Been a long time since the two oldest men on the poker scene have been in one venue!

Don't mind covering for him.  We have proof.  Boldie said so.

Just because he says he is doesn't mean that that's true! He's just saying that so Ms Orpe will be interested in meeting him. If she knew he was just an old fat and hairy Greek bloke she wouldn't be nearly as keen as she is now that she thinks he's a 22 year old bit of exotic Greekness.

Me, I spent much of the weekend stood on Platforms at Newcastle Station, & got some great Loco & Train 'photos. (I'll put them up later, don't fret).

No accounting for taste, each to their own, da de da.

But be honest - would you rather get bladdered & ride a pretend rodeo bull, or take train pics on Newcastle Station?

I rest my case.

Check the BBC Website, they have a load of old steam train programmes playing on there at the moment.

Stunning, thank you!

Note it included plenty of GWR stuff - which, in truth, is all that really interests me, that's the hardcore stuff. The LMS & SR stuff is just titillation, sort of "Parade".

My only issue with "Restored" Locomotives, & latter-day "Steam Specials" is that the Locos are always squeaky shiny clean, & thats just wrong. A bit of dirt & grime adds realism. The Late Sir Alan Clark, MP (Chelsea & Westminster) had a huge collection of Vintage, Veteran, & Classic Cars, & in fact drove a 20 year old Porsche almost daily, but he NEVER cleaned them, or repaired little dents & bumps. Credibliity ftw.

Finally, what a treasure trove that BBC Archive is. And free, too. Folks moan about the BBC, & the Licence Fee (well, folks moan about everything these days) but what a great institution the BBC is - especially when you compare the quality of their serious output with the relentless stream of dross that ITV, Ch4 & Ch5 put out.

Great Link, thank you.
