I saw the new Clangers for the first time yesterday. It is scary how none of the actors has aged at all in all these years.

An elderly Florida lady did her shopping and, upon returning to her car, found four males in the act of leaving with her vehicle. She dropped her shopping bags and drew her handgun, proceeding to scream at the top of her lungs, “I have a gun, and I know how to use it! Get out of the car!”. The...

Another Classic Steam Locomotive A former London and South Western Railway, later Southern Railway, preserved T9 Class 4-4-0 (with a Bulleid West Country or Battle of Britain Pacific behind). The T9 class, built between 1899 and 1901, had the nickname Greyhounds. This particular locomotive...
