I miss the original thomas & friends, when the kids weren't treated like morons. Also there was a lot of amazing modelling work involved. [IMG]http://www.pegnsean.net/~railwayseries/TVlayout.jpg[/IMG]
[QUOTE=ViralHatred;43359883]There was always Daisy the electric engine- she was quite posh but a bit lazy. As well as Mavis the diesel who is reliable and honest but suffers from OCD (She constantly rearranges trucks in the quarry). Other female engines include: Pip and Emma the Intercity 125. Rosie same model as Thomas but Lavender coloured iirc. Molly the yellow tender engine. Emily the stirling tender engine. Flora the tram. Lady the magic railway engine was "deceased" after being wrecked by Diesel 10 but was resurrected. Belle the search and rescue engine who has water cannons. Millie a french engine. Caitlin the express steam engine. There are plenty - they just get less airtime because the show is about Thomas. [editline]30th December 2013[/editline] ?Oh god I need to get a life. I look like some kind of Thomas the Tank Engine nerd now.[/QUOTE] Congrats on your new title!

Rungo Starrrrrrrxh was the best narrator.
Why does the writer/artist/whatever need to change their work to accommodate other folks ideas? Seems to me that if I felt that a certain story needed to include such-and-such elements, then I would set to work writing that story. -Or- Start the process of forcing the creator/writer to change their story to suit my desires. One would have the knock-off feel and would probably be rejected by fans of the original idea. The other would make me seem like a preachy/authoritative dick. Imagine if writers were forced to accept fan-fic into their story arcs. Everything would suck.
Good to see the Shadow Cabinet getting to grips with the important issues that are plaguing the country today. I can remember the last time I was on a train and was cursing the lack of female drivers, just yesterday infact.
Jokes on you fuckers cause trains are inanimate objects that are made out of steel and use the energy stored in fossil fuels to move their wheels. Assigning a sex to them is arbitrary and silly. You're all adults so quit whining about a kiddy show and go fix the economy.

Centre left seems to always get things out of proportion these days
