  • [i found your page via the Anapra blogring - Ryan's a homedawg of mine, even though the seattle area is more than wee bit out of the baltimore area]

    heathrow's a fun airport. [but evil to try to sleep in...]

    i couldn't help but notice with interest your other posts. what do you think about how some lobbyists are trying to get the US gov't to revoke securities on Gerry Adams, so he can visit the states more easily and the like? [some of it was spurred over st paddy's, as he visited the White House but then was hassled through the DC airport and missed giving a presentation in NY]

    i heard today from someone i know when he spent a few days in Belfast in the 70s. apparently was quite interesting. i'm reminded of a snippet from when The Clash went through Belfast, and were cheerfully informed that where they were staying at was the most bombed hotel in Europe.

    i could ramble on. but i won't. and you very well may know more than i do.

    but have an awesome one. all the best and God bless,

  • I Love Simulators! But it has been a while since I have been in one, the last being a KC135 Simulator (my Dad was a tanker navigator), so I managed to sneak around a few times (wicked grin).
    I have to agree with the last commenter Heathrow is cool, but Gatwick is not that bad either! (but then any overseas airport is interesting to me) One thing I do not get is why someone would bother to fly to Scotland from England... eh... I guess driving made the most sense to me, thinking of the distance.

  • Where are the days of BCAL?! (British Caledonian offered nonstop US-Scotland service until BA took it over.)

  • Regarding Gerry Adams, he USED to be a militant Irish Repubican.  Hence, they should have revoked security restrictions on him back when the IRA declared a Cease Fire. 

  • I just got an An Phoblacht newsletter today saying that Gerry Adams was officially off the American "terrorist" list.

  • Thank you, Ana, for that good news.

  • Reformed Irish Republican? Insanre

  • Wolfe Tone, among other Prod Republicans, was a Protestant Irish Republican.  Hence, I don't think a Reformed IR is off the mark.
