It seems that the Gardai (Irish police) never received any reports in relation to the alleged assault and robbery. It's being rumored that the NFL didn't want to make a big issue out of it.

That's because this is Word Association, not the A-Z Game. My "pussycat" still stands!

Roger, I assume you were happy with the result at the weekend. Was there much made of the game being played in Ireland in the US media?

A bit of sad news from F1. Lewis Hamilton's 12-year-old bulldog Roscoe has died. Lewis missed a tire test on Friday after the dog was admitted to hospital with pneumonia last week.

I heard that a player had been robbed, but not who it was until after I saw your post. Sadly, there seems to be a trend of attacks in Dublin at the moment. An English tourist was stabbed (but survived) in the same area last week. I don't know if they've caught anyone or announced the nationality of the attackers. By all accounts the NFL game was a success, so it's such a shame that it was marred by an incident like this.

Vikings are reported to have reached Newfoundland via Iceland and Greenland in 1021AD.

Center Where the money was supposed to go in 'Return of the Ridge Raiders'.

It was longer than 500 years. The Vikings originally invaded Ireland in 795AD. but the Normans took over starting in 1169AD. Does that mean that the Steelers are representing the Normans in this battle?

On the news this afternoon they said there are a lot of Americans in Dublin for the game, and many are looking the wrong way when crossing the street!

So, are you going to turn your kit into a Charger Daytona? I don't know much about 3D printing, but www.printables.com has downloadable files for a General Lee including the push bar.

Roger, I didn't want to start a new thread for this, but I see your Steelers are playing the Vikings in Ireland this weekend. Although we've hosted college games before, this is the first full NFL game to be played here. Apparently, I missed the Terrible Towel Tour when it came to town earlier this week. They covered eight counties in four days. Max Starks was talking about it earlier on the radio. I don't know if the link will work outside of Ireland, but hopefully you can hear him here.

They used some '68 Chargers in the show, so it's still authentic. The main differences between the '68 and '69 Chargers are the front grille, the rear lights and the side markers. You can sand off the side markers (as they did with the real ones). You can probably fabricate the front grille divider (they had center pieces to clip to '68 grilles on some cars in the show). The tail lights will be trickier to change.

You can see various documented model builds in the Hobbies forum. You might pick up some tips there.

In 'Road Pirates', Bo sits on boxes of HI-FI equipment in the back of the truck.

I've never seen his shows (I'm not sure if they were shown over here), but I'm familiar with him through memes! It's so odd for me listening to Thomas being narrated by an American. The fictional setting of the Island of Sodor is so British (it's meant to be located in the Irish Sea between the English mainland and the Isle of Man). BTW. Last weekend marked the 80th anniversary of The Railway Stories (AKA. Thomas and Friends) - there's an article about it here. At least the music's good to dance to.

We had 'The New Yankee Workshop' and 'This Old House' on TV in the UK about 20 years ago (I haven't seen them recently). I'll have to check out 'The Woodwrights Shop' - it's a new one to me.

Christian Horner has formally left Red Bull, and his severance package is reported to be €60 million (over $70 million). That makes up for the €12 million/year he'd have earned until his original contract ran out in 2030.
