Terry Tibbs, talk to me. https://preview.redd.it/nt8le280l5sd1.jpeg?width=400&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c68d41a077756872ab57bca7d479bf59a7a51fd1

Being economically fucked over

11.22.63, fantastic 8 part series about a school teacher who gets shown a time portal in the back of a diner, and the only purpose is to go back in time and stop JFK from being assassinated. It's got a good story not just focussing on the JFK timeline, but combining a good love story into it as well. I highly recommend watching it!

I once drove over a cross road at the speed limit for that road (60) and didn't even realise until I was on the other side. There were signs to say there was a cross road coming up but they were buried in tall hedgerows, and there were no cars crossing the road to even indicate there was a cross road ahead. What made it even worse was I had my mum in the car with me. As soon as I made it across I jumped on the brakes and basically leaped out the car, looking even whiter than a piece of paper and on the verge of throwing up. Suffice to say that moment has scarred me for life!

I'd donate a sizable chunk to my work. I absolutely love what I do, but the company could do with a big influx of money to get it back on track and get some major projects done to help it into the future, but I'd get some sort of contract written up to make sure it's used for those projects and not just spunked away on useless shit. Besides that, pretty much like anyone else. I'd buy a nice property, nothing big and fancy though. Something that's got enough room to build a nice garage and workshop. Pay off my parents mortgages plus some extra spending money, and a bit to help get my sister started on her career. That's about it.

I prefer the fake ones

Beamish, Black Country Museum, Blists Hill Museum,

That's hard water

Apollo 13

Ironbridge, absolutely beautiful little town and home to the industrial revolution, if you're interested in that side of history. Been there several times.

There's still quite a few boiler smith shops in the UK. Unfortunately though most have got a good 2-3 year waiting list or longer if you need work doing. And I have no idea about the history of them unfortunately.

Steam locomotive engineer. Every day is a different challenge, but it's also such a great achievement seeing it roll out of the workshop after a year or 2 of hard work looking brand new again!

2, mk1 mx5 which is my daily, it's heavily modified. And a 1987 classic mini, which was my first car, it's now being built into a road legal track car, been on the go for 8 years with no end in sight, and a house deposit worth of money dumped into it, yeah I'm kinda stupid.

Fucking love it mate

Stayed in 3 air BnB places, Wales, and twice in Belgium. All 3 places asked to just give it a once over clean and to leave it in a respectable state, and empty the bins. Didn't see any problems with doing what they asked. I know you pay a fee, but you're effectively renting someone's place, and I'd want it left in a respectable state once people are done.

Met Pete Waterman when he came to my work whilst filming a new TV show about railways. The most down to earth chap I've ever met, me and my dad ended up chatting to him for well over an hour, and he even gave us a personal invite to his place to view his model railway.

Steam locomotives and classic cars are my passion. And I work for a steam railway overhauling the locomotives and get to make parts for classic minis and other cars. Plus I get free use of the workshop for my own stuff. Best job I've ever had! Used to work in I.T building work stations and repairing apple products but it really wasn't for me

1997 mk1 mx5, although it's my daily driver, it's not used every day simply because I can walk to work, but it's faultless and never misses a beat

London's calling

The ones that actually film in a reasonable resolution, yeah great. The ones that are like a potato, waste of time and electricity.
