Now that the contestants for the position of PM and leader of the Conservative party have made their opening statements, I can't resist posing the question, How long before Donald Trump pokes his...

I like hear the 'how it was' and have reached an age when I can also remember what was and how it used to be as well.

Horus's thread about Smallwood Steam Rally set me thinking about my own recollections of steam power and IC engines in my early years. SO, on a quiet and rather unpleasant and...

Very interesting Grandad and as I served my own apprenticeship in Crewe Locomotive Works (as did Mr Foden the lorry builder) I can well remember the counter shaft drives as we had them in virtually...
As I mentioned in another thread I visited a local Steam Rally yesterday with my daughter and son. Unfortunately the weather was not so good, not an uncommon outcome for this particular event, often...

Yes they did Kiya, although the ones you remember (being only a slip of a girl, unlike myself ;) ) were probably the diesel engine version, they looked very similar.
God I am so fed up with all these so called protesters against Trump, because a few lefties in London are waving banners we are supposed to believe that everyone shows the same disrespect towards the...

I am not such a Trump fan that I'm naïve to his faults. I fervently wish he'd STOP TWEETING and blathering on about all and sundry however I was quite hopefully that his NOT being a professional...

HaHaHa! Snap! My two did the same thing but I just left them in the pots in my workshop and forgot about them. Then I noticed leaves sprouting so I watered and gave them a chance. So far leaves but...

I accept all you say LLL but there is a limit between being vigilant and being a PITA (that's a pain in the ar*se). He takes being vigilant to new levels :lol:

I will be so glad when this week is over :td It started out with me spending a lot of time on a job for my mate and that kept me busy, but this month is also a pain in the bum as lots of things need...
So how is everyone doing with the series? can we discuss it yet without spoiling it for you?

I don't like it when a TV Series kills off a character and then resurrects them a year or so later i.e. he wasn't really hit by a passing truck cause he actually fell into an open sewer losing his...
Another good series from the BBC called 'Gentleman Jack' started tonight on BBC 1 at 9 pm and if you missed it no doubt I-Player will have it on, or if your like me you may wait a few episodes then...

Grandad your grandson Alex sounds to be a very nice young lad and no wonder you and Mrs G are so proud.
Glad to hear some youngsters are interested in the past for the future :) :)
I needed to do a bit of 'tweaking' of the TV settings this morning. During that process a morning cooking program included an ancient clip of Keith Floyd cooking in Andalucia. During the clip he was...
