  1. Got a return ticket? http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/4229-Going-through-Senior-s-stuff?p=64136&viewfull=1#post64136
  2. Cremation is the general practice over here now - at my local Crem, the last sign that the coffin passes on the way in proudly proclaims that a defibrillator is available - I understand that it's been used three times - on audience members, not the main attraction. Also, if you look up at the apex of the ceiling in the main room, you'll see two smoke detectors...
  3. Looks interesting.
  4. It may be to do with this - http://strabanechronicle.com/2014/06/railway-project-hits-the-skids-because-of-its-size/ - i believe that it's in Strabane Library now.
  5. I have an old South Bend - very like this.
  6. This video has been suggested to me as possibly being of some help, although I suspect not.. Another person, who is a dedicated Apple fan-boy and believes that they can do no wrong, wonders if you are using an up-to-date OS? He believes that it "shouldn't happen" if you are, which, of course it shouldn't, but, then, it shouldn't happen anyway....
  7. Mmmm...? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCZfIwuS4JM
  8. I have one of the early Lidl cordless multi-tools - the cells began to fail after a good while and I managed to open the battery and replace them - they are AA size, so it wasn't too difficult. It works very well and I have hardly ever felt the need to plug the mains one in since then. I did also replace the collets with a chuck and that has been a useful mod, I feel. I can't vouch for whether the later batteries are openable or not - anything can be done, I suppose, but there can be a tendency to impede the consumer these days...
  9. Current and upcoming UK Lidl offers can be found here - http://www.lidl.co.uk/en/index.htm - you may need to enter a postcode to select a store, as there can be regional variations in the current offers - usually just a few weeks difference between UK & Ireland - always worth a look every week or so... Same applies to UK Aldi - https://www.aldi.co.uk/ .
  10. Pulling a Cú na Mara set.
  11. This - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-34932308 - might be leaf-related, although there's no mention of that in the report here. The smoke here looks engine-related, although the fire service stated the fire was around the wheels.
  12. As this member would no doubt agree - http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/member.php/186-Rapid130RS . I saw a 130 on the road a couple of years ago.
  13. Always looking for an excuse for this 1970s Hungarian rally-based video. Trabants, Skodas, Ladas and an FSO.
  14. More...
  15. Allegedly seen yesterday.
  16. A friend of mine does the printing at an MOD location - he got sent to an exhibition today and saw this 3-D printed, gold plated example on the Canon stand. I understand it to be a copy of some famous cup, complete with dents, scratches and nicks.
  17. Cellulose can be difficult to apply over some non-cellulose finishes, too.
  18. They regard trains in general, and passengers in particular, as a nuisance.
  19. There's often problems with them not having valid tickets.
  20. I went once, on a Sunday, having won some free tickets - it was an ordeal and I doubt I'll do it again soon. Stafford is on at the start of February and is a lot more civilised.
  21. I have asked for advice from some tame geeks and got this - http://iphonephotographyschool.com/iphone-photos-upside-down/
  22. ¡ʍou uıɐbɐ ʎɐʍ ʇɥbıɹ ǝɥʇ dn ʞɔɐq ɹoʇıuoɯ ʎɯ uɹnʇ oʇ ǝʌɐɥ oʇ buıob ɯ,ı 'ɥo
  23. I get on OK with mine.
