2024-05-07 16:25:28 +0000 UTCEveryone should experience a freshly shaved head for the first time. I still remember the day, such liberation, such smoothness. I couldn’t stop stroking my bonce. Then the first stubble came, so satisfying. (I’m still talking about shaving my head for first time by the way).

2024-05-07 15:04:50 +0000 UTCAs you departed Peterborough I wonder if you saw the remains of the hovertrain? We were passing through on Sunday and while idly looking out the window saw this Thunderbirds reject on an elevated section of track.

2024-05-07 12:48:42 +0000 UTCBeardless people seem to think we are in a beard phase now, but beards are the norm throughout history. Its actually being clean shaven that was a short fad.

2024-05-07 10:27:41 +0000 UTCAs for the Red Arrows being in cars instead of planes to save money...., I was once taken to a country fair, where 9 blokes in red boiler suits did formation wheelbarrowing (also red). Yes, they were the Red Barrows.

2024-05-07 09:47:04 +0000 UTCHaving been prevented from growing a beard for the last 20 something years (army) until they changed the rules this Easter, I'm enjoying the beard, if only for novelty value for a while yet!

2024-05-06 17:50:15 +0000 UTCI won't add anything to the whole hair subject for obvious reasons. :-) However I should point out I was kicked off the American football team because of the two times I played I put 2 opposing players (one per game) in the hospital with concussions... So maybe I am "buff"...?

2024-05-05 21:16:24 +0000 UTCThe little guards vans on freight trains were referred to as 'brake vans' and the primary function was for the guard to assist the drivers with braking on freight trains, which until the end of the 1960s were otherwise heavily reliant on just the engine for braking effort. Brake vans became redundant with the increase in braked freight wagons and automation of railway equipment.

Steve Morton
2024-05-05 18:08:02 +0000 UTCThe moments of realization on the podcast scare me that one day Jonny and Rich will question why they do it and stop. My Monday mornings will be ruined and I'll have to work in silence.
