As some of you may know I used to be a bus driver here in Dublin. This is an old photo of me and my workmates who were some of the "chosen few" and were privileged to be allowed to drive these old buses.

He is the one kneeling down. That is Brendan.

He's the most handsome in that photo...;-)
Yes he is, Aer Bren was always a looker... and usually front and center too.
The bus on the right has a Belfast reg
and a G.N.R fleet number it must have been based in Dundalk.The 1959 bus you
were driving was a Leyland Titan R and
if it was a single a Leyland Tiger P
Can' beat our Paul for the down to earth facts.
And I thought I was a gear-head... yay Paul..
I think you are the image of Tony Hadley from Spandau Ballet and/or Robert Mitcham.
So true... funny how it seems.. la la di da.
errrr.. aer Brenno. And Brendan does an excellent Robert Mitchum walk... Do you guys remember when we would do that.. Go into the hall and pick up a coat and come in pretending to be someone else.. So funny and delightful to think about. What fun we had.

i remember the walk and the smoke just tipping out of his mouth.. very funny.
