Their trying to revive the railways in the valleys by converting it all to electric and having some new trains running more frequently and laying new track to Merthyr and other valleys to convert it into a twin track something they ripped out in the 90's fucking tools 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slowlycatchymonkey Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Been busy sorting out Christmas this morning (yes I mentioned Christmas in September shoot me) and for the first time in decades I'm doing something different. This year we're having two Christmas' (yep greeeedy) one in Spain where we'll all fly out on the 17th Dec and then return just in time for the real deal which we're having at the boys place. I've booked a nice restaurant just across the road from where they live so not a lot of cooking (on that day anyway) and then we'll return back home Boxing Day and resume the traditional stuff. The flights are booked, the hire car's booked, the kennels are booked, a pop up Christmas tree for Spain is ordered and tbh I'm so excited (and a little bit nervous) to be doing something other than the usual slog that I've got mild butterflies 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the UK the madness is contained to a much shorter space of time preceded by nothing and followed by nothing save a minor blip of a holiday at Easter, in Spain it’s just the next lot of excuses used to run a continual fiesta/siesta Still now I’ve found the supermarket run by the chinese party poopers I don’t have to concern myself with the constant shutting down, they work all the hours god sends! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That shit would have been made in China and the chinese crap is not liking the Indian motorcycle. That wasn't third world bashing as China is a first world enconomy ....................... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
