squeaky guinea pig

A few days ago I answered a question from an American who was planning a trip to Europe. I know this is a statement rather than a question, but I neglected to mention at the time, which I should have done, that there is a rail pass called Inter Rail which allows you to travel by train in 30 countries. The youth pass for 1 month costs around £400 (about $800), which sounds like a lot until you realise that if you use it regularly you are likely to clock up $800 worth of travel in less than a week, let alone a month. For those with a slimmer budget, there are cheaper passes for shorter periods and also for just one country.

Friend, I hope you're reading this. Bon Voyage.

Does anyone know if there is a detailing kit to adapt the Bachmann UK 00 scale GC ROD 2-8-0 to the GWR version (brass safety valve bonnet, brass cabside number plates, etc.)?

A man goes into a police station in East Berlin, and asks the officer for a pass to go to the West.

'You don't need one any more,' replies the officer, 'the wall's come down. Just walk across.'

The man leaves. Half an hour later he is back.

'I want a pass to go to the West.'

'I told you just now,' replies the officer, you don't need one any more. The wall has come down.'

The man leaves again. Half an hour later he is back again.

'I want a pass to go to the West.'

'Look,' says the officer, his temper by now beginning to get a bit frayed, 'this is the third time you've asked this in an hour, and I'm telling you for the last time, the wall has gone, you don't need a pass, just walk across.'

'I know that', replies the man.

'Then what's the problem?'

'It's just that I can't hear it often enough'.

Is he immortal? Most people die as a result of lynching. Does Mr Griffin understand English? Or is he out to pervert the language to his own devices?

I have 2 guinea pigs. I feed them a mixture of dried food and fresh veg., i.e. carrots, parsnips, green cabbage, spinach, apples.

Are turnips OK?

These are British Nazis active in Bristol, UK. What are you doing to stop them?

In the UK a Christian nurse has been suspended after a patient complained when she offered to say a prayer.

I think this is overreacting - and I'm not a Christian, I'm agnostic. It's against a nurse's ethic to promote causes unconnected with healing, or for personal gain. However this was a genuine attempt to promote the welfare of the patient. There was no gain for the nurse involved. What about Christian orders (like the Poor Clares and the Sisters of Mercy) who are both carers and devotees?

Of course not everyone is a religious believer and if I were ill and a nurse offered to pray for me, I'd politely decline. But I wouldn't want to see the nurse disciplined just for that.

Mønti Pythøn ik den Hølie Gräilen

It means, 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail'.

I think it's Icelandic - am I right?

It all started a few years ago. I was surfing on the net and I came across this forum called, Yahoo! Answers, R&S.

Just out of curiosity, I tried posting.

At first I was shocked by the replies I got, but as time went on, I began to feel more at ease in the company of other Y!A R&S users.......

Rock music is not the instrument of Satan. Even if he existed, and I doubt very much whether he does, music would not be the way he connected to people.

Now who am I????

... in the heat of religious debate that is going on; everyone fighting their own corner. Surely there has to be a better way?

Like a train heading full-speed for the buffers, no-one seems to care - or do they?
