It was probably attracted by your flashy socks George ?

Or the odour emanating from said socks

Just as well it was the 'Z' gauge reptile and not the Gauge 1 version...

Best wishes

Does anyone still use buses?! Aside from the olds with free travel I mean!

We have a regular coffee morning here in the (residential) village where the age profile could be described as "9.30am bus queue". I have just renewed my bus pass which is of limited use locally because it is a mile walk to the bus stop outside the nearest pub.

On seeing you quoted me, Mike, I wondered when I posted here, 5 years ago, crikey!

I don't think I've caught a service bus since that post, mind!

A mile to the nearest pub? What sort of bus stop is that?

It is like the Bermuda Triangle for pubs here. Three pubs all a mile away but only one on a bus route. I remember being in Constable Country round Flatford Mill where the detailed bus timetable listed the main stops in each village. Every stop was also the pub. With only two buses a day the route did not lend itself to a pub crawl by bus.

Only a hundred yards further to the pub than the bus stop, about 1.5 miles ,
I don't walk to get the bus.....

[Trainfish]

0.2 miles in opposite directions to my nearest 2 pubs although I prefer to walk 0.5 miles to the British Lion. I worked it out when we moved house from 1 side of town to the other, it's now 60 yards less to the British Lion. Not that it was a deciding factor on location, honest

Another enforced bus stop break.

Well, it seems like I am in the small % of the population who suffers from "Paxlovid kickback." In other words, the 5 days I spent taking the foul tasting bullets, didn't totally wipe out the covid. I felt a little bit off on Monday, and sure enough, tested positive when I checked meself.

So, back into the isolation bedroom I went. Checked again this morning, still positive. So on doctor's orders, I had a PCR test at a local drive in.

Mrs B seems to be fully recovered, and I can't say I really feel sick. Anyway, I hope it's sorted soon, cos as much as I like Doctor Who, there's only so many old episodes I can sit through in a day

at a local drive in.

A Drive in or a Drive Thru? We all know what's opposite the bus stop 

Anyway, I hope you get sorted soon. Mine took a little while..........



Pretty sure there was another after those 

[Bealman]

Thanks, John. My PCR yesterday was positive, of course. The annoying thing is I feel my normal self (which is probably a worry in itself), but I'm stuck in this bloody bedroom.

And I'm so over Doctor Who

And I'm so over Doctor Who 

At least Beal is pretty close to Huddersfield, so you'll be ok with the accent 

Hope you get negative soon.
