Running low on spices, need to do a run to the hippy place, but they don't open Sundays... I don't drive on Saturdays.

Had to start using random crap. Added ginger to a chicken and rice dish. Heat and ginger, Amazeballs. No idea what I used it in before.

Cool @Lamp, but I wish they'd done the version where they'd put the sound from the station in, rather than what they'd recorded.

It boggles my mind that we still need some guy sitting there pressing stop and go. Just put a fucking computer in it.

Fuck it, have both. Rather there needs to be two points of failure than just one.

Going civilised camping tomorrow, they have showers ffs. Mate is powering a TV off his EV for the football on Saturday. I look forward to texting him when I get home, asking him how long he has left to charge.

As with most things it is down to cost. From what I've read the signal was fitted only with the older AWS system and not with the newer TPWS system. The trouble with AWS is that you get warnings with both amber and red signals which the driver must acknowledge otherwise the brakes will be applied. TPWS would have stopped the train. It does surprise me that a busy railway line like that doesn't have TPWS fitted to all signals.

Please remember that this is only an interim report, we don't know all of the facts yet.
