Limerick-Ennis flooding - six-week closure
Broithe replied to Garfield's topic in What's happening on the network?
Closed until late April / early May - http://www.irishrail.ie/news/flooding-bus-transfers-between-limerick-and-ennis . -
"disruptive passengers aboard" -

Something else tonight - possibly a similar event - Irish Rail Tweeted "Apologies to all customers onboard the 17:55hrs service from Heuston to Newbridge. Gardai are investigating"...

Garratt? This fictional thing appeared when I was looking for a Q1 picture.

-
Pilgrimage? It wouldn't actually be untrue and she could be allowed to confuse the object of your trip with a nearby mountain...
-
They're not everybody's cup of tea, but I've always liked the Q1.

Didn't Otto Skorzeny - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_Skorzeny - once described by Winston Churchill as "the most dangerous man in Europe", once own Martinstown House? http://martinstownhouse.com/wordpress/

Bound to happen - with Angela being with Enda today..

You're wasting your time, get back to the future.. ..they didn't waste any of the budget on excessive cloth for the women's costumes..

Such authenticity! ...and in grey...

I have taken to watching old TV shows, one episode a week, like it used to be in the real times. I did The Prisoner at the end of last year, all 17 episodes in order - truly great telly we'll never see the like again. Currently, I'm doing the post-Thunderbirds live-action series UFO - even better than I remember. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPl1OYpuI5w

1/5th scale do you? http://www.rlm.at/cont/gal17_e.htm

That's not mine, mine's still in the box - just to give an idea of the size...
-
I have one in stock here - it's a monster, alright..
-
I have to say that I never saw them in there - other places, perhaps.....

According to Rudel, it was his plane of choice, right to the very end, and with 513 tanks removed, he seems to have known what he was talking about. There's a bit in the book where he mentions being shot down yet again - and it was for the thirtieth time, but he only mentions the interesting ones... He was never shot down by another aircraft, always ground-fire. I haven't had that many punctures!

Lambe's is no more - great memories of standing in there in the pitch black whilst the Guards gave some old biddy a lift to the train just after 'closing' time... ..beeping as they came over the bridge, so that they wouldn't be seen to have seen the place still open at that time..
-
It needs a crowd of lads in khaki dust-coats sprinting from it - towards Lambe's at Ballybrophy....
-
Hans-Ulrich Rudel's Stuka Pilot is a good read.
-
Follow it up with Robert Graves's Goodbye To All That... ..give a clearly reasoned explanation of how to get shot 'safely' - to avoid getting killed properly..
-
Ever read the book? You'll never use a spade again, without thinking about it....
