Tree Foo Tom is another one - either him or one of his midget mates messes up and always tries to hide the truth from the others. Anyway, it has given me hours of entertainment watching my 2 year old do the Tree Foo Tom moves while wearing his sap stone utility belt. He does get disappointed when his newly discovered powers don't tidy up his toys or shut daddy up, mind.
And also wrong. If team weren't escaping...
What do you expect? They were sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. Of course these men promptly escaped.
Steam from the funnel? I think not.
I grew up on Rodborough Avenue, Stroud almost right opposite Reverend Awdry's house. I certainly don't remember him as a racist, sexist dictator. He had a brilliant train set, once a year he would open up his house to the kids on the street to go and have a go with it. Oh, and he had an Austin Maestro that he couldn't change gear in and would drive for miles revving it out in first.
EDIT: no pun intended 😀
And also wrong. If team weren't escaping, steam trains wouldn't need topping up with water...
And once more with feeling: pedantry worthy of STW 🙂
Like Moomins, I saw a critique which slated moomins for its opressive gender profiling. Look, a female character called Moominmamma, she's been reduced to a job title, her only place is to raise kids!
Shit, somebody beat me to it 🙁
Homoerotic imagery in Swallows and Amazons anyone?
The "Guardian" in talking bollocks shocker. I'd love to hear her views on Rasta Mouse, and didn't Bod used to goose step?
Steam from the funnel? I think not.
I thought a number of designs discharged exhausted steam via the funnel to create a greater draw into the firebox.
Could be wrong.
