel you have to use random characters to protect the impressionable. We're all friends here. If you want to go home for a kipper, just say so.
