Hi tech jobs hi, for derry hi. Whatever will they think of next, hi.

What's Fujitsu in a Derry accent sound like? I imagine Martin McGuinness would be saying Feejitsee hi.

I had a neighbour who had bought a new pick-up. I got up very early one Sunday morning and saw that someone had spray painted red all around the sides of this beige truck (for some unknown reason). I went over, woke him up, and told him the bad news. He was very upset and was trying to figure out what to do probably nothing until Monday morning, since nothing was open. Another neighbor came out and told him to get his WD-40 and clean it off. It removed the unwanted paint beautifully and did not harm his paint job that was on the truck. I'm impressed! WD-40 who knew?

Water Displacement #40. The product began from a search for a rust preventative solvent and degre aser to protect missile parts. WD-40 was created in 1953 by three technici ans at the San Diego Rocket Chemical Company. Its name comes from the project that was to find a "water displacement" compound. They were successful with the fortieth formulation, thus WD-40. The Corvair Company bought it in bulk to protect their atlas missile parts.

Ken East (one of the original founders) says there is nothing in WD-40 that would hurt you.

When you read the "shower door" part, try it. It's the first thing that has ever cleaned that spotty shower door. If yours is plastic, it works just as well as glass. It's a miracle! Then try it on your stovetop... Voila! It's now shinier than it's ever been. You'll be amazed.

Here are some of the uses:

1)   Protects silver from tarnishing.
2)   Removes road tar and grime from cars.
3)   Cleans and lubricates guitar strings.
4)   Gives floors that 'just-waxed' sheen without making it slippery.
5)   Keeps flies off cows.
6)   Restores and cleans chalkboards.
7)   Removes lipstick stains.
   Loosens stubborn zippers.
9)   Untangles jewellery chains.
10)   Removes stains from stainless steel sinks.
11)   Removes dirt and grime from the barbecue grill.
12)   Keeps ceramic/te rra co tta garden pots from oxidizing.

16)   Keeps scissors working smoothly.
17)   Lubricates noisy door hinges on vehicles and doors in homes
18)   It removes black scuff marks from the kitchen floor! Use WD-40 for those nasty tar and scuff marks on flooring. It doesn't seem to harm the finish and you won't have to scrub nearly as hard to get them off. Just remember to open some windows if you have a lot of marks.
19)   Bug guts will eat away the finish on your car if not removed quickly! Use WD-40!
20)   Gives a children's play gym slide a shine for a super fast slide.
21)   Lubricates gear shift and mower deck lever for ease of handling on riding mowers.
22)   Rids kids rocking chairs and swings of squeaky noises.
23)   Lubricates tracks in sticking home windows and makes them easier to open.
24)   Spraying an umbrella stem makes it easier to open and close.

31)   Removes splattered grease on stove.
32)   Keeps bathroom mirror from fogging.
33)   Lubricates prosthetic limbs.
34)   Keeps pigeons off the balcony (they hate the smell).
35)   Removes all traces of duct tape.
36)   Folks even spray it on their arms, hands, and knees to relieve arthritis pain.
37)   Florida's favourite use is: "cleans and removes love bugs from grills and bumpers."
38)   The favourite use in the state of New York WD-40 protects the Statue of Liberty from the elements.
39)   WD-40 attracts fish. Spray a LI TTLE on live bait or lures and you will be catching the big one in no time. Also, it's a lot cheaper than the chemical attractants that are made for just that purpose. Keep in mind though, using some chemical laced baits or lures for fishing are not allowed in some states.
40)   Use it for fire ant bites. It takes the sting away immediately and stops the itch.
41)   WD-40 is great for removing crayon from walls. Spray on the mark and wipe with a clean rag.
42)   Also, if you've discovered that your teenage daughter has washed and dried a tube of lipstick with a load of laundry, saturate the lipstick spots with WD-40 and re-wash. Presto! Lipstick is gone!
43)   If you sprayed WD-40 on the distributor cap, it would displace the moisture and allow the car to start.
P. S. The basic ingredient is FISH OIL.

When playing in a doubles competition, shots are given based on the lowest handicap in the fourball.

The actual number of shots is three quarters of the difference. Should I round up or round down when calculating three quarters?

The police have nothing to go on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Heard on the radio this morning that Conor Murphy has instructed his staff not to say "Northern Ireland" when referring to the occupied six counties!

There are only 229 shoplifting days left until Christmas.

Oh dear oh dear oh dear

Gadzooks!

Third to the throne is on his way to foreign lands, to meet interesting people and to kill them. Wouldn't it be nice to be the first royal since XXX to have a confirmed kill? I've no idea who the last royal was that killed someone.

How come they remember what I saved on them?

Does anyone know the full link between a butterfly flapping its wings causing a hurricane on the other side of the world?

There'll be no sex in the north of Ireland, thank you very much.

The House of Lords has backed Belfast City Council's decision not to grant a licence to a sex shop

But hang on, don't all OWC read the Sun and the Star? Isn't Ballymena the Irish capital for wife swapping? What gives?

Who remembers their first ever football boots?

I remember scouring over my mothers Freemans Catalogue (steering clear of the ladies underwear section of course) and there being a choice of about 3 pairs of boots.

When I got them I wore them constantly for a week, and I was the best player in the world (against my sisters anyway).

If there was one event in GAA history that you could go back and change what would it be?

While Armagh's semi-final defeats in 1999 and 2000 were hard to take, I'd like to go back and undo Diarmuid Marsdens sending off in the 2003 AI Final.

Is it time for a Croke Park cricket match?
Wednesday, April 04, 2007

On St Patrick's weekend we had the usual exodus of Irish politicians heading out of the country with overpaid expenses in their pockets on so-called promotional trips around the globe.

It turned out that the butcher, the baker and the candlestick maker were the real ambassadors for Ireland over the holiday weekend.

Ireland's amateur cricketers, along with their small army of supporters, lit up the country on the world sporting stage.

It really satisfies the soul to witness what is becoming a modern multi-cultural country far removed from De Valera's dour Ireland of 50 years ago, where Catholic school curriculums when it came to sporting activities offered us the stark choice of 'God only plays Gaelic games' and those of us who did manage to get our hands on cricket balls were looked upon by many priests and teachers as committing a mortal sin.

If the present trend of substantial immigration into Ireland continues over the next 30 years, I wouldn't bet against the government of the day's compulsory purchasing Croke Park due to a lack of interest in Gaelic games and the massive need to satisfy the sporting appetite of the vast majority.

With cricket seemingly making a welcome comeback in the Republic, would it not be a great idea to celebrate the north of Ireland's power-sharing agreement to stage a friendly cricket match at Croke Park stadium?

Orange versus the Green - it would be well worth the entrance fee just to watch Paisley trying to bowl Adams out leg before wicket, while Blair and Ahern watch from their silly mid-on positions, maybe giving us a little flavour of what we can expect when the Northern Ireland politicians take up their positions in May.

Buffini, you've been away too long.

Ok, which is which? The one on the left is either him or his brother.

Not much history between these two teams, so I think it should be an interesting match.

To be honest, I'd not mind a year in Division 3. It would certainly flush out the old guard (perhaps including large Joseph), give us a chance to bind together the next generation.

Its yours for the taking Westmeath, if you're man enough.
