Puddin: can we get organized? We have talk talk about promos in three different threads. Makes it hard to follow who has spotted what where?

Hey give the kid a break

! OK I split this all into the one thread and was updating the spoiler board , first post.

Now I can take some blame here because that one source told me that they were leaving on the 7th but changed to the 2nd or 3rd and thats what set us off running around in the wrong direction but after peach and I sorted it out it was looking like LAX to Ireland was the real start and thats why we started this thread especially with us knowing there were 2 less episodes .... Whatever it was fixed before it started so all is GREAT in rff land and were off to a fresh start

!

And I'll be spending tomorrow in MAPS--right after I get a whole blasted new circuit board! Thought I would have another day to get it fixed!

And of course no big surprise that that is Amsterdam's Central Station!

They will be taking the THALYS to Paris after all!

I can't read the french, but this is the Ouaga statue.

OK, got it. It's Naba Koom, located just outside the railway station.

I can read, speak and translate French pretty well. Here is a translation of THIS above:

This association was born with the will of the team of professionals in the rural world of the southeast Morbihan

Producers
Trainers
Technicians
Researchers
University Students

With the partnership of the closing of the world of Cartenoir and its handicapped workers.

Its initiatives:

Action accompaning the development of long-term agriculture benefitting a great number of inhabitants of TAPOA (300,000 in 8 departments EDITOR's NOTE - in France a Department is like a U.S. State).
Actions in concert with the services of the state, organization of the peasants and the ONG.
Actions involving the population during the proper development as we question our society.

EDITOR's NOTE - It is unclear what TAPOA, ONG and Cartenoir mean, but those could be researched.

Peach, as you well know the route to downtown Amsterdam from Schipol airport is by train to Central station. The picture could have been taken in relation to the arrival of teams in Amsterdam, not their departure. I don't think it guarantees anything about taking the Thalys.

Y'all are killing me here!

I can read French reasonably well too--but I do even better when I click on the pretty "English" Button!

And I'm holding out for a fun train ride! I like trains....

Not to state the obvious, but this looks like a Chinese gong. Probably more Taiwan stuff.

The panniers used look like the ones in this 1955 photo (no copying allowed). I can't see it that clearly, but it might be peat/turf the team is transporting.

I didn't like the looks of the Ministers' "confessional" in front of those green hills...

Are you making us a video of the commercial to share?

Peat is still dug for fuel....

But where are they going in that yacht!?

puddin · « **Reply #62 on:** October 24, 2007, 01:00:09 AM »

Oh my commercials suck and the audio was not set up I can barely hear them without having the speakers on max.

sorry!! I guess we wait and see which team gets the tvguide curse IF we get anything?

Good question; I've tried matching this cap to ferries but no luck so far.

Times up! The answer is Aran Island Ferries. which run out of Galway, Ireland.

Here's a blurb I found on the web:
Today I am taking you to Inishmore the largest island of the Aran Islands group new Galway. From Ros a Mhil Quay you can choose from 2 Ferry Companies "Aran Island Ferries" and "Aran Islands Direct". There are also Ferries leaving from Galway. The ride from Ros a Mhil to Inishmore takes an hour and costs 25 Euros per Adult. It’s worth going for just one day but try to catch the earliest Ferry out. But if you can stay over night or even longer - pubs stay open as long as they want since there is no police on the Island to shut down places. And if there is police on one of the ferries the whole Island will know to behave. To get around on the Island we chose to bike (10 Euro for one day if you are a group of 4 or more you can maybe talk to them to get a rebate...
