I can't understand why we have to deal with the Nurse and Teachers in the same way as the lads in the libraries etc. No offence to librarians  but they are not essential . If their is 1 librarians  out of a week you stack the books late but no one really cares.

I mean the part which is under the direct control of the state called Ireland as a opposed to the part occupied by the Brits

wikipedia is inaccurate at times

Don't tell that to Gnevin!
I've often conceded the fact that Wiki is unreliable at times ,hence why I only quote sections of articles which include references .

I remember a few years back finding a bbc article that said it was more accurate per word than encyclopedia Britanicia

Running round corners wil result in instant death, lol! Find a good zone and stick in it, don't go running round the map lookin for kills, let them come to you...make sure you move after you kill someone though, they normally have an idea where you are and will come back for some payback! Move to the other side of the road and shoot the t**t on his way back to find you, lol!

Campers suck.

5 kills in a row is a the magic number . If you get this your boxed off as you get bucket loads of kills with the Air support or other such. Got 5 kills yesterday which got me a Sentry Gun. Which got me about 12 kills and other Sentry Gun.

At the end of the day while there will be some major fudges here such as education. If the PS unions and the govt agree to these for 5 or so years and the PS get no increases in the mean time we can deflate the PS wage bill down rather than actually cutting it and causing out and out strife.


The real issue is that these savings are only half of what is needed.

McHugh's daughter is 17 and it was a token nomination to give her experience of elections I tihnk - she was never going to be a credible candidate.

McHugh himself is something of an interesting character.  The Sunday World had an expose on him a few years back - they revealed that he was having an affair with the daughter of an SAS soldier.  Thus the circumstances around his departure from Sinn Fein for "ideological" differences are now crystal clear

Surely you have to be old enough to vote to be old enough to stand?

Hardly the boy to quote gnevin when you consider the power he gave to the church

Even a foolish man can sometimes be right.  I would disagree with Dev in the context it was originally said it but would agree with the concept he was attempting to convey.

So the Swiss voted in a referendum against building minarets because some extremists misled the people into thinking the warriors of Mohammed were just over the hill about to swarm the country.

Hmm, perhaps Switzerland's WW2 "activities" might still be playing on the Swiss psyche.  Or perhaps the real danger is the encroachment of zionism (note that is 'zionism' - not semitism, the latter is not the former, at all) into our living rooms on a daily basis.

Never have and never will have any time for cats. 

Had terriers and hounds about the place growing up and always loved dogs.  Before I left for the states I had a Doberman for 3 years and he was a great dog.  Had to give him up as he was too much for the folks to handle - managed to get him back to a man in Donegal who owned the dog's Grandfather.  Kennel Club put me in touch with him.

Miss having a dog about the place over here but we just don't have enough room.  If I could get a couple of acres we'd definitely have dogs - think they are great to have around children growing up.

A couple of acres! Are you getting a dog or a horse?
