Gosh, what an exciting life you live...

Is everyone going to live and work at either end of HS2 track? Otherwise the commuting to the ends is more wasteful in time and energy than any saving HS2 could make.

I thought I would start a list of dog friendly pubs that are either by the waterside or within a short and easy walk of moorings. Please feel free to add any of yours to the list. So for starters I will add: The White Swan, Torksey, Fossdyke The Anglers, Saxilby, Fossdyke The Sun Inn, Saxilby, Fossdyke The Pavilion, Saxilby, Fossdyke The Pyewipe Inn, Lincoln, Fossdyke Royal William, Lincoln, Fossdyke The Treaty of Commerce, Lincoln, Fossdyke The Rogue Saint, Lincoln, Fossdyke The Magna Carta, Lincoln, Fossdyke The Ferry Boat, Washingborough, River Witham Hunters Leap, Washingborough, River Witham The Thywritt Arms, Short Ferry, River Witham Riverside, Southrey, River Witham The Packet Inn, Dogdyke, River Witham The Witham Tavern, Boston, River Witham The Little Peacock, Boston, River Witham Ferry Boat Inn, Church Laneham, River Trent Brownlow Arms, High Marnham, River Trent The White Hart, West Stockwith, Chesterfield Canal Waterfront, West Stockwith, Chesterfield Canal West Stockwith yacht club, West Stockwith, Chesterfield Canal Red Hart, Misterton, Chesterfield Canal

Once again the fallacy surfaces that HS2 is simply a connection between London and Birmingham. EVERY city north of Birmingham will also benefit from faster trains using the new line as will EVERY community on the WCML south of Birminham having room on the classic lines for better services as will EVERY motorist on the M1 seeing less HGVs, much freight having been transferred from road onto the classic lines.

I agree - the role played by Medusa is out of all proportion to its small size! Imagine the grandstand view she had while the invasion fleet steamed past and thank goodness that the visibility stayed reasonably clear, otherwise there might have been a different outcome. Another small vessel that played a key role was a midget submarine - an X craft normally manned by a crew of 5 but with a couple more for this event. She acted as a radio beacon in the approach lane to a forward position off the beaches and went across to be ready initially for the planned date of 5th June. When this date was postponed for 24 hours, she submerged and spent the time sitting on the sea bed just off the beaches. Brave men, and we owe them a debt of gratitude which we should never forget.

There is a world of difference between two blokes abusing each other and a moderator posting a photo of their motorbike albeit a Yamaha

And the captain is apparently doing a Novichok stock take whilst reading about Salisbury Cathedral on Wikipedia

The crew are apparently stood on the front deck playing with Drone controllers. ....

Indeed. Use a megafuse which has bolted terminals.

My mate who is a vicar and a bit of a traditionalist likes a crisp starched cotton one but I believe white card ones are popular.

Is that Matt driving then?

Did not Know that Rats are Ticklish ,thanks

We need to be careful to avoid censure for thread drift, so just to bring the thread back on topic, apparently the warning points are falling like snowflakes tonight.

Crick/Rugby DIRFT (Daventry International Rail Freight Terminal) which is 9 miles from Daventry but 1 mile from Crick and 5 from Rugby) has approximately 500 outgoing HGV, 200 x 7.5 or 3.5t trucks and numerous courier style transits every day exiting its depots. Delivering are approx 2-300 trucks a day - in addition to the many containers delivered via rail. Allied to this are the thousands of cars and buses to transport the workers to site for 2 or 3 shifts a day(24 hours) depending on how ruthless the agencies are. There are many more(Gailey, Stafford and many more planned), one more enormous one to come is based South of Blisworth which will wreck the countryside). The country is overpopulated, overmanaged and struggling to breathe. He doesn't know what he is saying most of the time.

You need to add the Lark and the Wissey, tributaries of the Ely Ouse. And part of the relief channel from Denver towards Kings Lynn is now navigable.

And good luck with anything in East Anglia - Fens, Nene, Witham etc - where rivers move all over the place, and change their names, either due to nature or to human intervention!
