A teenage boy had just got his driver’s license and inquired of his fathers to when they could discuss his use of the car.

His father said he’d make a deal with his son: ‘You bring your grades up from a C to a B average, study your Bible a little, and get your hair cut. Then we’ll talk about the car.’

The boy thought about that for a moment, decided he’d settle for the offer, and they agreed on it.

After about six weeks his father said, ‘Son, you’ve brought your grades up and I’ve observed that you have been studying your Bible, but I’m disappointed you haven’t got your hair cut..’

The boy said, ‘You know, Dad, I’ve been thinking about that, and I’ve noticed in my studies of the Bible that Samson had long hair, John the Baptist had long hair, Moses had long hair….. and there’s even strong evidence that Jesus had long hair.’

To this his father replied, ‘Did you also notice that they also walked everywhere they went?

“What’s the matter, mate?” the bartender asks sympathetically.
“When I was milking my prize cow, she knocked the bucket over with her tail,” the farmer replies. “So I took off my belt and tied her tail out of the way.”
“Oh well, that doesn’t sound so bad,” the bartender says.
“No,” the farmer adds. “But then my trousers fell down and my wife walked in.”

Steam in the 21st Century

No Comments Written by whizzbang on February 3, 2010 in Film & DVD, Steam Locomotives.

The SVR won’t be fully open until March, although there is a classic Car event in February, so to tide me over until then and stop me getting withdrawal symptoms I bought this really cool 3Disc DVD boxed-set, which features The Battlefield Line, The West Somerset Railway and The Severn Valley Railway.

Disc One features The Battlefield Line during a Thomas the Tank Engine event. This line acquired it’s name when they relayed the track on part of the ground where The Battle of Bosworth Field was fought in 1485. Originally opened in 1873 the line was called The Ashby & Nuneaton Joint Railway and stayed in business until it was closed in 1970. Now Thanks to the efforts of many dedicated Rail Enthusiasts the line has been gradually reopened from Shackerstone to Shenton, and now features a wide variety of Rolling Stock including The diesel “Griffon” aswell as a museum

The Severn Valley Railway won’t be fully open again until March, 2010 although there may be trains travelling during half-term week and there is also The Classic Car Weekend in February. So to “tide-me-over” until then and stop me getting withdrawal symptoms, I have bought this really cool 3Disc DVD boxed-set, which features The Battlefield Line, The West Somerset Railway and The Severn Valley Railway.

Disc three of Steam in the 21st Century travels the sixteen miles on the picturesque Severn Valley Railway from Kidderminster via Bewdley, Arley, Highley, Hampton Loade and on to Bridgnorth

The episode tells the convoluted history of the SVR from it’s conception to it’s eventual opening in 1862 some 20 yeas later, up until it’s closure in 1963 as a result of Dr Beeching’s recommendations, and thanks to the efforts of a number of dedicated rail enthusiasts, it’s eventual reopening again in 1970 as a Heritage Line. The disc also charts the progress of the reopened Heritage line from small beginnings to the highly successful & popular tourist attraction it is today,

Locomotives featured in the DVD include Black 5 45110, Stanier 8f 48773, Ivatt class 2 46443, Stanier Mogul 42968 and GWR7802 Bradley Manor among many others. Although The Boiler tickets on both LMS 5mt 45110 and LMS 8f 48773 have both expired so they are out of traffic at the moment, Mind you Ivatt Class 4 43106 AKA “The Flying Pig” is back in traffic and No 1501 and the awesome Taw Valley are both currently being sorted among many others, so that’s something to look forward to
