    if that is the railway then that is howth junction station where they meet. mostly donaghmede to my mind with a bit of kilbarrack at the bottom.

    This is probably closer to the area covered in the aerial photo, taking the sea and Sutton Park into consideration. I probably left in too much at the bottom, for the sake of getting 'Kilbarrack' into it. 😉

    "Each segment of road has a different name" - oh, sweet, innocent child. The idea of roads having names unique from each other or all roads having a name haven't arrived in Ireland yet.

    Irvinestown itself is in Fermanagh, but the junction 6 km south east was indeed in Tyrone.

    The former station was on sale a few years ago.

    Since it came up today IRL this is ChibChiba kun, the mascot character of Chiba prefecture (kun is an honorific for males socially below you, usually younger). People from Chiba especially kids can say where they're from by referring to a body part of Chiba kun. For example, Chiba City is his neck, Katsuura City is his ass, or Tokyo Disney is actually in Chiba Kun's tongue.

    That's his belly button, not what you initially thought.

    Liechtenstein and San Marino

    Possibly because they have very strong links with Switzerland and Italy respectively, and may delegate that sort of stuff to those countries. (That's me completely guessing)



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 73,945 ✭✭✭✭L1011


    They also don't have airports, so would have to base their government aircraft in another country… which hasn't stopped Monaco admittedly, going on that map. Vatican is marked there but they're always leased.

    I meant when you have a long road, each time another road crosses it it changes name. In Dublin for example Georges St becomes Aungier St becomes Wexford St becomes Camden St becomes Richmond St.

    About sixty million years ago, the Icelandic mantle plume—a fountain of hot rock that rises from Earth's core-mantle boundary—unleashed volcanic activity across a vast area of the North Atlantic, extending from Scotland and Ireland to Greenland.
