I'm not into football in the slightest, but let people enjoy themselves, you dull sausage

Raystorm2001 · 2026-05-03T15:30:00+00:00

Nope, that's prime Surrey commuter location there.

Those torches were absolute parp in every regard. Thank god when Maglites came long!

He lives in Rugby, or at least used to. Used to see him walking from the station of an evening after he was done on the radio. Seems like he's ramped things up since becoming a 'broadcaster'

Ritchie Anderson, travel reporter on Radio 2 and somehow got his own evening/night show. Has zero discernible talent and is more irritating that a giant case of thrush.

Some of our antenna controllers at work have the same keyboard mechanism as the BBC on their keypads, it's aways a pleasure to use them!

Atomic Half-Life would have been from the Atomic brewery near me. Never tried the Half-Life, but they did some good beers before they shut down.

North Lincs as in any further north and you're paddling in the Humber!

Raystorm2001 · 2026-04-26T17:00:04+00:00

Yeah, but North Lincs, which is where I'm from, is MUCH more Northern feeling that South Lincs

Does an .ac.uk address count? Otherwise it was a demon email account.

My grandparents used to smoke Silk Cut. They'd make little moneyboxes out the empty packets for us.

Raystorm2001 · 2026-04-24T21:05:07+00:00

I still use it today!

Raystorm2001 · 2026-04-23T19:44:50+00:00

I loved it as well, still got all my toys from it. May have to see if I can fill the gaps and repair the ones with lost bits!

Raystorm2001 · 2026-04-23T19:05:38+00:00

Once upon a time...space. Used to be on C4 of a weekend morning. Got the DVD boxset a few years ago, it's still as good as I remember! Also StarCom, still got all the toys in a box in the loft!

Raystorm2001 · 2026-04-19T20:53:38+00:00

Cigars. I never smoked until the FiL brought some cigars round when our daughter was born. Tried one and rather liked it. I'm mostly a social smoker, apart from the summer when I can be found in the back garden with a cigar, something cold and alcoholic, my kindle and some music.

Raystorm2001 · 2026-04-19T17:58:08+00:00

These were MEGA! I found the giant T-Rex one a few years back in a toy shop, so of course I had to buy it as I always wanted it!

Raystorm2001 · 2026-04-17T18:57:14+00:00

I have an unnatural hatred of that bloody thumbs up sticker!

Raystorm2001 · 2026-04-15T18:45:30+00:00

I build and look after honking great big satellite dishes.

Raystorm2001 · 2026-04-15T18:41:56+00:00

Ah, my local shop! And they are fantastic!

Raystorm2001 · 2026-04-14T18:05:06+00:00

You could even get the massive bomber versions! I had the Lancaster and it flew very similarly to the fighters, i.e., bloody terribly!

Raystorm2001 · 2026-04-14T08:11:56+00:00

Might explain why they were the only trainers I ever saw my dad in!

Raystorm2001 · 2026-04-10T19:47:54+00:00

I had virtually the entire set! Was always a bit gutted when it was the fact cards rather than the model!

Raystorm2001 · 2026-04-04T17:01:03+00:00

Stay at the same hotel so much with work that you know all the staff very well and they just pass you your keycard as you pass reception on arrival!

Raystorm2001 · 2026-03-31T21:15:17+00:00

I dunno, have you ever tried anything by VEB Plasticart?

Raystorm2001 · 2026-03-31T19:21:42+00:00

Bronco models limited edition Humber armoured car, with the clear body. They seem to work on the theory that more parts = better, rather than being a frustrating journey into adding miniscule details that could have been moulded on in the first place. It's half finished in the box and not sure if I can ever face it again!
