This could have been exciting... https://www.rte.ie/news/ireland/2019/0121/1024637-submarine-ferry-irish-sea/

I'm not that easily fooled. That's the inside of their teapot.

I worked with a chap who looked remarkably like him - to the point where I'm not sure that I can remember his real name...

Vulcans, Valiants and Victors were painted white in the early days, as 'flash-protection' from the thermonuclear explosions they might have ended up delivering - so, if you happen to be flying in a white plane when Trump or Putin finally get fed up, you have a slightly higher chance of surviving for a few seconds longer.

Excellent! I thought I could see the Wrekin there for a second...

8mm square? The stuff used as expansion strips for laminate flooring tend to be a little bit bigger. But, it's probably worth asking, if you have a local installer.. https://hardwoodfloors.uk.com/strips-skirting/cork-expansion-strip

The last few planes I've been on, all I saw of the outside was a bit round the door and the top of a wing through the window.

Is that a sleeping bag in the bottom picture? Dedication!

This is mostly white, a long stripe and a few short ones...

For those interested, the conversion kit is around $700 - $900. Though a DIY version can be achieved for a lot less, they say... http://thequirkyglobe.blogspot.com/2011/06/old-fashioned-typewriter-connects-to-pc.html

You can just make out the conveyor in the undated photo at the bottom here - https://jetstream.gsi.ie/iwdds/delivery/GSI_Transfer/Geoheritage/LS019_Lisduff_Quarry.pdf

I'm sure that I remember a conveyor across the road at Lisduff, but there's no sign of it now.

No way are you going to be able to type at that speed!

I'm in a similar position to you, probably 80% of my phone calls (outbound) are international. I have a 'deal' from many years ago, no longer available to new entrants, and they keep trying to tempt me off it with speeds that I don't need, without mentioning the loss of the 'free' international calls. My broadband is laughably slow, apparently, but is quite adequate for me - and I do remember dial-up...

Someone I know was recently complaining about being in an impending situation which would mean that they would be offline for nearly two days. I suggested that they might be alright and that I had once been offline for nearly fifty years.

Or control the heating via a remote controlled socket adaptor. You could turn it on from the house before you even venture outside. They will usually work up to about 25/30 metres. You could have a light on with it, so that you get a 'signal' that the switch has actually operated (or, if you turn it on by accident).

I've never seen a Magnorail in action, but, if the weight of the vehicle on a slope does become an issue, defeating the magnetic force, then it might be possible to increase that effect by fitting an extra small, powerful magnet in the vehicle itself? If more than one magnet was fitted, they would need to be spaced correctly.

On again shortly - the first weekend in February. Details here - https://www.staffordrailwaycircle.org.uk/exhibition/ Handy enough for anybody in the middle of the Big Island. Always a good show and rather less of an ordeal than Warley can be.

Lambe's and Phillips's at Ballybrophy. Marvellous places...

You could always go 'home'.

I'm often quite disappointed by 'modern' layouts. It seems like it should really be easier to model the hard, smooth surfaces and straight lines, but, with the very notable exception of 'our own' Barrow Street, it rarely seems to work (for me).
