seatsixtyone: The Deccan Queen is the premier train between Mumbai & Pune, or Bombay-Poona as Spike Milligan would have known it, born in Pune in 1918. The DQ has just got new swank cars with electric sigris (I admit I had to look up 'sigri' - I've learnt a new word!).

Perhaps I could pull a Spike Milligan and get it done in Gaelic or something so it wouldn't offend people.
DemonJim: Fun film fact: Despite being in the key demographic in the mid 80s, I have still never seen The Goonies. I always thought it was a Spike Milligan / Peter Sellers film (even more reason to watch it) and was well into adulthood before realising my error. Do I win £5?
