This is the plug from our first transportable phone. What a thrill it was to be able to make calls while traveling in our car, back in the nineties. We still have the phone and it is in mint condition. It also weighs in at 5 pounds. Quite a difference from todays light weight cell phones.
*(A vintage Centel by Motorola Bag Phone. Between Alexander Graham Bell and Steve Jobs there was Motorola’s sturdy Bag Phone, released in 1990, and respected for its durability and higher power output than many other transportable phones. This is a collector’s item because the service that it utilized is no longer available.)

The rain begins to fall at 'The Plug Hole', Ladybower Reservoir, Derbyshire, UK
The Ladybower Reservoir is a large Y-shaped reservoir, the lowest of three in the Upper Derwent Valley in Derbyshire, England. The River Ashop flows into the reservoir from the west; the River Derwent flows south, initially through Howden Reservoir, then Derwent Reservoir, and finally through Ladybower Reservoir. Its longest dimension is just over 3 miles, and at the time of construction it was the largest reservoir in Britain.
The water is used primarily for river control and to compensate for the water retained by the upper two dams, but water can also be fed into the drinking water system, however this is unusual as the water must be pumped to treatment works rather than using gravity flow like in the other two reservoirs, increasing costs. The drinking water is treated at Bamford water treatment works by Severn Trent Water. Treated water flows down the Derwent Valley Aqueduct to supply clean water to towns and cities in the East Midlands of England.
The building of the reservoir resulted in the 'drowning' of the villages of Derwent and Ashopton (including Derwent Woodlands church and Derwent Hall). Much of the structure of the village was still visible during a dry summer some fourteen years later, especially the church clock tower, however this has since been dismantled.
The area is now a popular tourist location, with the Fairholmes visitors' centre located at the northern tip of Ladybower.
The Ladybower Dam was built between 1935 and 1943, and took a further two years to fill (1945). The building of the dam wall was undertaken by the Scottish company of Richard Baillie and Sons. The two viaducts, Ashopton and Ladybower, needed to carry the trunk roads over the reservoir, were built by the London firm of Holloways, using a steel frame clad in concrete. Both firms encountered mounting problems when World War Two broke out in 1939 making labour and raw materials scarce. The opening ceremony for the reservoir was carried out on Tuesday September 25th 1945 by King George VI accompanied by Queen Elizabeth, later to become the Queen Mother.
During the 1990s the wall was raised and strengthened to reduce the risk of 'over-topping' in a major flood.
The dam's design is peculiar in having two totally enclosed bellmouth overflows (locally named the 'plugholes') at the side of the wall. The easterly overflow originally had a walkway around it but this was dismantled many years ago.

Just a little "plugging " with Harristown Garage PA 33 Enviro400ER operating an evening route 41 to Swords Manor seen here transiting through Dublin Airport.
While route 41 is operated from Summerhill Garage, additional morning & evening peak services are "plugged " by additional buses from Harristown Garage.
By the time this photo was taken in early September 2021, these new plug in electric hybrid buses from Alexander were operating at Broadstone on route 140, Harristown on route 4 & route 122 at Phibsboro. Route 123 will become PA operated during September from Summerhill garage.
Overspill buses, particularly at Phibsboro & Harristown have been appearing on other routes, like the above photo.

Es increÃble la afición (o más bien vicio) que tienen los japoneses con los móviles. En todas partes, en todo momento, están con los ojos clavados a la pantallita. En el tren o en el metro, es un fenómeno algo fuera de lo normal.
Según una estadÃstica propia (asà que rigurosidad nula), diria que de media, en un un tren o metro cualquiera, un 60% de la gente va enganchada al móvil, un 30% va durmiendo, y el otro 10% se lo reparten los que leen algún libro o revista manga, o sencillamente no hacen nada.... o bien se dedican a hacer fotos a los que van enfrente ;)
Eso si... hagan lo que hagan, van todos a su puñetera bola.
Por cierto, en los transportes públicos está prohibido hablar por el móvil, y es obligatorio llevarlo silenciado. Paradojas japonesas.
Esta foto está tomada en el tren que va de Yokohama a Tokyo.
Anyone thinking of getting an electric car?
A relative of mine had a 2 year old prestige! German Plug in Hybrid .
She had just done the school run with the oldest child and returned home, where she Plugged in the car to re charge. Then went to the rear of the car to remove her 2 year old daughter.. She thought she could smell burning so quickly removed the child and within 2 minutes the car was a fireball..
Think I'll stick to being a "Petrolhead for now...
Phone image.
This young man was plugged in, stretched full length on the floor chilling in the shopping mall! Made me smile!
