I will agree this is what most reasonable people think should be the rule for using deadly force. However, federal law enforcement personnel have up to six circumstances where the use of deadly force is authorized: Self defense and/or defense of others Assets involving National security (Think...

The Delaware, Lackawanna, & Western Railroad Company's Hoboken, NJ, to Buffalo, NY, mainline ran through my hometown of Dansville, NY. As a child, I could walk the ROW over Dansville hill. There are some interesting stations and viaducts along this route. If you really want to get a feel for...

Hiya Ed, I am sure any stateroom in the Britannia Restaurant is considered "Steerage" by those in the Grills Restaurants. Any cabin is fine..."When I go over the sea; Queen Mary takes me".

I really think my days are numbered when I fly. I was in the Navy for 27 years and during that time I was involved in a few incidents involving flying machines. What type of things? Hmm...port side engine flame out and hydraulic failure in a C-141 (controlled crash at Pope AFB) en-route from...

Hmm...isn't this the place that makes the yummy Lemon Chicken? I think most people are mostly confused by the name of the place and what they actually serve, if memory serves.

My son lives in Dunoon...the new ferry service is very basic and can be unpleasant if one is prone to sea sickness. I will be going again in November 2016. Sorry for this late reply.

The Man in Seat 61 says you need the two-pin to charge "your mobile" in the shaver port. Nothing wrong with buying both and not having to use one...rather than having the one and needing the other.

If I get a chance to have a look...and if I have the time to use one...I will certainly let you know. My charging cube says 100-240 v. I suppose it will function without shorting out all the circuits on the train and B&B. Thanks. The last time I was in the UK my US made products did not work. I...

I didn't notice an upper berth in my accommodation. Maybe the first class private is single bunk? I did notice the small shelf about the sink and about 6 hangers. I believe the camera backpack and medium size travel bag will fit on that shelf and my garment bag could hang or fit up against the...

Hello and Thank you all! I have read the bit about the Caledonian Sleeper from the Man in Seat 61. Additionally, Rick Steves supplemented that information. Alas, I had no previous experience with the fare supplement and extras; so when I saw the full fare I thought I was only paying the...

Attention all ScotRail experts: I booked a journey from London Euston to Aberdeen for November 1, 2016. I paid for the single first class accommodation and prepaid 10 GPB for the evening meal. I ended paying the full tariff because the option for the BritRail Pass wasn't available, so I know I...

Sarah mentioned Chinatown. The best restaurant in Chinatown is Lao Sze Chuan and the best item on their menu is Tony's Chicken with Three Chili's, A.K.A. Crack Chicken. One bite of this spicy chicken heaven and your are hooked...jonesing for your next fix! It is really good and full of...

Hi Ryan, I am retired from the US Navy and I was stationed at the Holy Loch and I have family in Dunoon. I visit regularly. Normally, I take the RMS Queen Mary 2 across the pond, but my information will be useful. First, you can fly directly into Glasgow Airport and just take a taxi to the...

The jug states "Our own special blend", so I think it's real syrup...just not pure maple syrup. My taste buds tell me it's better than Mrs. Butterworth's syrup, just not as good as Cary's premium 100% grade A maple syrup. Perhaps someone with a specialized, dare I say "insider", knowledge can...

I traveled on the LSL in late-December and, again, in early-January. I was Eastbound and the Chef was featuring a special with Railroad French Toast and scrambled eggs. I don't think the SA offered a full plate of French Toast. Yes, they had those less than savory pancakes on on the Westbound...
