  1. Merely a decoy. "Your papers, please......"
  2. Doubting me is a bad move, comrade. This - https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=newtown+laois&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Newtown,+County+Laois,+Ireland&gl=uk&ll=52.869972,-7.097865&spn=0.005718,0.009645&t=h&z=17&vpsrc=6&layer=c&cbll=52.870635,-7.096785&panoid=OcYfV5745ajHSc0fkkhDig&cbp=12,275.7,,2,-1.08 - has to be a missile, ready for launch. Rumours of a plan for a canal from Athy to Moscow - and, beyond, to Geneva.... http://irishwaterwayshistory.com/abandoned-or-little-used-irish-waterways/the-grand-canal/south-of-moscow-north-of-geneva/
  3. ..or just black and dirt - with an off-white circle to denote 'oil-burning'...?
  4. Moscow 'was' here - https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=newtown+laois&ll=52.866682,-7.095172&spn=0.011386,0.01929&hnear=Newtown,+County+Laois,+Ireland&gl=uk&t=h&z=16 - a lot of exotic names round there at one time - Bilbao, Moscow, Pimlico, etc..... ..that could be a missile silo at Timahoe..
  5. Of course, Moscow used to be in Laois - still there on the maps of the '70s, but not shown on today's Google Maps - for security purposes, no doubt..... http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~irlcar2/Bilboa.htm
  6. ..couldn't squeeze a forty-footer on..
  7. ..or, wear the cap the right way round, but face the other way.. ..ah, you might have to wear the hoodie backwards then.....
  8. There was hordes of people involved in that one - they had to keep waiting for the real passengers to clear off, so that the professional passengers could saunter through properly. Bloke on a ladder with a loud-hailer - all the kit.... This was all about eight in the morning - I thought they might shift me out of the way, but I'd come over on the night boat and I might have looked a bit fragile. No sign of my cheque yet......
  9. If you're worried about the stardom affecting your life too much, then don't be scared of it. I'm in this one, at 9 seconds, on the seat at the back - and I'm still as normal as I was before...
  10. Some progress - http://www.irishrail.ie/news/delays-to-galway-services .
  11. A freight train has failed near Portarlington, causing extensive delays to Galway services. ..and I've managed to fail with the date - 2014, obviously..
  12. ..I think that should be "cannot be overestimated".... ..but, we all knew what it meant, anyway..
  13. Large load on the roads of Cork and Limerick over the next week - http://www.garda.ie/Controller.aspx?Page=13217 .
  14. This any use - http://maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V1,587043,763739,7,9 ?
  15. This can be very handy - http://maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V1,588882,739883,0,10 - if it has what you want. Snap!
  16. This will turn your brain inside-out...
  17. Bridge strike south of Mallow this morning - running again, after an inspection.
  18. Elements of the original Ballybrophy layout there...
  19. Thank you for letting us in on all this - and what are you doing up at this time of the night?
  20. I fear that the Oracle has spoken. Brand Central in Rathdowney is empty and available....
  21. This sort of thing. http://briansolomon.com/trackingthelight/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Bord_na_Mona_panel_wagons_low_view_P1570383.jpg
  22. Is it a panel wagon? One for each end of a stack of track panels..?
