Laminátka 240.039 PSŽ v čele prázdnej "repy" sa pomaly chystá k odchodu zo žst. Sereď. V pozadí pomaly vychláda 742.384, ktorá prišla strojne z Vlčian.
A fishing coble that once belonged to a local fisherman, Repus was found in a bad condition in South Gare at the mouth of the Tees and subsequently restored as a memorial to fishermen lost in the North Sea.
La loi de la jungle ou de la nature
Observer l'animal à l'état pur
La machoire aiguiser comme un sabre
Le chien jappe à l'arbre
Humain, animal, qui ressemble à qui
Le chien, notre meilleur ami
Ou l'homme, à la fois mauvais et gentil
Du début des temps jusqu'à l'infini
Je crois que les deux s'apparentent
Ce n'est pas là ce qui m'enchante
Mais malgré tout, preuve à l'appui
L'homme est le pire ennemi
Malgré son intelligence
Il complote, il manigance
Pour obtenir le pouvoir
Il est prêt à tous les déboires
Dès qu'il a flairé l'odeur
De la puissance...être supérieur
L'homme fait fi des algarades
Il oublie même ses camarades
Il foulera du pied la terre
Partira loin de sa mère
Combattra contre des illusions
Car personne ne sera champion
L'animal attaque pour sa survie
Jamais contre un ennemi
S'il est repu, il est gentil
Sauf si l'homme lui a appris
Les enfants de l'avenir
Devront apprendre à survivre
Si les pères partent à la guerre
Au lieu de respecter la terre
L'ère du verseau est fragile
Nous l'espérons plus utile
Que l'humanité se réveille
Opte pour l'amour universel
(Sue 2007)
... le nigaud n'étant pas celui qu'on imagine ... Pixel, malin, a depuis longtemps réussi à nous faire croire:
1. qu'il était allergique aux "pipettes" d'anti-puces et autres vermifuges ... en se grattant comme un perdu à l'instant même où le produit entre en contact avec sa peau délicate ...
2. qu'il ne saurait avaler le moindre comprimé sans un maximum de bonnes choses pour en masquer le goût ... en léchant d'abord tout le yaourt autour du cachet ou de ses miettes, puis la pâtée, le thon ... etc ... jusqu'à ce qu'on finisse par supposer qu'il a bien du l'avaler puisqu'il ne reste plus rien d'identifiable dans l'assiette ... ou jusqu'à ce qu'il s'en aille, repu et content de nous avoir bernés une fois de plus ...
The traditional fishing coble 'Repus', was found in bad repair at South Gare but was discovered to have once belonged to a Skinningrove fisherman who had died in the 1980s. Its name is just 'super' spelled backwards. The boat was built at Redcar in 1963 and retired from the fishing register in November 1996. Local people repaired the boat and provided two chainsaw-carved figures in 2008 as a memorial to all fishermen lost at sea off the Grove

"Un jour s'abat, vienne le lendemain promis..."

On the day we visited, the boat had been painted almost all white. I assume it was being prepared for painting in traditional colours. Cobles were often painted a certain colour to associate it with the village of origin (Staithes boats were painted mid to dark blue and red and white in a variety of combinations, for example)

Attrape-la, elle est déjà ailleurs ! avait-elle poursuivi de son écriture impatiente. Elle n’était toujours pas là. Juste deux gros ballons, comme des lapins repus, qui se laissaient approcher facilement. La couleur, par contre, était insaisissable. Là où il attendait du jaune, il y avait du rouge. Là où il croyait toucher le rouge, il caressait le jaune. C’est à croire que les couleurs rebondissaient pour échapper aux regards. Mais ça, Antoine le savait depuis longtemps. C’est quand on ne regarde pas que les choses se passent. Et peut-être que les couleurs, c’est comme le caractère, ça peut changer en fonction du moment et de l’endroit.
Catch her, she's already elsewhere! she had continued with her impatient writing. She still wasn't there. Just two big balloons, like sated rabbits, which were easily approached. Color, on the other hand, was elusive. Where he expected yellow, there was red. Where he thought he touched the red, he stroked the yellow. It is as if the colors were bouncing around to escape sight. But that Antoine had known for a long time. It's when you don't watch that things happen. And maybe colors are like character, it can change depending on time and place.
Litchi s’esquive, il est confus
Il a mangé tout leur quatre-heures
Tout leur quatre-heures avant midi!
Chevaux, les ânes, l’ânon crient:
Hue! Faquin! Han! Écornifleur!
Il est confus… sourd et repu.

Fotografies de la zona de combats de la Batalla del Ebre (1938).
Aquest és un dels bunquers que protegien la Cota 562, excavat l'any 2011. Tots foren rebentats per extreure'n el ferro a la postguerra, i abandonats. Ara, aquest ha estat reconstruit, recuperant la seva fermesa original. Un bunquer entre les oliveres.
Els darrers i dramatics combats de la batalla es produiren en una posició vital per protegir la retirada del exèrcit republicà: Los Raimats, al nord de La Fatarella. Intuint la cabdal importancia d'aquesta posició, els republicans la fortificaren a consciencia, amb moltes trinxeres conectant vuit bunquers de formigó, la majoria per ametralladores però com a mínim un per un canó antitanc. L'assalt final començà el 14 de novembre: les tropes feixistes ocuparen La Fatarella i continuaren cap a Raimats amb molts tancs. El comandant alemany Gustav Trippe va morir allà. Els defensors de la XV Brigada perderen algunes posicións (Cota 554), però aguantaren, mentre la resta del exercit creuava l'Ebre per Flix i Riba-roja.
El 15 de novembre s'incrementà l'atac, amb molta artilleria i aviació. Els tancs T26 dispararen directament contra les troneres dels bunquers per matar els defensors. Això va permetre que la infanteria assaltés les darreres defenses de la Cota 562, morint casi tots els defensors. Riba-roja i Flix varen caure el dia 16, però l'exercit del Ebre no havia estat aniquilat.
La batalla de l'Ebre (25 juliol - 16 novembre de 1938) fou la més important i mortifera de la guerra civil espanyola. Hi ha que també la consideren també la més decisiva, però crec que per desgracia la guerra ja estava decidida de molt abans, com a minim des del trencament del front d'Aragó el 9 de març del mateix any.
Tot i que l'exèrcit republicà creuà l'Ebre el 25 de juliol del 1938 per molts punts entre Mequinensa i Amposta, la major part dels combats de la batalla es donaren a la Terra Alta, a la zona entre Vilalba dels Arcs, La Fatarella, Camposines i Gandesa, a més de la Serra de Pandols.

This is part of the Ebro battlefield (1938), in Southern Catalonia.
This is one of the bunkers in Hill 562, the key position in the whole sector. All of them where scavenged for iron after the war, and abandoned & buried. But some have been excavated and this one even rebuilt to it's former concrete might. This is Raimats, this is Hill 562.
The last and dramatic combats of the battle took place in a vital position to protect the retreat of the Republican Army: "Los Raimats", north of La Fatarella. Sensing the paramount importance of this position, the Republicans conscientiously fortified it, with many trenches connecting eight concrete bunkers, most armed with machine guns but at least one with an anti-tank gun. The final assault began on November 14: the fascist troops occupied La Fatarella and continued towards Raimats with many tanks. German Commander Gustav Trippe died in the first assault. The defenders of the XV Brigade lost some positions (hill 554, were this bunker stands), but held on, while the rest of the Republican Army crossed the Ebro by Flix and Riba-roja.
On 15th November the attack increased, with much artillery and aviation bombing. T26 tanks fired directly at the bunkers' embrasures, killing the defenders. This allowed the infantry to assault the last defenses of Hill 562, killing almost all the defenders. Riba-roja and Flix fell on the 16th, but the Ebro army had not been annihilated.
The Battle of the Ebro (July 25 - November 16, 1938) was the most important and deadlier of the Spanish Civil War. There are those who also consider it the most decisive, but I think that unfortunately the war was already decided long before, at least since the breaking of the front of Aragon on March 9 of the same year.
The battle began with the greatest offensive made by the Republican forces, when they crossed the river Ebro between Mequinensa and Amposta (especially between Riba-roja and Miravet), and advanced to the line La Pobla de Massaluca -Vilalba dels Arcs -Gandesa - Serra de Pandols . But in just 48 hours, the dazzling advance was stopped short. Then Franco decided to crush the republican forces hill by hill (with massive artillery and bomber barrages), in a battle of attrition identical to the First World War for which the Republicans had no resources or alternative, especially with the river behind them. The main assaults, which lasted from August 10 to October 29, were concentrated in a very small and devastated area: the triangle Vertex Gaeta - Corbera - Camposines.
Finally, a final offensive on October 30 occupied the ridge of the Serra de Cavalls, making the entire Republican bridgehead unsustainable, which managed, however, to withdraw in an orderly manner until November 16. But the damage was already done, and there were no forces left for a proper defense of Catalonia, which fell three months later. Then, fascist darkness.

Mazda Rotary Pick Up (1974) at the Mazda Classic - Automobil Museum Frey in Augsburg, Germany.
In the 1970s, Mazda offered a rotary engined version of the B-series pick up truck on the US market. As sales plummeted due to the 1970s energy crisis, the REPU was discontinued after three years and remains the only pick up truck with a Wankel engine. This particular vehicle is one of the 600 tow trucks on REPU basis.

THE ‘REPUS’ BOAT
This vessel was a working fishing coble based at Whitby then later
abandoned at South Gare, near the entrance to the River Tees. It was
due to be part of a bonfire when it was rescued and brought to
Skinningrove, the home of its owner. The boat was restored and wooden
figures added to recognise those lost at sea in this area.

This is the view that the Republican forces had of the last battlefield of that battle, seen from the fortified positions at Raimats, north of La Fatarella.

The traditional fishing coble 'Repus', was found in bad repair at South Gare but was discovered to have once belonged to a Skinningrove fisherman who had died in the 1980s. Its name is just 'super' spelled backwards. The boat was built at Redcar in 1963 and retired from the fishing register in November 1996. Local people repaired the boat and provided two chainsaw-carved figures in 2008 as a memorial to all fishermen lost at sea off the Grove
The boat was being prepared for re-painting when the photo was taken (July 2018)
