    [Music] 1980's Best Number 1 Single World Cup Round THIRTEEN

    But - apart from the common factor of long hair - what's that got to do with The Final Countdown by Europe? Don't think anyone much was particularly into long haired Swedish soft rock, until Europe came along.

    Latest Southern farce

    Yes, I live in Chi and the lack of decent late trains back from Victoria is right pain. Alteratives are mad dash for 22:32, paying an arm and leg for SWT route via Havant with taxi back on the last leg, leaving car somewhere en route with a decent service and sober drive home or as a last resort...

    Latest Southern farce

    For the Victoria to Worthing/Eastbourne service, no. For Brighton line, what is changing is that the 1am and 4am Vic to Brighton are cancelled. There is an extra 01:05 from Blackfriars to Brighton to compensate and there already was an 04:05 and 04:35 from Blackfriars, which are both retained...

    Gov't: 'No case' for BML2

    Horsham has four platforms now and Dorking has three. The loop platforms (i.e the ones to the side) are used for turning round (reversing) terminating trains rather than for fasts to overtake flows. The platform on the north side is used for Horsham - Dorking - Epsom - Victoria trains and the...

    U.K. Holidays or Abroad ?

    Have been abroad a lot in last few years and have a couple of Belgian beer trips planned (April and June) so makes sense if my next one is UK based, whether it works out any cheaper or not, probably not. Skye and the Western Isles are stunningly beautiful. I've been to Lewis/Harris a couple of...

    we've got 99 problems > the ifour christmas quiz 2016

    Thank you! Back after a couple of days away, resumed on 96, picked up Barbie from the "location" clue earlier, then realised there was a 4th one on the calendar which I hadn't realised was a band name but should have tried anyway. Then this picture was driving me insane and nobody seemed to...

    we've got 99 problems > the ifour christmas quiz 2016

    Thanks, these things always seem distressingly obvious when the penny finally drops! In this case i'm seriously concerned about my memory, as I have their debut album on vinyl and even went to see them live at Brixton Academy. Probably haven't listened to them since the 90's though, but still...

    Still haven't got that one. Could you provide a clue? Although searching around it did remind me of this classic tune from Phoenix Nights OEXxdWtC9t8 On 87 now

    we've got 99 problems > the ifour christmas quiz 2016

    That's not right, sounds more like the answer for the yellow faces on the sofa. The melon is wearing the same type of black specs as Stevie Wonder or Ray Charles does. I'm still struggling with this, despite the various clues in this thread, have tried every band name I can find with Damage or...

    Southern Rail STRIKE details

    Isn't this also because Southern/GTR have moved from running services as either wholly DOO or wholly driver + guard to maximising the use of DOO on the Brighton Mainline by changing operating methods/staffing at the station nearest the point where trains join/leave the mainline? So whilst a few...

    O/T Edinburgh

    Went to Edinburgh on a long weekend for the Scottish real ales festival last July. Brilliant city, outstanding architecture and setting and lovely people. Great pubs and bars, of which more later. Only downside is it's so touristy it's getting almost as pricy as London. Stayed at the...
