  6. Apparently, they still owe us money for Orsic.
  7. There are 2 lines. The non-electrified one goes into the docks and is used regularly by car transporters. The electrified one is used to park trains that are being serviced at the Maintenance Depot at Northam.

    What's that got to do with the weather?

    The Heat

    Following your hypothesis, did Australia become cold and wet after the immigration of thousands of Brits during the 50's and 60's?
  13. No public enquiries in 1944, or planning permission or objections because there's a bat living in a hole somewhere. The Chinese built 6000 miles of high-speed railway in 10 years. Admittedly, they've got a lot more room but, when they decide to do something they get on with it and, for some reason, nobody objects.
  14. I was on a plane back from Denmark with the rock legend Shakin' Stevens.
  15. Just been down to the ticket office to move my seat. Steady stream of people but didn't have to wait long. The ticket office guy said that they were surprised at the high number of renewals.
  16. Mark Dennis in our local shop. Steve Baker in the chippy. Frannie and Claus at a funeral. Kevin Bond at a birthday party. Barry Horne on a train to Waterloo. MLT quite a few times around town. Barry Venison at my son's Tyro League game. Jimmy Case at a pub near Romsey. Ron Davies at a pub in Romsey Glenn Cockerill and Micky Adams in the old Bassett pub in Burgess Road. Radhi Jaidi jogging up The Avenue. Eric Cantona at the Eurostar terminal.
  17. If you wait until Tuesday, the seats of those who have not renewed become available.
  18. Although I've already renewed, I want to move. Originally, the club said that you could do that from tomorrow. They've now changed that to Tuesday 17th.
  19. The tech entrepreneur who was to lead the "DOGE" team to go into Kent County Council has also resigned. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cwy60vjy1y8o
  20. Chairman resigns. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cq54p9epdg6o
  21. And all of these "world-class" people are working for free.
  22. Had an enjoyable few hours at St Mary's yesterday watching my grandson play in the Southampton Cup. It's a 2-day tournament featuring 123 children's teams in six age groups from 7 to 12. The morning sessions start at 7.00 and run till about 14.00, and the afternoon sessions end at around 21.00. The pitch is divided into 4 mini-pitches and each game is 15 minutes. Each team emerges from the players tunnel with their name being announced over the tannoy. All teams play at least 5 games so get 75 minutes on the pitch. They also get a tour of the dressing rooms and other facilities. The whole ground is open to parents etc and you can wander around the perimeter. Food and drink was available in the Northam concourse. It was all very well organised with games on all 4 pitches starting at exactly the same time (using a clock on the big screens) and then a 5-minute break for the changeover to the next game. Although it was all qualified referees, it was interesting to see the different styles. Some just let them get on with it and only blew for obvious fouls, but others were blowing for the tiniest of infractions. He loved it and can't wait to go back next year ( he also had his picture taken with Frannie Benali). https://www.southamptonfc.com/en/news/article/the-southampton-cup-is-back-for-2025
  23. I appreciate that most Reform votes come from the lower end of the educational scale, but you would hope that their supporters would have a basic understanding of the English language.
  24. This was posted by a newly-elected Reform councillor in Staffordshire. I'm surprised that his mum lets him out on his own.
  25. I see that Reform have announced that they are going to remove all of the Low Traffic Neighbourhoods in the local authorities that they control. You would have thought that they would have known that none of those local authorities have any LTN's.
