The Boat That Guy Built
I’ve just found the entire series of “The Boat That Guy Built” available in one block on You Tube,
Enjoy two blokes fecking about on a boat, narrated by the sexist voice in the UK: Liza Tarbuck!
The JAGverse
In the beginning the was Bellisario and the Void. And Bellisario looked upon the Void and the darkness and proclaimed “Let there be JAG”, and thus there was JAG.
Tait 8110 Radio
N Gauge Gardale Layout
This is my 2nd model rail project. I started this when I had a bit more space available than for the first one, but progress has been slow. Mainly because of the cat.
How To Order A Taxi by Phone
I originally wrote this about 15 years ago, before I even bothered with a website. But as the pubs will be open again soon, it need reiterating.
Going Straight: On the Wrong Track
The pilot episode of “Going Straight” (sequel to “Porridge“) was the show that started me off on finding errors in TV shows when it came to their depiction of railways and trains, and Stafford.
Fleetwood Street OO Model Tramway
Fleetwood Street is the 3rd of my model rail projects. It was never supposed to be operational, just a roughly 3 metre long shelf to display my collection of Corgi/Atlas trams. Then I realised that I didn’t have a 3m stretch of un-interupted wall space, so knocked it down to about 1.5m
Timetable Project
Some years ago, I decided that I wasn’t completely happy with having to carry printed timetables, or having to scroll though big PDF files while chasing Trams on my visits to the Blackpool Tramway.
I figured that it would be better to be able to access the timetables on my phone. As I was incapable of creating Apps for both the Android and iPhone platforms (seriously, have you seen what you have to do to become a developer for iOS?), I decided to do it as a mobile-friendly formatted web page. How hard could it be?
What if The Arkenstone was a Silmaril?
Right, this is going to be a long, rambling text about The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, and The Silmarillion.
The Lord of the Rings was a actually a long text about two hobbits going rambling, but that is not the point here.
If you don’t want to read my badly thought through notions about some overly long books (and a quite short book that was made into three over long films), then look away now.
