The mind boggles! A wonderful, yet wonderfully hairbrained idea I see enough poor drivers with only road rules to worry about without giving them railway rules to deal with too!

I love to think that somebody somewhere in the past thought 'this could be the future'........

 

On a similar note last year, I started getting the BFI's sets of the output of 'British Transport Films' on DVD. They've just released Vol 9 and apparently there are lots more in the archives.

 

They are fantastic.

 

Autoshite highlights are two wonderful colour films from the late sixties;

 

Motorsport tries Motorail

and

 

Give your car a holiday

http://ftvdb.bfi.org.uk/sift/title/2533

 

There is top class British & Foreign chod in both.

 

I recommend all the BTF films, they take you back to another time.

I was talking to a guy today who works for an animal waste processing firm, and it's not just dung they deal with. They produce tallow form animal fat. The really good stuff can be used in cosmetics. Poor quailty stuff gets sent for being turned into biodiesel.What made me smile is the thought of a vegan filling up with bovine biodiesel - does this make me evil?

What's made me happy this weekend is finding a NOS Sachs rear shock for the Carlton for £7.50 on t'Bay. Then getting it fitted in about half an hour with no seized bolts or other buggering about. If only car repairs were always this easy...

Must say football makes me smile. Even more so that this season I have something to smile about thanks to King Billy... Also, I was in HMV in Darlington today and picked up a box set of all the series of M*A*S*H for 50 notes. Now I love M*A*S*H so I am very very very very very very very very HAPPY The film is also in there as well

I'd love a copy of them if you had the incanation

[whitevanman]

- does this make me evil?

YES, very probably....................

Depends if you're asking me or her

There's been a uproar today after a Welsh rugby fan dropped his kilt on live TV, It made me piss myself, The blokes got balls i think!.

I've had several conversations with enthusiastic Iranians about the Minx. Different from the usual "I used to have one of those" comments.

Just starting month two of my new job, and my boss pulled me to one side to give me a 3K pay rise.AWESOME!

Finding a good friend is still a good friend even though like a spaz you've not bothered to get in touch for years, and they sort you right out when you need it the most.Cryptic but has put an honest to god smile on my chops. Friends are ace.

This begs the question"What the hell were you looking for to find this!?"

[Mr H Sceptre]

@PillockThe freind stuff sounds cool, kinda know what you mean. i think.But G&T and ska fucking rule.

[Parky]

I like a bit of Ska. Listening to "The Selecter" by The Selecter too feckin loudly in the car reminds me of being 17 again.Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band records, Stan Freberg, and Spike Milligan radio recordings make me smile. Hopelessly old now but actually doing stuff in the 50's and 60's which todays comedians pass of as fresh material. My five year old wandering up to a fat woman and asking her "Why are you so fat, do you eat too much or something?" was a horrifingly embarrassing moment but it makes me smile to think about it now!
