Re: A train station for DoDo (4.00 / 5)

Ha! This one I guessed right at first sight: Llandudno Junction, looking west on platform 3. (Convay Castle against the Sun, two kinds of platform roof pillars were the giveaways)

Re: A train station for DoDo (none / 0)

BTW, can someone tell where the departure station in the video is? Hints: 1) I featured it in a Train Blogging diary, 2) the real Orient Express never stopped there, 3) reader/s living close by are excluded from contest.

Re: A train station for DoDo (none / 0)

I didn't think I'd ever been there, and I Googled to confirm.

So I think I now know who is disqualified by proximity!

Re: A train station for DoDo (none / 1)

Heh... actually, that one, the outside view on the very first take, is a different station than the one with the train views (the one I meant to pose as riddle).

This is Limoges, the train view is Nice.

As for the arrival station (both inside & outside), it is in Istambul -- but it's the Asian side main station, Haydarpasha; and the train with the French loco was edited onto the shore behind it.

Re: Photos as Usual (4.00 / 5)

At the end of a long day of travelling up to Llandudno, I like to walk along the promenade, peek at the pier and eat chips as I watch the sea. It was raining so I settled for a good old fish and chips cafe and watched the local life go by through the window.

Re: Photos as Usual (4.00 / 3)

The trick with fried eggs - as these - is to get the yolk covered without burning the base. The easiest way to do this is, when the white is cooked but the yolk still a bit raw, is to drop an eggcup measure of water into the frying pan and cover it immediately. The resulting steam cooks the top of the egg fast.

The great Marilyn Chambers (4.00 / 8)

died last month, in her 50's, while I was in Washington. My son called to remind me that in about 1980, when I had gone to L.A. for the "Erotic Academy Awards" and had met her and she gave me two autographed photos, one for my cinema, and one for my son who was 16 at the time. The one for the cinema hung there until it closed; my son still has his copy, and emailed it to me. Here it is.

Re: local wildflower (4.00 / 4)

Looks rather like cuckoo pint, which comes in a range of colours.

Delicacy forbids me from saying for what pint (pronounced with a short i) is an archaic word. But the plant's other name is Lords and Ladies, and I'm sure you can work it out... ;)

The difference between theists and atheists is that the atheists don't set the theists on fire for refusing to agree with them.
