01:02:03 04/05/06. That won't ever happen again in our lifetime In fact it will be approximately 400 generations before it happens again. Title: Re: Once in four hundred generations Post by: Dingdell on April 27, 2006, 04:12:10 PM what happens at that point? Do we all go bang or something?

Title: Re: Once in four hundred generations Post by: the bus on April 27, 2006, 04:18:34 PM We get that and the Millenium.
I'll be picking up a load of freeloading pensioners on the highstreet at the time, but I'll spare a thought for y'all. Title: Re: Once in four hundred generations Post by: Poppet7 on April 27, 2006, 04:19:37 PM ...and the eclipse!
Title: Re: Once in four hundred generations Post by: TightEnd on April 27, 2006, 04:20:24 PM at 1am? pensioners?
What route do you run then bus? Title: Re: Once in four hundred generations Post by: the bus on April 27, 2006, 04:24:44 PM What can I say, the over 65's on the Island of Sodor really know how to kick it on a Wednesday night.
Title: Re: Once in four hundred generations Post by: TightEnd on April 27, 2006, 04:27:24 PM The bucket?
the one that had holes in it when they tried to refill thomas's water tank on the bridge? Had years of these episodes, bringing the memories back My favourite was always Terrence the Tractor. Title: Re: Once in four hundred generations Post by: the bus on April 27, 2006, 04:33:25 PM Terrence the Tractor is a big plagerising hack if you ask me. He wrote his own episode, ripped it offa Rudolph the Red nose reindeer.
Made such a big deal of pulling T***** out of a snow drift. First of all, that's his job at the end of the day. How much quodos does a dinner lady get for making the custard. Secondly, when the t*** engine gets stuck, best just to leave him be. That way some of the other (more charismatic, less one-dimensial) engines might get some friggin screen time. Title: Re: Once in four hundred generations Post by: TightEnd on April 27, 2006, 04:36:20 PM nah nah, now you are just talking like Gordon, the big blue engine...arrogant, pompous, superior
We all know what happens to engines like that, they go into dark tunnels calling Henry a wuss for not going in and find an escaped elephant which scares the living be jaysus out of them Title: Re: Once in four hundred generations Post by: smithy69 on April 27, 2006, 04:43:49 PM tightend my baby is due on that day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I will try and ask the missus to keep to the exact times you have mentioned to ensure the baby is that extra bit special Title: Re: Once in four hundred generations Post by: the bus on April 27, 2006, 04:47:16 PM I will try and ask the missus to keep to the exact times you have mentioned to ensure the baby is that extra bit special That'd be soooo cool, you'd get in the papers and stuff. Keeping a copy would be a nice kinda keep sake for the wee-un when it grows up. It'll be special anyway though :)up Title: Re: Once in four hundred generations Post by: Bongo on April 27, 2006, 04:54:19 PM On The 4th of next month, at two minutes and three seconds after 1:00 inthe morning, the time and date will be 01:02:03 04/05/06. That won't ever happen again in our lifetime In fact it will be approximately 400 generations before it happens again. Surely it will happen again in 100 years? That's not 400 generations is it?

Title: Re: Once in four hundred generations Post by: RED-DOG on April 27, 2006, 05:33:28 PM what happens at that point? Do we all go bang or something?
