In terms of population, Ireland is unusual and possibly unique in the world in having a lower population now than it did 200 years ago.

Indeed. 200 years ago Ireland and the USA both had 8.5 million. 
 

Today we have 7 million, and the USA has about 337 million!

This has the potential to be annoying - a high-speed sleeper?

 

It'll probably stop half-way through an episode and continue on a bus, with no heating...

Perfect; thus, what the brexitstanners call a "DMU" is hereby and henceforth officially a "CR".....

It may not even start at all if the drivers are on strike.

First decent snowfall of the season. Funnily enough it was crunchy and crispy down low but pure soft powdery higher up. Tiring especially on the slopes. Just a few photos. When I was leaving this morning about 10.30am the Mrs informed me that it was -3 degrees according to her phone. Funnily enough when I was putting my gear into the car I gathered that I would not be wearing shorts....

A friend walks past this in Birmingham most days, and finally knows what it is now.

A building clearly inspired by Gerry Anderson.

I don’t know if this helps but there used to be a glass with a Dublin Bus logo on the bottom of it in my neighbour’s house.

A difficult modelling prospect - the paint job on the piano would be hard enough, but getting a sound chip and a decent speaker into it would be much worse.
