Broithe

Mmmm, this could have been rather more serious - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-35401921 .

I can't see how to edit the above post.

Us mere mortals can't edit after a while - 24 hours, I think - but, people will cope, it's clear enough from the above.

Some comments from the island - https://mers.org.im/blog/articles/view/id/207/Douglas%20Horse%20Tramway%20-%20Manx%20Residents%20Have%20Their%20Say

A sign of the times. ..... a visit to Alton Towers .....

Alton Towers is cutting down the amount of time it's open this year.

Partly as a result of last year's disastrous collision, but I get the impression it's been dropping off a bit there anyway..

All the horses ever used were 0.4.0s...

Not remaining and not in cabins, but Ballybrophy still had two ground-frames into this century.

The one for the old goods siding went first, around ten years ago.

And the one for the Nenagh branch loop went about two/three years ago.

I wonder if the RPA/TII could be persuaded to reinvigorate it, as a rural Luas programme?

OK, I don't, really...

The Rathdowney Review is published annually, with both current and historical features in it. An edition from a few years back claimed that there had once been plans for a tramway the four miles to Ballybrophy, though I've never found any corroboration for this.

 

It is plausible, as Rathdowney had a substantial mart in the old days, and Perry's Brewery could have provided a bit of traffic, too - apart from any passenger movements.

I've pursued this, and the National Library has a letter from Lord Castletown that refers to the proposition.

Weshty'll be along in a minute.....

It was indeed Broithe - congrats -

 

Orders are now closed

 

At the moment, the initial batch of 333 packs will all have the same numbers (it;s the manufacturers minimum)

Fair enough. That's no problem.

Not like me to still be here for Last Orders.......

Just bought a pack - if that's the last one, have cup of tea lads - and then get on with the bubbles!

Is it feasible to make sure that this pack is differently numbered to the first pack that I bought a while back?

Should I mention the 1.5 billion I won in the USA lottery the other day?

You've always been my favourite member on this Forum.

Worth a look -

my goodness it is incredible to look at

I disagree, I think it is completely credible!

Obviously, I do agree, really....

Apologies for the random extra vowel in "Coast" - it's a Laois thing....

Two more of these events near me in recent days.

Winter sunlight can reach places that never see the Summer Sun.

It was supposed to re-open in a couple of weeks, but it'll be March now.

Nice - but the video is 'Private'.

I've seen his layout...

The lad next-door to me has just turned 36 years old, but I still take every opportunity to let people know that he once pissed in my tea, and from about four feet away, although it was during a nappy changing event.

My other forum used to give you five minutes before things were locked....

How did one of them end up the right way up?

When it comes to that time Richie, its a case of shoot first and ask questions later. Make an example of the first lad and the rest will have manners....IT REALLY DOES WORK!

Is he still nailed to the gatepost?
