From our local magazine:
Axe Throwing. Just 150 yards from Leicester Train Station.
I mean, you might have had a few grumbles over the festive period, but this is quite a strong response to a delayed train service!

Welly wanging is much less messy and more enjoyable
Don't you get your foot wet when you take the welly off to wang it? ???

Wife-carrying is a sport in Finland.

@dannyboy (https://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/index.php?action=profile;u=4209) I never said it was
my welly being wanged :no: >:D
I suppose I could be posh and rephrase my comment -
Does not one get ones foot wet when one takes ones welly off in order to wang said welly?
:P
It's unorthodox I know, but I thought I might take up railway modelling. I talk about it plenty...

Well they do say that 'there's nowt as queer as folk'. :)
I suppose somebody might be interested in running down a hill barefoot, chasing a rolling cheese, carrying somebody's wife on their back, whilst wanging a welly full of black pudding. Then, when they get to the bottom, going back up the hill to get an axe. ???
More entertaining if they had the axe on the way down though :D

And I might even travel back home to do that.
(Just a thought though, what is the young lady doing with her right hand?)
I have my own thoughts on that but couldn't possibly comment. :angel:

Yeh - that is what I thought as well. :)
Maybe the co-driver is underneath the console making adjustments so she can get a good feel for the controls?

I think they might actually have one-man (or perhaps now one gender-fluid driver) operation
But I prefer the joystick idea much more than our old fashioned rotating knobs.
I wonder if she has a deformed back, and needs physio-therapy. That would explain why she is sitting squint.
It is also a foreign train, and those eastern European drivers are somewhat more photogenic than the typical pacer driver of old.

You're all quite mad. :laugh3:
