That's not even electrified yet! The best bit of line is HS1 - you know the track that was to turn the streets of coastal Kent into gold... Guess what? The money went the other way and the Tories still haven't tempted the yuppies from The Smoke to come and infest our towns! 55 minutes from here into North London so great for footy at Wembley!

Here's our local railway, not connected to the National Rail system.... https://www.rhdr.org.uk/

Hope you got your Senior Railcard - a third off all fares - mine arrived on Tuesday so just trying to decide where to go now. The problem is not so much with the trains themselves but the infrastructure which was built with 19th Century climate in mind. Now it is not unusual for temperatures to exceed 30 degrees C and the rails are 20 degrees hotter, it would be necessary to pull up all the rails and replace them so expansion would no longer be an issue.

Don't forget to patch the game so you can play our mods...

That trout was a nice size for the pan. My ambition is to catch a nice pike on a lure...

Success at last! We have transferred our 8% share to a couple in Sussex who will now enjoy the boat we could not. We are hoping to visit the Norfolk Broads this Autumn / Fall and gather there's good fishing there too. No locks so sounds OK for a disabled skipper.

And you can futtock off as well!

With Microsoft abandoning Windows 7 in January, I have a decision to make. I am no fan of Microsoft and would prefer to bid them and their spyware goodbye. However, the path to playing the next generation of FPS games is firmly with Windows 10 64-bit and the box would need at east 16GB of RAM in it. Let's not even think about the GPU! It may be that the old soldier of a Medion tower that lives under my desk will be replaced not by one but two desktops - an iMac for the serious stuff and a Windows games machine!

Shame. My old box can't run it...

I have had a similar experience when dealing with a mobile phone/broadband company called "3". They imposed paperless billing on us years ago so we don't have pieces of paper with our phone number hanging around the house. There was an "all you can use" mobile data offer that only cost £5 more than my monthly 3GB so I thought I'd have some of that. Only problem is that 3 don't have my current address and one has to enter a postcode to identify oneself. I asked them if they wanted the one I hadn't been at for five years or the one they know nothing about... I think it'd be easier to shut my account!

Enjoy the training! Wassat you say? :)

Firefox stopped working properly for me weeks ago. It just freezes up and the problem appears to be an uncontrolled appetite for memory and system resources. Even regular cleaning with Ccleaner Pro does not help. I have now reverted to Chrome which, despite its potential to spy on me, works much better.

Cyclone Idai cut a swathe of destruction through Mozambique. As the people coped with the loss of life and possessions, another - Kenneth - rolled in from the ocean to flatten even more. The emergency continues. The need has not diminished. Has your compassion? Please pray and donate now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aj7rvAs-pcY

Just throw him some stale bread - that keeps him content.

It was a sad day, over three years ago... (He died on 27 December 2015.) What has caused you to resurrect this unhappy "news"?

Icequeen made me do this! ?

I used to hate the mushy stuff - they served it up every meal time. I called it "sludge" as the sewage sludge would be pumped from central London where I was being treated up to Barking Creek where they discharged it into Father Thames! Eventually, they decided I could swallow properly and more solid food was allowed. Would you believe that the best meals available were on the halal menu! I loved the curries! I'm now waiting for an appointment up at Canterbury to have another echo cardiogram as the swelling in my legs and feet makes the doctor think my heart is stretched and not pumping too well. I feel kind of awkward at Easter as Jesus was resurrected once and I was brought back twice by the medics. I know He had something to do with this too. I made sure the priest annointed me before they opened me up! May the Lord look kindly on us all and especially us old farts who have things wrong with us. Hint: if it keeps springing up like that, hold it down a bit more firmly! :D

I can't believe our Sovereign Lady is 93 today! Happy Birthday, Ma'am!

Happy Easter everyone! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRnG2xzzEaU
