only if they find the body...

The Drodgen Tunnel is in a trench cut into the seabed, under ~10m of water (according to the cross section on wikipedia). The bridge, being only 5 miles long, is presumably not over considerably deeper water.

The official music video for the French entry for Eurovision this year, filmed at a railway museum.

Depends on how badly I needed/wanted that particular loco...

Looks like they've changed the front wing... maybe someone had a little ding...

set the loco's speedo with worn wheels then stick a new set on... but the speedo says I'm doing 35mph...

They could, but they also know that if he ran anyway as a third party candidate he'd split their vote meaning the Democrats would win.

That is because the word "Theory" has had a change of general usage over time and so is erroneously used instead of 'hypothetically'; for example, "in theory this should work," should actually be "hypothetically this should work."

at least it looks better than the cgi'd image with the thin white strip around the front window...

Woking has very good access to Heathrow... just not by train. There's a National Express bus that leaves from the station hourly. If I'm going to Heathrow, it's how I get there. Train to Woking (I live on the Alton line) and then bus to the airport.

They have that at the 11'8" bridge... and people still hit it. Even with the sign that lights up next to the red lights activated by overheight vehicles telling them to turn...

No harm in letting the boffins know that pop-ups that block content fall under "stuff that makes me tempted to look at ad-blockers"...

We had a new (or at least first time we'd seen one) visitor to the garden this weekend... sat overlooking the pond, not 3m from the kitchen window!

I think in the case of the GC the last stage is ceremonial (as long as the Yellow jersey finishes), and it would be unlikely for a contender to be allowed into a breakaway in an attempt to get any time. Apart from the fact that breakaways have very rarely succeeded on the last stage. It's almost always a sprinter's finish (now we might see the Green jersey decided). It wouldn't surprise me that they neutralised the times if Jumbo-Visma wanted to take a team photo cycling down the Champs Elysees crossing the line in the way Team Sky did once the peloton had gone through.

If it's beach sand you might want to rinse it to remove any traces of sea salt

keep in mind this route was decided (including keeping it all inside France) long before the whole COVID-19 situation. Some stunning scenery so far this week!

I mean, I know the Class 70s aren't the prettiest loco, but there's no need to refer to them as "spare parts"...

And whether the top light is on/off and how many carriages there are...

QI word of the day today - "Word of the Day: BOANTHROPY - a psychological disorder where the sufferer believes that they are a cow."

that is possibly a front runner for the worst livery to appear on a HST... it's not too bad in profile, but that three quarters angle looks terrible... hopefully they'll tweak it somehow...

reminds me of watching the Ashland cam a couple of years ago when a +100 car train was stopped at a signal for ~2.5hrs, effectively cutting the town in two for that time...

That's because the bubonic plague is endemic in prairie dogs (I believe) in the US, and so there is occasional crossover.

No, it got the moniker because at the initial outbreak the press of most of the major countries were being heavily censored due to the Great War, so outbreaks weren't being reported, but the Spanish press were free to report the flu outbreak because Spain were neutral. So it ended up being known as the Spanish Flu because that was where it was first openly reported. That and the then king of Spain (Alfonso XIII) from 1886 to 1931 was wasn't killed in that pandemic.

On my last attempted to leave feedback I had the situation where I was able to save an item in my watch list, bid on an item, pay for an item, but if I tried to leave feedback ebay THEN asked for my password... which it rejected... but I could still go back and carry on bidding on things...

lol... and there I was thinking that that might of had some sort of standards that could be fairly universal...
