Irish bloody trains

[anitasizzle]

Supposedly, Irish Rail was pretty damn good back in the 50's; the minister of transport was really on the ball back then, but someone got a 'great' idea, and the rest is history

And why do old people talk so much?

well Lucy for some old people they may never have contact with a lot of people unless they come out on their one day a week trip.. when they are talking to people it helps them remember.... and you know if you sit and take the time an old person may tell you the most wonderful things about their past... Alzheimer's - Must-Read Poem: Crabby Old Man.. read this Lucy and think the next time what you see and hear when an old person is talking it is a fantastic poem... maybe a lot of people should read it and see what an old person really is cos a lot have forgotten .....x

I actually came across that very same poem about six months ago......the only slight difference is that it was called Crabby Old Woman and was written from a female perspective.....but it was essentially the same poem. I'm not sure if it was actually written by an old person to express their views on the aging process and how they are perceived by younger people, but I have seen it used as part of a teaching program for the caring professions. It's an interesting and powerful poem and highlights why people should look beyond the infirmities etc. of the elderly.

Ah, it was authentic I see. Maybe it was best I was alone yesterday.

I rather harshly asked the conductor why it takes more that 3 hours to travel anywhere in a country a sixth of the size of California? The train started to go backwards at one point. It was annoying, and then you have the parents with their darling little ones creating terror in the isles. Train travel is not managed well in this country. In Holland if I am in a train for 3 hours I will be getting out in France at the end of the journey.

Sounds like in Holland you'll be geting out of your tree!

You should have sat in the first carriage you would have gotten to your destination a little quicker.
