He is, in the OO section!!!!!

I'm glad this emoticon is here... ...because words fail me. Superb stuff!

That should come as no surprise to most of us here... well done Paddy Murphy!

The Eddie Stobart rumours have been doing the rounds for quite some time. It'd be nice to see it happen, but at this stage I'll believe it when I see it...

I'd be interested to know the background behind that bogie tank... has a very American look to it.

Interesting. Thanks for the link, Broithe!

Only one of many cases he'll be at the centre of now. Delighted for him.

I think there was a photo posted here not so long ago of that weedkiller being hauled by a Sulzer, but for the life of me I can't remember exactly where...

The same man once blamed a dip in the team's form on the fact the players no longer sat down together for a slice of toast in the mornings before training... and when asked in a takeaway if he wanted his pizza cut into eight slices he said "no, cut it into four because I'm not that hungry."

Rich, maybe it's another incident I'm thinking of, but I seem to remember he took the penalty and sent it wide...

Folks, on page 2 of this thread I posted a photo of the new logo as found on a poster in Longford station earlier today. It's definitely real.

Saw that story yesterday... fair play to him!

Just saw my first 'in the flesh' example in Longford: Bring back the flying snail! (Edit: sorry for the sideways pic. On my mobile and can't fix it)

Yikes! I'm almost glad the baby GMs are all withdrawn... at least they won't have to suffer wearing that!

It's surprising, but it's definitely happening... it's been on the cards for some time.

Well, something needed to be done in this instance because IÉ's corporate branding has been all over the place for some time. The 'plug and socket' was pretty much pushed aside... it's nowhere to be found on the exterior of the 22ks, 201s, De Dietrichs, etc., and it's missing from a lot of station signage. It would've been pretty straightforward to 'get the house' in order without having to go for a complete re-design, though. What's even more bizarre is that they chose to do this so soon after the delivery of the last batch of 22ks, meaning some of them will probably spend less than 12 months in the livery they were delivered in!

IÉ have replaced the 'plug and socket' with a 'double arrow'-type logo. (Spotted it earlier on one of the new timetable PDF files: http://www.irishrail.ie/media/01A-DublinCork1.pdf) Should be appearing on rolling stock soon enough. Personally, I think it's bloody horrible...

From the horse's mouth: http://www.nowthisnews.com/news/lance-armstrong-to-oprah-i-doped-during-tour-de-france-victories/ He admits taking EPO, blood transfusions, testosterone, and other performance enhancers. There is something unnervingly psychopathic about Armstrong and the way he has dealt with all this, including this interview... even now he seems unrepentant, only feeling sorry because he was caught.

More likely to happen when it's an all-new design... teething problems, etc.

Brilliant idea! This line really confused me, because St Pauli aren't in the Bundesliga at the moment. Then I looked at the date...
