Hmm, I just wondered how the drivers were able to tell which set of teeth were theirs, when they fished them out, did they have to try and see which set fitted best? "No, this set's definitely not mine, Give me another set to try'.

Not a film or tv, but I found this on Youtube, the 70th VJ Day commemoration. Recites the poem very well, doesn't he?

Yes, that has really made my day, a Hampden in 1/48! It should of course be in two variants, including the torpedo bomber, and perhaps a Hereford? (Yes, I do want jam on it!)

14 for me, wit;h a couple of guesses. Can't help thinking I should have done better

From EBay, Fine Moulds F-14A Tomcat in the IRIAF boxing. Certainly looks a cracking kit in the box, hope I can do it justice!

Very nice, I've just completed one in Condor Legion markings which I'm mustering up the courage to put on here. Is the missing piece the starboard foot step? I managed to chop the bottom off mine removing it from the sprue!

Bit skinny for my taste 😁 Nice piece of modelling and painting there 👍

If you want an autobiography by someone with an ego the size of a planet, then try David Bailey, 'Look Again', it really is quite remarkable. According to Bailey, he and Jean Shrimpton invented the '60's, which only about 160 people 'got'. Also by 1964 it was all over, the rest was just for tourists. Still he was a pretty good studio photographer 😁

That's an outstanding piece of work, lovely job all round!

I think I need new glasses, I read the title as ' Mahatma Gandhi dies aged 85'!

Why is it that cats always have that 'Did I give you permission to take my picture' look?

Now that's an interesting looking beast! Curiously attractive, though.

Possibly the latter, to get people's attention.

One of my favourite books, that I first read well over fifty years ago, is 'Freedom The Spur' by Gordon Instone. Instone was a gunner in the Territorial Army, captured at Calais. He escaped from the POW column marching to Germany and was aided by French civilians, eventually reaching Spain via Paris and Marseilles. Once in Spain he was interned in a Spanish concentration camp before being freed and returning to the UK via Gibraltar. I still have the original paperback, but also managed to get a hardback copy. (I prefer hardbacks, so I suppose that makes me a book snob. Please don't judge me!)

Best to let the pan cool down first.

Bacon on a buttered bap. I always get one from Asda when I'm doing my Saturday morning s;hop, if they don't have them, as sometimes happens, there's a bakery in town that does them. Lovely!

For me it's 'Quatermass and the Pit', 1967, and the tv serial from 1958. Nigel Kneale was a great writer!

I'd really like to see someone try to put that gear on a cat!

Only read Sword of Honour so far, but will certainly be reading more. There is a copy of Handful of Dust somewhere in the house, my daughter did it at college, I just have to find it! Thanks for the head;up on Decline and Fall, I've ordered it from Amazon.

I'm reading the Sword of Honour trilogy by Evelyn Waugh and really enjoying it, it's a superb piece of work. I'd never read anything by Waugh before as I wasn't sure I would enjoy it, but how wrong can you be? It's a very funny book (or books, to be pedantic!), particularly the story of Apthorpe's thunderbox and Brigadier Ritc;hie-Hook's involvement. I do have a vague memory of the BBC adaptation from 1967, with Edward Woodward as Guy Crouchback, but it is very vague. Also interesting is the introduction, by Angus Calder, with details of Waugh's military service, which was not altogether distinguished. At one point, Calder writes, Waugh's commanding officer had to post a guard on Waugh's quarters to protect him from his own men!

Here in Barnsley is's ''gooing rahnd tarn' Any other variations?

Still off topic, the reason I wouldn't watch this series is because I've read the books. Couldn't possibly compare with the books.

Maybe one of the BM massive is a member of the Cheyenne nation and could elucidate for ;us 😁 Anyway, something else that really annoys me is when someone is said to 'double down' on something. What's wrong with ''repeats'?

I'll have one!

Is that the aircraft that used to be at the Museum of Army Transport, in Beverley? Often saw it when passed the museum driving to Bridlington, but never actually visited it.
