You sound like Jack Dee!

“…so I’ve asked the teams to tell us about any new stations they might have seen recently. Joe, you can start.”

I knew ‘Moin’ but hadn’t come across ‘Servus’. I feel the need for a visit to Bayern to practise using it!

Ooh, I wasn't too far from you.
One of my favourite pieces but I think it's the first time I've heard it live in a hall. Loved some of the subtleties in the brass that don't really come through on my recordings. Found the epilogue very moving.

My animal-spotting adviser, based nearby, thinks you have. The cuddly bunnies right alongside the tracks are easier to spot, as long as as they have actually come out to play.

Lovely places. Making me want to go back! Do you know the music of Peter Maxwell Davies? He lived on Hoy and some of my favourites among his pieces were inspired by Hoy and particular people. "An Orkney Wedding, with Sunrise" is fun.

Nice haul! Good to see the Greater Anglia red tote bag making a comeback. I have one from when they first started - a couple of small holes now but still going strong.

Quasiunitarisationism?

We should all try to make ‘unitarisationism’ a word. And then ‘antiunitarisationism’ can come up too.

“Swallows and Amazons Forever” had a tie-in version of the two books it covered, combined and abridged. Fittingly printed in Bungay, a stone’s throw from the Rver Waveney. My well-loved copy has served two generations so far. I felt like I knew the Broads a bit, before I had ever been there.

That grey you needed?

You mean fireboxes! (Boilers surely come under the GMB…)
Is that a class 26 on the banner?

I feel your pain. And greys are counterintuitively hard to mix your own shades with. A problem when you build model warships.

BOSS: Congratulations, Sgt Sands, your promotion has been approved. Just one thing though.
SGT: I’m going to need a deed poll, aren’t I?
BOSS: It’ll avoid so much trouble.
