  1. That does look like an exhibit from the trial of a serial killer.
  2. I'm planning a seaborne invasion on Thursday, striking inland, then re-grouping for some mopping-up operations on Sunday.
  3. Intrigued by the mention of Italians, very rare at this sort of event....

    Is it worth having easily visible advice for the less persistent users who may turn up and find themselves "locked-out"?

    Ticking the Remember Me box has kept me in.

    Same here - I logged out and wouldn't have found the way back without that hint - phew...! I'm 'remembered' now - I hope. The login box just doesn't come up, unless you follow the line above from TDR.
  7. This looks quite interesting - I will make an effort to attend.

    Has the 'style' changed? It does all look a bit 'sharper' to me...

    Excellent work - have a cup of tea - and some money from me at some convenient point.......
  10. Perhaps the most most perceptive assessment of England's performance is here - not for the easily offended or squeamish. http://www.joe.co.uk/sport/bbc-broadcaster-goes-on-astonishing-foul-mouthed-rant-after-englands-euro-2016-exit/69676
  11. It is possible that it may have contained some aspects that are not 100% historically accurate.
  12. A friend of mine went to an RTÉ Symphony Orchestra concert a few days after "That Match" - the various sections of the orchestra were introduced and got the usual polite applause, until the French Horns, who got loudly booed...

  14. This is only the third (national) referendum the UK has ever had. It's not as though the constitution (what there is of it) is governed by it - it is really an opinion poll. It has developed into (mostly) a Conservative party leadership challenge. It's all very odd here - all (genuinely every single one) of the posters/placards that I have seen are for Leave, yet I expect a Remain majority.
  15. Theresa Villiers - the current Northern Ireland Secretary - a leave supporter - assures us that the border would remain as open as it is now, in the event of a UK withdrawal. If she really knows.... http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/eu-referendum/villiers-leave-vote-wont-see-return-of-irish-border-checks-34628950.html Not everybody agrees with her, though. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-36448599
  16. I came across this bit of bedtime reading for those interested in bridge strikes. http://www.crr.ie/publications/railway-bridges-in-ireland-bridge-strike-trends/
  17. Great, I'll see what I can find - I did order in two goes and I do know the second one was the final set. The idea was to deliver them to the Train Man and I would pick them up off him.
  18. Is it feasible for people who currently have two packs of the "first issue" on order (e.g., me) to end up receiving two packs with different wagon numbers?
  19. This picture has turned up on eBay - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/351757481824?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT .
