Paging light switch owners.

You are me and ICMF scary moments looking in the mirror.

I don't hold with this rubbish about bad starting vehicles there is no
such thing, only bad mechanics. The one thing I do require of mine is
that they start on the button. If they don't they get fettled properly.

 

Oh, right. Be very very careful whilst speeding at night.

 

Where Dawn upon a pansy's breast hath laid
A single tear...

 

All the '60s BR locos and units I've worked have down for on switches.

These things were designed and built by engineers who didn't seem to give
a toss about whether they were familiar or easy to use.

e.g. AWS reset [1] button on one class is in the same place as the
engine(s) stop on another [2].

Hilarious.

[1] A largish button pressed, quickly, in response to a /loud/ warning
horn when passing a cautionary signal.
[2] 31 and 37

 

Awake ye muses nine, sing me a strain divine...

 

Ahhh, I see the light now. No wonder it "whooshed" me tho'!

 

I despair of you all, I really do.

<despairs>

That's better.

#Love comes to you and then after
Dream on, on to the heart of the sunrise

That'd be BR then.

How can the wind with so many around me
Lost in the city

English fucking Electric (both of them)

 

Yes, that's a good one.

#From the corner of my eye
A hint of blue in the black sky
A ray of hope, a beam of light
An end to thirty years of night
The church-bells ring, the children sing
What is this strange and beautiful thing?

 

#You got a beatiful chin,
You got beautiful skin,
You got a beautiful face,
You got taste
You got beautiful eyes,
You got beautiful thighs,
You got a lot, without a doubt,
But I'm thinkin' bout blowin you out,

Cos, you won't stop talking,
Why don't you give it a rest?
You got more rabbit than sainsburys
Its time you got it off your chest

 

Deedly-deet, de-de-de deedly-dee
Deedly-deet, de-de-de deedly-dee
Deedly-deet, de-de-de deedly-dee
Deedly-deet, de-de-de deedly-dee
Deedly-deet, de-de-de deedly-dee
Deedly-deet, de-de-de deedly-dee
Deedly-deet, de-de-de deedly-dee
Deedly-deet, de-de-de deedly-dee etc

And?

 

I saw you in Rudy's
You were very high... Oops, no, wrong.

I don't want to drink in ruins under a sky
The belly of a wild ass.

Nor under a roof that sieves rain with broken walls
Which let in great mounds of soil.

I want to drink in the morning when heaven appears
Wearing a kaftan of voile;

And the Eastern breeze goes for a stroll through a garden
Full of blossom lapped with dew;

And the bright sun is like a newly minted dinar.

 

From the sublime to the ridiculous

Barking. I've just been leafing through McGonagall, but that's a dinosaur
killer.

 

Oh, nothing.

I'm going to have to dig that album out now, though.
