Ah, if only trains still ran on steam and had compartments. Then we’d have something.
Lots of soot and burns?

Don’t mind long train journeys. I’d rather spend 5 hours on a train than 2 hours on an Easyjet flight with no legroom and being stuck beside a big fat alcoholic who swears at the cabin crew. I guess I’ve seen North by Northwest too many times.

Well, I’ve never had a bad experience flying. Not even ‘small child kicking the back of my seat’ bad.

Agreed.
*sighs wistfully*
We go on the Ffestiniog railway sometimes when we stay in Wales. I love it.

If trains had steam again then we’d have steam filled platforms on which mysterious figures could step out of the gloom and offer cryptic advice to the traveller. Like the good old days.
Or just stab you. Which wouldn’t make much of a difference except you wouldn’t see it coming.
In other news, apparently Billy Connolly is in the new X-Files film. Hurray!!!

My tulips are in full bloom, I need to take some pictures, but can’t be bothered to find the camera.

If I knew who Billy Connolly was, that might make an impression on me. Not that I was ever thrilled by what of the X-Files I’ve seen.

Tulips and daffodils and the like have been blooming here for a while. And my rose bush is going to bloom probably either today or tomorrow, from the look of the thing.

A little over a week ago. Darn it. I knew I should have bought the heavy-duty steel handcuffs rather than the silk ones.

Billy Connolly. You don’t know the Big Yin? Funniest comedian alive?
You, sir, make me ashamed. Amazing comedian. He’s been in a fair few films too.
According to Wikipedia he plays a priest of ‘dubious character’ in the new X-Files film. I’d have doubted this but I saw him in the trailer.
I’m now looking forward to this more than to Indiana Jones. At least I expect aliens in the X-Files.

I go for the steel ones covered in silk, so nothing is suspected until it is too late.
