With latest Revolution announcement a big item is crossed off in the form of WIAs (never essential, just cool).

But I will play:

Loco: Class 455

Coach: Pass, unless you count re-releases of TSOs to make them more common.

Wagon: PHY/JYA Yeomans (purely to add variety and make more prototypical rakes for the 59s).

Bonus Re-livery: Swallow Class 47/8 (come on Farish this shouldn't be a big ask!)

I managed to get made redundant five times before I was 33. Two jobs I got made redundant from before I even started, which must be a record.

It's cliched but it's always worked out for the better for me, a couple of big pivots in industry, but the opportunities have always worked out for the better. I actually weighed up whether to take redundancy again a couple of weeks ago, the job market is good at the moment, it's a tempting proposition! Sure you'll find something befitting.

Very competently played Martin @port perran but not as much fun as Solstice! Nevertheless, they are a popular band. BTW, the violinist is Claire Lindley who spent some time with Stackridge.

I am very pleased to now have tickets to see Solstice at Milton Keynes in September.

Cheers,

I think I saw them once on Jools Holland's show and, sadly, was not particularly keen

If you can think of a suitable title for such a website I'll file it under that name ;)

Moving on from Solstice, here is another promising new wave prog rock band that I've stumbled upon.
This is Apollo by Big Big Train :

A big sound with seven, I think, in the band plus a brass section.
Again, as in Solstice, the fiddle brings an added dimension.
I feel that this track loses its way on occasions but on the whole it is promising.
Cheers
Martin

I had to apply for my own job 3 times. Third time unlucky, so I took the money and ran. Went contracting- the best thing I ever did. No more company politics to deal with. Do the job and move on.
