As one of my friends says - "you are insured for everything but a claim!"

and we all know how in-sewer-ants shower will do anything to avoid paying out!

I remember sneaking a camera into a gig years ago - around 1990 I'd say. I cleaned condensation off the viewfinder, but not the lens! Looked all good through the viewfinder, but all shots came back like I was standing in a fog bank!

Inclined Plane is the term with respect to railway wagons linked by cable, isn't it?

Kids these days will never know the pain of not being able to preview pics, and having to pay a fair whack for a couple of dozen shots!

The gobshite...

I read about the launch of this site, showcasing possible filming locations, and found they have a good few shots of Mullingar station. May prove useful to someone modelling the station. There are also shots of the White Bridge in Athlone. https://www.filmingwestmeath.ie/mullingar-train-station

Trump said he was going to impose mad tariffs, and the fools still voted for him... That being said, they were probably more focused on all the racist policies he promised
