Abandonment

My blog, recently….   I’ve been on the verge of filing a petition with the Federal Railroad Administration for the abandonment of this blog. The property is in sad shape, needs extensive maintenance work, track and signal upgrades. Bridges need to be replaces, not to mention the new ones that need to be built. All…

Sundry Liberties & Free Warren

Business as usual, then….   I never visited the borough of Plumstead when I was in London…and I’m not sure if it was still called Plumstead back in those brave and terrible days of Nixon’s decline…but I am quite sure I was never there.

Running Late With Toast In Your Mouth

2015 in Review, pretty much….   If you expect a look back here, a year in review and all that dross, then your expectations are pretty much wrong. Go cry into a glass of cheap champagne on your own time. Also, if you expect any New Year’s Resolutions and similar false bravado here, well…I guess…

Look at my Fucking Red Trousers!!!!   When Roy Hodgson led his team out to play Switzerland….oh wait a minute.
