2020 should see the final Class 142 railbuses removed from the national rail network after a remarkable 35 years of service. Much criticised in recent years, the 142s cannot be regarded as anything less than successful - at least in commercial terms, providing a low-cost solution to local passenger services that surely has outlined its design life by a comfortable margin. Sadly, the passenger experience won it few friends. I recall my one and only ride on a brand new but rough riding unit, with rattling doors and cramped 3+2 seating. - but I did like the livery, which I have reproduced here on a unit photographed many years later (updated 30-Mar-20).

" "Class envy," far as I can tell, is just a rhetorical cliché used to discount political arguments that attack social inequity as being merely a manifestation of envy. "Class envy" isn't a concept of any historic substance, like, say, "class consciousness" or "free market." "
Interesting tussle over the term here :

Model; Alee Stark. During math class we had to fly kites we made for a project. My kite broke and something happened to hers, so we just took pictures. That always solves my problems.

The Sovremenny class destroyer is the principal anti-surface warship of the Russian Navy. The Soviet designation for the class was Project 956 Sarych (Buzzard).
Its primary role is to attack enemy warships while also providing sea and air defense for warships and transports under escort. It complements the Udaloy-class destroyers in anti-submarine operations.
It was used in the sovjet navy, later until today in the russian navy and China bought some vessels too, which are still in use there.
Have a look at the complete album.
03 078 at Berwick-upon-Tweed. Before the demise of wagonload freight, even some relatively small stations had a shunting loco, this example being for shunting Tweedmouth yard. The 03 class was once a common sight in eastern England where duties were less onerous and would not justify a more powerful 08. Seen on 2 June 1984.
Poetry Class.
(AAHHHH Poetry Sucks!)
Sitting on the floor of the first day of class.
So this is how you learn to become a poet?
I wait none the less for the arrival of the teacher /guru.
Call him or her what you may.
Wow I have to come here 3 times a week.
3 hours per class.
O well if that is what it takes to become a poet.
So many rules.
On how not only how to write a simple sentence.
But how to compose a poem,
After listening to all the rules on how to write a poem.
I forget what I wanted to say.
You have to put a period here.
Capitalize this letter.
So many writing rules.
and this is only in the first few minutes of class.
I excuse myself to go to the bathroom.
Only to never return again,
I quickly head down to a local watering hole.
To hang around the true poets,
of the true world,
With mud and dirt still on their hands.
I don't want to read the Whitmans,
the Byrons,
What the hell is a Chaucer?
The new poets that now sit with me,
ask with whiskey on the collective breaths,
so how was poetry class?
I say with blood shot eyes ,
(AAHHHH Poetry Sucks!)
