Kind of????

Mick, from Dublin , appeared on ‘Who Wants To Be A Millionaire’ and towards the end of the program had already won 500,000 pounds. You’ve done very well so far,’ said, Chris Tarrant, the show’s presenter, ‘but for a million pounds you’ve only got one lifeline left – phone a friend. Everything is riding on this question……will you go for it?’ ‘Sure,’ said Mick. ’I’ll have a go!’ ‘Which of the following birds does NOT build its own nest?’ A: Sparrow B: Thrush C: Magpie D: Cuckoo I haven’t got a clue,’ said Mick, ‘so I’ll use me last lifeline and phone me friend Paddy back home in Dublin ’. Mick called up his mate, and told him the circumstances and repeated the question to him. ‘Well, Mick’ replied Paddy. ’Dat’s simple……it’s a cuckoo.’ ‘Are you sure?’ ’I’m 100% sure.’ Mick hung up the phone and told Chris, ’I’ll go with Cuckoo as me answer.’ ‘Is that your final answer?’ asked Chris ‘Dat it is, Sir.’ There was a long – long pause, and then the presenter screamed, ‘Cuckoo is the correct answer! Mick, you’ve won 1 million pounds!’ The next night, Mick invited Paddy to their local pub to buy him a drink. ‘Tell me, Paddy? How in Heaven’s name did you know it was da Cuckoo that doesn’t build its own nest? ‘Because' says Paddy 'sure everyone knows he lives in a fecking clock!’

....sad Dave- but the chosen few will still make the best of it!

If memory serves (and it often fails!) The C class in green without the whitish band didn't have the flying snail, just numbers ....can't make out the band on her....

Thanks all!

Fair play ...thanks Des!

Thats brilliant Stephen - thanks for taking the time to help ...much appreciated !

Sure we're always wrong Dave - trick is not to talk out loud!

Lads, anyone of ye learned ones know if the Chetwynd Viaduct in Cork was a single track or double when constructed? Any info appreciated as always!

For me lads I'd stick with 1:76 - in years to come 'twould be difficult to do handle the N stuff not to mention seeing the detail !

Ahhh 'G' lads....what do ya do when you're running low in the black stuff?

Agreed!

Beautiful!

....ya know Bos - you're dead right! Quick calculation here...1057 members @ an average of 6 euros per tibble (midland prices) X 2 = 12,684 euros! Start saving Fran!!!

....And you did say Fran that if ye win, you will buy everyone who voted for ye a pint of their favorite tibble...remember?

The deed is done - should have been a 'bubball' category to cover both wagons!

You mean this?
