Vladimir in Port? inspecting the nuclear silos at Odlums perhaps?

I saw one a few months back reserved for Barack O'Bama on the 1920 Galway - Heuston....

Hmmm, Vlad must be a regular train user. I took this screen shot last Friday heading for Portarlington....

 

[jhb171achill]

Get onto Vlad and tell him to leave Ukraine alone, and make himself a model of the Ukrainian railways instead. Many here could advise him!

Of course, Moscow used to be in Laois - still there on the maps of the '70s, but not shown on today's Google Maps - for security purposes, no doubt.....

And there was me thinking that Walshisland wanted to secede from Offaly and join the Moscow GAA league!

..that could be a missile silo at Timahoe..

[jhb171achill]

Tis all a conspiracy theory. Everyone knows that Mission Control is actually in Sligo.

Doubting me is a bad move, comrade.

Rumours of a plan for a canal from Athy to Moscow - and, beyond, to Geneva.... http://irishwaterwayshistory.com/abandoned-or-little-used-irish-waterways/the-grand-canal/south-of-moscow-north-of-geneva/

Bro, you seriousely have to lay off that vodka!!!

[Old Blarney]

Now Lads - you have it all wrong.

 

Moscow is in Ayrshire, Scotland.

 

Believe you, me, it is there for all to see. I've passed through it on many an occasion when driving from Glasgow to Darvel after the railway between these two places was closed.

 

Vladimir Putin has his villa on the West Coast of Scotland. This allows him to observe the movement of British Naval vessels as, and when, he pleases. Alex Salmond, First Minister of Scotland, and leader of the SNP, a Putin admirer (by his own admission) is waiting for a successful result (for him) in the forthcoming Independence Referendum in Scotland. A YES vote will then allow wee Eck to complain of undue interference by the English in Scottish affairs, thus providing wee Eck with an excuse to request assistance fro his latest friend, Putin. Putin will then invade Scotland at Alex's (First Prime Minister Scotland) request.

 

Putin will then legitimately acquire the British Nuclear deterrent on the Clyde, and drive back to his Capital City of Moscow in Ayrshire, Scotland. On nice Sunny days he will travel back to his Villa on the Scottish West Coast.

Merely a decoy.

 

 

"Your papers, please......"

[jhb171achill]

Near the Burren in Co Clare there's a Boston.

[minister_for_hardship]

[jhb171achill]

There must be a lot of politicians living there.....

[BosKonay]

And bankers?

[jhb171achill]

Indeed, Boskonay!

[Warbonnet]

And bankers?

 

I did a 6 week temp contract for ACC bank back in 2000. Does that count?

Yes.

[David Holman]

Politicians too, no doubt. By the by, did you know the collective noun for a group of bankers is a 'wunch'?

David - over here we call a group of them #ankers! (ten Our Fathers and 3 Hail Marys!)

[David Holman]

Priests - now there's another thread...

However, my [increasingly seasonal] day job includes doing headteacher performance reviews with their governors. One of my regular ports of call is a church school and last year, found myself faced with no less than three vicars. I made the obvious enquiry about the collective noun for such a group and was informed [with much delight] that the word was an 'hypocrasy'....

'Nuff said???

[heirflick]

definately nuff said!

Spotted this last summer - not on a railway but only few 100 meters away from old Fenit railway.
