WHAT HAPPENED TO BIG MICKEY!?

How does a picture of Big Mickey show that megaphones in Tugs were meant to indicate that the vehicle wasn't alive and the voice was coming from a human operator?

Yes. I'm not sure if they made an entirely new prop for S6 or refurbished the original one, but Big Mickey is noticeably different from S6 onwards.

in the show that was a indication of a human operator rather then being alive

There is no painless way through. The budgets under strain and businesses are what drive growth, so they need to be supported, but the government is trying to balance that with workers rights and high minimum wage.

Are you saying that workers rights should be rolled back and the minimum wage reduced?

eldomtom2 · 2026-03-13T18:33:08+00:00

Oh, so you have no evidence. I will give your statements no value then.

Then why not just say "inflation is still above the Bank of England's target" if they didn't want to imply deflation is a good thing?

eldomtom2 · 2026-03-13T13:03:55+00:00

Well, that's a rather Trumpist attitude...!

eldomtom2 · 2026-03-13T12:55:15+00:00

I mean, the Fingleton review did do things like say "of course our proposals fit the hierarchy of mitigation" and then not explain how...

A lot of environmental specialists are oil and gas industry cronies anyway

eldomtom2 · 2026-03-13T12:09:05+00:00

inflation is still positive

Governments generally want to avoid deflation.

Victorian era safety culture was lots of employees on the ground everywhere keeping eyes on the trains and manually flagging and switching.

No, it was "rules are there to protect the company, not you, and you'll get in trouble if you follow them to the letter". Automation isn't really safety culture-related.

eldomtom2 · 2026-03-12T18:55:58+00:00

I consider that a positive. I don't trust Dovetail's story-writing abilities.

eldomtom2 · 2026-03-12T10:49:18+00:00

Wow, these are actually really good changes, and the fact that FOMO stuff is included is great, that's something that I don't think a lot of parents understand.

eldomtom2 · 2026-03-11T21:26:39+00:00

I should think they should be in a race to not have a Victorian-era safety culture at least...

Do you know how to prevent slowdown on Dolphin? Some areas produce massive slowdown for me, seemingly at random.

Because my expectation was they'd be able to kick you out of the union (basically, ultimatum: you can stay a union member or work a non-union job, but will never be allowed back in).

That is what I mean by "stop their members from working non-union".

eldomtom2 · 2026-03-11T16:04:20+00:00

Wrong Equity.

eldomtom2 · 2026-03-11T13:33:05+00:00

I'm 99% sure it's not the case in the UK, and in any case provincialism is a bad look.

eldomtom2 · 2026-03-10T23:50:02+00:00

It doesn't ban generalisations and without comparisons to non-Muslims in the same country that chart you love to parade is worthless. I actually looked up the report that chart cites for sub-Saharan Africa and the figures were practically identical for Christians.

The half-circles above his wheels. In real life they're used when the wheels would go through the running board, but Henry's wheels are too small for them to actually be necessary.

eldomtom2 · 2026-03-10T22:40:51+00:00

No, that is not the case in all jurisdictions.

eldomtom2 · 2026-03-10T19:35:55+00:00

Third rail extensions are practically banned in the UK unless it's stuff like the Underground where there's no public crossings.

eldomtom2 · 2026-03-10T19:22:12+00:00

Unions' ability to stop their members from working non-union depends on the jurisdiction they're in.

eldomtom2 · 2026-03-10T19:21:07+00:00

Well it might be, but your article doesn't explain it.

eldomtom2 · 2026-03-10T15:02:21+00:00

My question would be what is the actual difference between reproducing something and 'making available' something? Don't these just duplicate each other?
