International departure

Ah yes! The international departure lounge at Connolly Station has all the excitement of the Eurostar terminal in St. Pancras...ahem..not exactly. I guess the border here is more of an historical/administrative 'quirk' than the sheer physicality of the Channel and it's good not to have passports, etc. ;-)

Anyway, en route to speak at the Northern Ireland Astronomical Association on 'Cosmology'. I went on a bit and a bit of a long-winded ramble, but they were polite about it.
