An aerodrome in Shannon

No we should focus on seaplanes at Foynes.

We certainly need a second airport

Balderdash! What possible demand could generate the need for *two* aerodromes?! You are looking a half dozen departures, at a maximum! What insane scenario are you imagining? Dozens of aeroplanes? Hundreds of them?! Impossible.

You should wait a bit until that new national airline "Aer Something" get their first metal aircraft later this year. There's talk of them reaching Liverpool within a day (!). I'm not sure why anyone would want to travel so quickly anywhere, surely that kind of haste is dangerous.

I am wondering what they plan to do with that Collinstown Aerodrome they've been building. It's far too far way from the city for my liking. I'm hoping they have the hindsight to re-route the Great Northern railway that way, in the off-chance this whole "air-travel" thing "takes off"...as one might say...

The new rules in hurling and football are making the game and players 'soft'

I heard they were going to build it in Clontarf but the locals objected. Something about the geese. Worried they might hit one of the planes when they are a shooting them.

What behavior against the Jews? They want them out of their country, what's wrong with that??

I am sure that most of Ireland would have supported neutrality in 1939. In terms of racism though, would an alien visitor coming to Earth in 1939 report that Nazi Germany was the world's most racist country?

Think about Jim Crow, the British Empire ( including Rhodesia and South Africa), British controlled India, and the French Empire. it was a war between White Supremacists, in the Northern Hemisphere.

JImmy Stewart has a new film coming out called Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. That looks interesting

I know some people feel that Hitler goes a bit too far sometimes, but anyone who annoys the woke brigade as much as he does can't be all bad. Anyway, you can't make an omelette without cracking a few eggs. History will be kind to him, mark my words.

And how we definitely don't have too many Hitlerites on boards and anyone who doesn't want to hear the Hitlerite point of view repeatedly on every thread is suppressing free speech.

Did you or see Mr. Chamberlain? Peace in our time! Hitler is just reunifying the German people, an industrious race. The man is a genius. Autobahn?? We barely have donkey tracks

"Peace in our time?" Sounds like famous last words

Funny thing is certain people today would, back then, be claiming the coming war was a big Jewish plot.

Sean Lester. He was League of Nations commissioner for the place until '37. He used to call out Nazi Germany on their behavior against the Jews, which resulted in them not wanting to work with him.

We’ve found a great value property between Balbriggan and Skerries, should we buy? Reading lots of threads on here complaining about aryan gangs marching about the place.

I think I prefer this new German tractor the Lanz Bulldog over the Wallis and Steevens steam engine.
I mean she has great power and easier manage. Simpler on the threshing set too.
Apparently though I'm advised to order in spare parts from Germany just in case of a break down as the waiting times on parts has increased considerably.
They never told me that and I buying her. :rolleyes:

I hear those Lanz parts also work in Panzer tanks.
Just saying might come in handy.
