Colin Jackson - Don Valley Stadium
Athletics Grand Prix - August 2005
A great day of athletics.
The sun shone, the cider flowed, Kelly Holmes flew into the stadium in a helicopter and ran in her final 800m before retirement, Maurice Greene did god knows how many false starts in the 100m and was DQed, we got to meet Dwight Phillips outside the Cocked Hat and he signed my ticket *and* we watched Colin Jackson and Hazel Irvine commentating... all in all a good day. I was quite merry I seem to recall :)
It's just a shame I had such a crappy camera back then! Oh well, the photos are just as nice to look back on.
This week we are going back forty-one years to 1982 and to D 397 on Burgh Quay. The bus is dressed for route 62. This route started operating in 1936, being extended from Goatstown to Kilmacud in 1962, and to Beaufield Park (behind the Stillorgan Shopping Centre) in 1966. The route ceased to operate in 1999 when it was replaced by an extended route 11.
D 397 was new to CIE in 1971 and was withdrawn in 1985.

Isa sa mga retired (?) units ng MALTC. Kailan kaya darating ang kapalit mo? Haha.
Nakunan ng mga panahon na may Saturday trips pa ang MALTC pa-Aurora.

A vacation to Mexico City led to DeGrazia’s seminal one-man show at the Palacio de Bellas Artes in 1942. He and his wife Alexandra left a ballet performance at intermission when DeGrazia said, “Diego Rivera is doing murals at the Palacio Municipal…he might be working late, it’s worth a try.” They gave a guard $5, met Rivera and his wife Frida Kahlo, and the norteamericano was “ecstatic” when Rivera took him on as his student-assistant. DeGrazia’s 1942 show was again exhibited in Mexico City at the Museo Estudio Diego Rivera 50 years later. Happy Throwback Thursday!

This weeks theme? 80's. I have to tell you that I got all dressed up but my pictures stunk. My bangs are too heavy and just don't remember how to stand up straight. My braided leather belt is still the same length but my hips...not so much. It just doesn't hang right now. The end of it, that we used to loop around and back through the belt is just a little nub.
But I still have a huge chambray shirt circa late 80's early 90's. I still know how to apply black eyeliner to the inside of my lids. And I've still got some awesome scrunch socks. Yep, I still got it.
And who can remember the 80's without busting out their Aqua Net. You gotta have that hairdryer to get the full on wing effect to the hair. The comb makes for easy teasing on the bangs, provided they aren't too long. And you just can't go wrong with a finger full of tulip rings and that Swatch!
I swear, if banana clips ever come back in style. I'm there. I'm so there.
This week’s Throwback Thursday photos are from December 29, 1962 – a 2nd alarm at 41 Reid Avenue in Brooklyn.
Pepsi and Coke have both recently had a push to reintodce their popular sodas with pure cane soda instead of high fructose corn syrup, which has been oten used since the early 1980's. Corn Syrup is cheaper but many people say cane sugar tastes better.
For Pepsi products returning to cane sugar, they've returned to an old logo and added the word "Throwback." I drink more Mountain Dew than any other soda and I could tell a subtle difference.
Jamsession ist das Motto diese Woche bei #TBT. Und damit meinen wir Fotos von Menschen mit ihren Instrumenten im weitesten Sinne. Teilt also eure alten Fotos aus euren Orchestertagen, vom Streichquartett eurer Großtante oder dem Tag als ihr die Gitarre mit an den See genommen habt.
Teilt die Fotos indem ihr die Flickr Foto-URL auf Facebook im Kommentarfeld postet oder auf Twitter teilt (@Flickr #TBT #Jamming).
Eine Auswahl der besten Bilder zeigen wir nächste Woche im Flickr Blog.

This week we are going back thirty-seven years to KC 3, parked in Phibsborough Garage.
This bus was new to CIE in 1984. Whereas KC 1 was built by FFG in Hamburg, and KC 2 was built in Bombardier, KC 3 was the first KC built by GAC who also build the rest of the fleet, up to KC 202. KC 3 was initially allocated to Cork, before moving up to Dublin Although the bus did operate in passenger service, it did spend some time as a driver training bus. As a result it gained a second mirror behind the door for the instructor to use. The bus was withdrawn by Dublin Bus from service in the late-1990s.
Phibsboro Garage opened in 1971, built on part of the old railway yard at Broadstone Station. That station closed to passenger traffic in 1937, and closed completely in 1961. The station complex is currently home to the Bus Eireann main depot, and more recently a Dublin Bus depot.

In 1949, the DeGrazia's bought 10-acres of land in the Santa Catalina Foothills, north of Tucson. Soon after Ted and Marion began to build their home on the grounds, at this time there was no electricity, water, or services. All supplies that they needed had to be transported from Tucson. They cooked their food in an old wood-burning stove and took showers outside with water from a bucket. Happy Throwback Thursday!
USS RUSHMORE (March 20, 2013) Sergeant Steve E. Barrientos, fire direction controller, 1st Platoon, Battery B, Battalion Landing Team 3/5, 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit, practices techniques from the Marine Corps Martial Arts Program aboard USS Rushmore, March 20. Barrientos, 23, is from Fontana, Calif. He joined to become an FDC because he thought it would best utilize his skills and because it was his lifelong dream. To pass time while deployed, he plays poker, reads and hangs out with his friends. His favorite part of the deployment has been training in foreign countries. He looks forward to going home to see his son and visiting his family. The 15th MEU is deployed as part of the Peleliu Amphibious Ready Group as a U.S. Central Command theater reserve force, providing support for maritime security operations and theater security cooperation efforts in the U.S. 5th Fleet area of responsibility.

This week we are going back fifteen years to RV 597 on Suffolk Street with a service on route 145 to Heuston Station.
The first route 145 was a local route in Bray that ran between Palermo, Ballywaltrim and Kilmacanogue. This route started in 1995 and operated under the Localink brand using minibuses. In 2004 the route underwent a massive transformation when it was altered to run from Kilmacanogue to Mountjoy Square in the city centre. In 2010 the route was altered under Network Direct, when route 92 was merged into it, and the 145 moved it's city centre terminus to Heuston Station. In 2015 the route was cut back from Kilmacanogue to terminate at Ballywaltrim instead. The route last ran on the 25th January 2025. The following day the E-Spine changes under Bus Connects were implemented, and route 145 was partially replaced by routes E1 and 4.
RV 597 was new to Dublin Bus in 1999. It was withdrawn in September 2012, and was sold on to an operator in the United Kingdom.
Suffolk Street was a main artery for bus routes in the city centre for decades. However, buses were diverted away from it in January 2015 due to Luas Cross City works, and the street is effectively pedestrianised now.
