Before we reveal too much, time to steer the discussion back on topic, maybe?

I think the chance of getting any more decent puns out of this thread are medium to rare

According to the sheep in the field next  to the cows they said "ewe should be ashamed of all these puns - this thread should be flocked!

[Mookiemoo]

Well I was affected by the cows!!!!!! Had to be fetched from parkway not meads!

However ........... time to open another pun....

the next day there were horses on the line between port talbot and bridgend ............ and I was affected yet again.....

i drove yesterday and will be picked up from wales today to prevent a herd of sheep or a plague of locusts

Hmmm ... I can trace delays due to lion, sheep, cows, horses, puma, badger and deer.  Have I missed any?

We've had swans in the Exford area as well I believe.

Hopefully the bats and great crested newts won't derail Chilterns Evergreen 3 project.
Hope Justin doesnt live up to her name and that Chiltern and Nature England sort it out by the Dec 13th deadline

Hope Justin doesnt live up to her name

Being my given Christian name..... huh?

Justine Greening, I suspect ... who is Just In as the Minister of Transport in the last couple of months.

Mea culpa .... male chauvinist that i am forgot that it's Justin male and Justine female.
Grahame you were exactly right in spotting 'Greening' ...and I hope you noticed that i  I remembered the e on the end of your Christian your name ...with apologies to all the Justins/Justines among us ....!

Ah ... my name on the forum doesn't actually follow the same approach.   To help newcomers ... this is me ...



Photo actually taken to show that dying breed - a table in a train. The "E"  in on the end of my forum name is the first letter of my surname to tell me apart from all the other "Graham"s who are around on other forums - it's a name I use elsewhere as well as here.  I'm really not fussed whether I'm referred to with or without the "e"

By the way, other moderators and admins are introduced at http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/coffeeshop/index.php?topic=1780.0 .

I was once held up on an HST^▸ (High Speed Train) approaching Reading by a pigeon that had flown through an open window, as the train was moving, and was in the vestibule between First Class carriages.  We'd come to a halt anyway (we were approaching Reading after all...) and they'd obviously decided to get rid of the fare-dodger before pulling into the station. TM^‡(resolve) announced the reason for the extended pause with a tone to his voice that was somewhere between sheer annoyance and mild humour.

Does anyone else remember Dick Dastardly and Catch the Pidgeon? I was about to post the lyrics of the classics of the classic on the forum but realised it may infringe copyright
