(KS) Stick to the Morniverse. We're a bit mad but we're not weird.

I had a beer delivery today. Came in three boxes. I've already got dozens of boxes. Fortunately, boxes make good cat fortresses. And these days I've got enough boxes for the most epic cat fortress ever. In fact, as I joked to the delivery driver, I could do the whole Maginot Line.

Although I suppose strictly speaking it would be a Moginot Line.

[KagomeShuko] There are people/bots who replicate your fb account (photo, bio etc.) then "friend" all you know claiming your original account was hacked, then spam/phish them.

[Simons Mith] Watch out for German Shepherds sneaking round the side.

Standing in Cologne railway station lookat a train with "National Express" on the side, and wondering if I have travelled in time as well as space.

(Bis) Was it a steam train?

[Rosie] Nope, just an emu. Though there was a preserved steam train in Hanover.

Emus can't even fly, let alone pull trains.

When I was in middle school, I had a student teacher who had gone to Australia. She said that emus weren't smart at all and would run straight into fences, not even TRYING to miss them.

Electric Multiple Units, like their Diesel Multiple Units counterparts, are trains with no locomotive and localised (one or more motorised carriages pull one or more non-motorised carriages) or distributed (all carriages have motors), all controlled from a driving position at either end of the train.

I did my initial trainspotting on the Oxted line. Bloody Fairburn 2-6-4T's but their exhaust could blow your ears off.

[Rosie] I think we all need some proof of this aural sectioning that you experienced...
