  1. One small issue that you can have with a slitting disc in a Dremel-type tool, is that, if the disc is of a smaller diameter than the body of the drill, then you will not be able to cut the track with a perpendicular face. This is not a problem, if you have the body of the drill over the piece of track that you want to retain - the slight slope will then be in your favour and the joint will still close up at the top , the small gap will be at the bottom where it doesn't really matter. If you cut it with the body of the drill over the 'waste' piece, then you'll get a slight gap at the top of the joint that can't be closed up, as the joint will butt up at the bottom first. No big deal, but worth keeping an eye on. A bit of clicky-clack is no harm, anyway.
  2. Bridge strike today on Bath Avenue, just north of the Aviva Stadium, delays to Dart services for a while, but recovering now.
  3. - both.
  4. Phew! Welcome back.
  5. Closed until late April / early May - http://www.irishrail.ie/news/flooding-bus-transfers-between-limerick-and-ennis .
  6. 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"...
  7. Garratt? This fictional thing appeared when I was looking for a Q1 picture.
  8. Pilgrimage? It wouldn't actually be untrue and she could be allowed to confuse the object of your trip with a nearby mountain...
  9. They're not everybody's cup of tea, but I've always liked the Q1.
  10. 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/
  11. Bound to happen - with Angela being with Enda today..
  12. 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..
  13. Such authenticity! ...and in grey...
  14. 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
  15. 1/5th scale do you? http://www.rlm.at/cont/gal17_e.htm

  17. 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.....
  19. 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..
