Nothing wrong with watching kids programs but as I didn't have any around me who were watching it I never even saw a few minutes. I just happened to know that Ringo Starr had narrated it.

The books were about since the 60’s I think? Ringo was the first narrator of the tv series. When he jacked in they got another Scouser. It was all model railways at first. But now it’s all CGI. Not the same for a Hornby fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the train questions, what colour is James off Thomas the Tank engine? ? I don’t think you take my sport seriously? Pah...theres a point I left on the table!

Wolfie Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 I'm not going to be able to make it this week, unfortunately. Apparently it's not the done thing on our 10th Anniversary or some such nonsense. I would quite like to get to 11 years, though...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkFruitsRam7 Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 I’m now visiting my sister (outside) in London on Saturday, so I’m not sure whether I’ll be back in time. I have prepared some good questions though just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sage Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Quick reminder that anyone doing the quiz has to bring 10 questions with you (though we may only do 5 depending on numbers) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ssshhh, if I say too much, she might remember about the Eternity ring "promise" I apparently made and which has not been mentioned in quite a while. I may lose this battle but I'm still in the war.
