The Flying Scotsman

[Edwardoka]

I don't know who this, but it isn't the Flying Scotsman.
I can say this with confidence as I briefly met Graeme at the sportive that bears his name. A lovely bloke, but looks nothing like a train (although he has been known to move like one...)

About 10 years ago, before the recent refit, the FS used to do a York to Scarborough run in the summer evenings and pass through my village, so I would ride out on my bike to watch it on it's return journey.
There was a particular gate I would wait at, where you could hear it approaching from miles away, then see it coming round a bend about quarter of a mile down the track, then hurtle past 10 feet from where I was standing.
The sights, sound's and smells were amazing. Something I will always remember.

It's a bit lost. It should be going from London to Edinburgh via York and Newcastle.

Just watched James May rebuilding the Hornby version on tv last night.

Nice but you need a new phone smokey.

This is meant for the jokes page but since you're about, Cyclops, I thought it might be better on here.

So here goes.

Cyclops asks his wife "How do you spell Hawaii?" and she says "well you'll need two 'i's to which he replies, "you just never bloody take me seriously, do you?"

And with that, I'll get me coat!

By the way @PaulB it's Cycleops not Cyclops.








I've just got the joke. Nice try though.
