Hi Del, I'm doing a project and looking for images of the typical type of information signage one might of found knocking around a 'circa 1950's' Irish railway station. Ticket office, parcels, toilets . . that type of thing. I've been searching online for ages but not getting much inspiration. I'd ...

Nudder model railway related vid for you Del, but don't think Marks Model would "put the kettle on" for me. The second half of the video is more relevant. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFhYKhxnWVI Well, certainly not in Hawkins Street shop. Was in Marks Models in Cork, the fellas behind ...

Glad that Ireland's audience is too small for Piers the gobshyte

The other excuse for retaining first class is having attendants who would staff it for the experience they can put in their CV for when graduating to positions in 5* Hotels here, like Drumoland castle. Or if they "side move" to healthcare.

Because that is all "First Class" or Premiere class can hope to imitate. At least in economy premium on an airline, the attendants will be slightly more human to you. Just slightly. And to be completely fair I was given a nice chocolate sweet on my last first class journey on northern rail...

Not forgetting Ukraine's sanctification / veneration/ canonization of weapons like challenger 2 and leopard. And the holy F16

No difference to the actual battlefield at all.this idolization Looks silly now.

Plus ça change ...stuff like the kefuffle at RTE is meaningless in such circles who only regard such drivel as for the little people.

Mine would be the Marvellous Defeat Actually I stole that from the last war novel Sven Hassel was supposed to write before he crooked - sadly he instructed that the notes were to be destroyed. I was defeated by companies like Asus and Apple and of course got badly burned in the eircone shares debacle.

I already did that with Boring Ireland. I'm in the middle of moving house and once that's completed I am settling into finishing my memoirs and the mornings will be given over to scribbling and typing with a lot less time for Newstalk. :mrgreen: >> Arts and Crafts > Creative Writing Come on now del...

Yeah I am cynical about top sport.

Emporer palpetine would highly approve of you.

I was once contacted by the local radio station to offer a perspective on Ireland playing le foot (aka soccer) ... I told them I didn't think it was a thing. :P Slight relief. But just have to look at most Android smartphone adverts here - the tenuous link between sport and device don't worry the c...

Don't go near Algeria:
In their own "professional" perspective the Algerian coastguards were doing their job.

From 1997 at least, Rough Guide and Lonely Planet printed pocket guides specifically warned against entering Algeria as a Tourist, in their publications about Morocco.
