The roundabout looks to have been made around ten years ago - this is how it was before. https://www.google.com/maps/@32.9675775,-82.7940998,3a,75y,209.22h,84.44t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sxNMNCmUo7G0A3oEIlr7ceQ!2e0!5s20120901T000000!7i13312!8i6656?entry=ttu

This is it - one of the roads off it is Hospital Road - that might be handy... https://www.google.com/maps/@32.9674243,-82.7943619,117m/data=!3m1!1e3?entry=ttu

Mmm, I think you could squeeze a turntable in there, too.

37/6..? That's nearly two quid!

In any respect, I'm sure it will maintain the 5-star rating. https://ratings.food.gov.uk/business/1557487/ballycombe-lodges And, of course, there is Ballycumber in Offaly - Béal Átha Chomair - the ford where the rivers meet.

No problem, my accountant will draught an invoice for services rendered.

Wandering back through his twitter pictures is well worth the time. I have put some up occasionally on here.

Marvellous stuff! But, the building behind it in the last picture is still 'too clean' and a bit over-scale, I think.

Brophy would do. (Not that I am one). I still run a Nokia 3510 - I'm not the best person to ask about these scratchy phone things...

If it's a thread that you started, you can edit the title by placing the cursor over it and holding a left-click - it will then give you the means to alter the text.

I hope the unboxing goes well.

Put a bit of tape over the lenses of any cameras you have - remote activation is often easy...

When I was a lad... We went from Hampshire to Snowdon in one of them - overnight and very slowly. I would have been about 10 or 11. The other lads were (what I thought was) a lot older, up to 17/18ish. I did a lot of things in my youth that I wouldn't do now, but they had a game that I wouldn't do then. When hanging out of the back, hanging onto the 'entry rope', became a bit ordinary, a new task was started. The object of this was to exit the flap at the back and proceed along the side of the rear bed, using the odd straps that were flailing about in the wind, then finally entering the cab via the hatch, and returning to the back. About half-a-dozen lads achieved this goal. All this happened as we progressed along the A5 on the overnight journey. Amazingly, nobody was killed or even injured. A few car drivers were unnerved by the spectacle, but all the entrants used the nearside of the truck for their passage to the cab and back. On the return journey, also overnight, we arrived back and there was no sign of me when the back of the truck we being emptied. I was discovered underneath a large crate full of equipment that had overturned onto me in my sleeping bag. It was too heavy to shift and I, an extremely heavy sleeper, just went back to sleep for the rest of the journey. When I was discovered, those who were supposed to be in charge were petrified that there "could be paperwork", but I was able to persuade them that I wasn't going to die - I wasn't even injured, just hungry. One for a cameo scene..?

Time for a new category in the competition?

All new technologies look rubbish at the start. Imagine being a witness to the Wright brothers' first flight... ...and yet, fifty years later, there were jet airliners. Some things will work, and some things won't.

They're currently reengining the remaining B-52s. The last new one was delivered in 1962.
