Crackin videos as usual Steve and Phil,it was quite a morning on Shap yesterday
Henry

 

That's a cracking good bit of video, thank you.

 

Well I'll tell you what matey boy, if the last Lancashire made black pudding was an average sample, Lancashire is very welcome to keep it because it was cra.........poor.
If that was the best they can do they need to try their hand at something else............ try synchronised knitting. eace:

 

Well I do say...

i think Mr V is waving Mrs V's handbag at me... :lalala:

A part from a pancake served with a beef dripping, what else has though hollies on the wet side of todmordon produced in world cuisine ?

 

Great stuff in bad conditions from the lineside and good to see trains you are actually on. A job videoing from the train a lot of the interesting bits because of the snow soon soaking the lens. Conditions on board were very cosy, thank god but the downside was condensation which meant a constant battle with tissues in order to see anything of the S&C. A ten minute delay getting away from Appleby because of thankfully solvable brake problem was gadually clawed back but not untill it had grown to twenty. All in all an interesting day out with loco obviously in fine shape.

 

Thanks Henry , worth getting cold and wet for . Steve

 

Thank you young man - and others for the earlier kind words.

Premier dining....on CME.....suitably hauled by Doncaster built 60009...Doncaster of course being in The Republic............

 

I have tread carefully on that one, That Soviet Republic of Yorkshire locomotive will be pulling me around Cumbria this weekend, though I will be bringing the Army with me for protection when we reach the Yorkshire borderlands on the return.. (Admin and the Moderators) .. Does this sound more like a band ?

We have learned from last year however... and John Smith may be left behind and replaced with something more appropriate.

 

The only proper beer from Tadcaster is Sam's!

 

Don't worry, seeing as I clearly failed in my mission to poison all you off-cumdens with it, it's since been kept in special reserve for for visits by the mother-in-law :fear:.

ps - Jolly Boys planning meeting to night

 

So you're not joining us on Saturday, Sheff?

The mods have already been discussing beverages - unfortunately the bottle of "Chateau Carnforth 1968" has already been drunk. But I'm sure a replacement will be found.

Eau De Thames -2013 hasn't been written out, served up with Cadburys Caviar, and a shot from Brixton.

 

Isnt this going a little off topic - maybe the moderators should continue their discussion elsewhere?

 

It's not off topic, it is discussing this weekends CME. , which also happens to be the moderators annual picnic.

point taken however, the humour will remain away from the public, however on Saturday we will be mods on the move from the train, pop in and say hello if your onboard... We will save some a drop of the Thames's finest for you.

 

:ban: assume I'm blackballed, or the invitation got lost in the post Oh yeah, and we're on holiday too. :rain:

 

It was the John Smiths that did it !:roll:

 

60009 on the WCME on Saturday:

If any of you are on tomorrow's trip, do come along to Coach J and say hello.

If you're lucky, we'll give you a demonstration of how five mods can ban the same member at the same time, using various mobile phones and an Ipad.
