I can still recite "My Blanket is Blue" the entire book, word for word that DS insisted on hearing every night about six years ago! he was never a big fan of Thomas but now it's all Roahl Dahl which is quite entertaining.Mortgage OP 2025 £6250/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

There was an engine attached to a train
Who was afraid of a few drops of rain
He went into a tunnel
Squeaked through his funnel
And never came out again...
For 100 points which engine was it?
No - I didn't look it up on google, I have 2 younger brothers who were Thomas mad!!!Previous debt: £14K :embarasse Debt free: Sept '03

I was even more of a FF fan (and Secret Seven...although not so much) than a Thomas fan - In fact, I do actually still have the full set of FF books on my bookshelf

everyone says that about secret seven, we all read them but never sure why - they were rubbish in comparison. DS was reading a FF book during the summer but it doesn't translate well to these days and he was putting on posh voice and laughing a lot.Mortgage OP 2025 £6250/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

You could always "re-interpret them" for modern days. Make sure their fake burberry caps are matching, and one of them is permanently pregnant..."Follow the money!" - Deepthroat (AKA William Mark Felt Sr - Associate Director of the FBI)
