When you buy your ticket insist on getting a designated seat. Long story and trains tend to be packed. Last May my partner and I bought tickets at Heuston ticket office for the Dublin- Galway train. I was not asked at the time if I wanted to reserve seats. Anyway we boarded the train 20 mins before ...

Yeah it does. Councils contact them and usually they have a set number of days to fix any reinstatements

Do those ‘set’ days fall on the 29 February each year by any chance?

Ludicrous. When it comes to planning major building developments i.e. warehouses, housing estate, sole house builds, etc there is always a lengthy public consultation. But when the council decided on major changes to road systems, which has a greater impact on, and affects a greater proportion of th...

This could be an interesting new UTC series.

“Next week we ask what Head Groundsman Barry O’Brien must be thinking”.

Don’t have a go at Barry. After all he was signed up by mud analytics so should know more than most about soil.

Wonder if some legal guru’s on here can explain the significance of terms in yTibs letter from Parkingeye.

The letter expressly states ‘Parking Charge’ and Parking Charge Notice’ as opposed to parking fine. Is there a legal significance in using the term ‘charge’ rather than ‘fine’?

Strange one to class football support as being ‘tribal’ as though it is rooted in Neanderthal man. Almost suggests such supporters support a town/ area irrespective of the sport that is played. By contrast, the supporters ( and players) of the much more physical game of rugby appreciate the finesse ...

Excellent programme. I am sure though there several other people in the PO, besides Paula Vennels ( and perhaps Crozier), to be held accountable for the cover-up, injustice and abuse of power. What about PO heads of IT and Accounts + their subordinates? Surely they are as responsible for not blowing...

Thanks for the comprehensive response Spiral. I will sleep on it and see if it makes more sense in the morning. Based on your description I now have a vision of ‘space’ being like some kind of enormous doughnut shape 🫣. I need sleep.

Thanks for the link to the amazing images. I have a few questions though that perhaps some bright spark (sorry :-) ) may answer.

I am at Gretna Green and it has snowed. About an inch.
I woke up to 3 inches in Stirling this morning.

That should open up a few things!

I am assuming you are still referring to the depth of snow -

anytime a ball hits an arm in whatever circumstance in a UEFA competition it's a penalty. So, if an opposing player "deliberately" strikes the ball to hit a defenders hand, elbow or arm should it be a penalty? The solution may be to have all outfield players running around in straightjackets - oh w...

Some establishments do hike prices to attract a certain clientele. However, I feel the breweries are over charging on the pretence of inflation, energy hikes, etc. About 2 year ago you could buy 4 bottles of standard ales in supermarkets for £5. It will now cost you £7 for the same. That is a 40% in...

Started home brewing ales the summer 2019 before lockdown.

The ‘driving at 20 mph is more efficient and gives less emissions’ stance is totally illogical. IC engines have an efficient operating speed ( fuel consumption v’s rpm). Add in the effect of hearing and mass of car and you should end up with an optimum speed for each car. Just think of it logically-...

I few years ago I visited a well known detergent bottle manufacturer & filler. You'd be surprised at the number of 'brands" that came out of the same chemical vats. The only real difference was bottle shape/ labels.
