  1. Not really bemused, but more terrified, was the look on the face of the manager of Oakengates Town Hall, as he opened the doors to let the crowd in to see the Pogues around 1982. He seemed to have thought that he'd booked something like an Irish version of Jimmy Shand and was clearly traumatised by what confronted him. You could clearly see him desperately trying to work out which would be the least horrific - letting us in or trying to keep us out..?
  2. Not bad - perhaps we could club together and get Bus Éireann a set of hub-caps to bring theirs in line. It's really great that such a small market is catered for these days. All we need now is for the excellent Bachmann Scenecraft figures to feature a range of Guards - with optional pony-tails.
  3. Indeed - genius!!
  4. You wouldn't want to be stood there at the time......
  5. Crikey, that'll take some dustpan and brush to clean it up. Did the train de-rail and hit the silo - or the silo collapse and de-rail the train?
  6. A fairly dramatic bridge-strike in England - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-hampshire-21229913 .
  7. Ah, right - obvious when you say that - I can see the right-angle drive at the bottom, now that I know it's there...
  8. I think they might be screwdrivers - for attaching the clips to the sleepers/chairs..?
  9. Intriguing, indeed. Is 'it' actually two almost identical implements, one behind the other? Spot-on pics, though!
  10. Unfortunately, I have no visual record of the reactions that I have got when I have attempted to introduce people over here to the art of Dessie O'Halloran - they usually don't even know if they're bemused or not... Philistines - they should all be sent back to Philistinia...
  11. Do you have a promissory note?
  12. Empty Lima box - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BOX-for-Lima-HO-gauge-2126T-Old-Irish-Main-Line-Train-Set-/271144193706?ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:GB:1123 .
  13. That cutting looks a bit wintry at this stage - just what I'm looking out at now..! Great stuff!
  14. There has been subsidence 'adjacent to' the Cork/Cobh line. Replacement bus service tomorrow..
  15. I wonder if they would be cheaper stored at the Busaras?
  16. Has he only offered them to a Mr I K Brunel?
  17. Well, I've just hassled Leo - let's see what happens......
  18. http://www.rte.ie/news/2013/0125/364417-train-carriages/
  19. That has been the case since it was first suggested.
  20. Pete and Dud's Derek and Clive. That's still top-notch stuff.
  21. I often post this on my other forum, when things get a bit pointlessly heated..
  22. On the radio, Round the Horne - the pictures were better than the telly. On the telly, The Likely Lads, it was virtually a documentary... [video=youtube;sqoNs1aL-CI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqoNs1aL-CI
  23. Getting Leo down to open it..?
  24. Indeed. I recall a radio programme about this over here many years ago. The scale of what happens is, as you say, not always widely reported - there was one driver over here who was almost into double figures... The person that you're most at risk from is yourself.
