....if you've made a mess of your life change it. Change it today, not tomorrow. If you are uncertain find out why, and be certain. If your thinking is not straight, think straight, logically. Unless all that is prepared, all that is settled, you can't enter into this world of creation.

clipper's remarks: they might not have the resources to deal with that many people
here there are various degrees of drunkeness
being tipsy,merry,scuttered,plastered etc.
they do stand to make a fortune on this
Its lazy policing if you ask me
a quick buck like a lot of stuff that goes on
they call it the nanny state
well thats what you get with paternal authority
and everyone depending on them to take care of everything

Fuel a car with wine

clipper's remarks: although I can't imagine it workin too well in Ireland
where drink driving is already outlawed
and binge drinking is the norm for a lot of people

How can you fuel a car with wine?

Think of hillbillies brewing up staggeringly alcoholic moonshine and you're most of the way there. The modern miracle of turning wine into automotive fuel is all down to the fine art of distillation.

When Aston Martin heard that Prince Charles wanted to run his DB5 run-around on bioethanol, they contacted Gloucester-based Green Fuels for help. The company bought in 8,000 litres of surplus white wine from a nearby vineyard - for a mere 1p a litre - and ran it through their distillery. Understandably, the vineyard's owner is keeping his head down, for fear of mobs in search of free plonk.

Green Fuels ended up with hundreds of litres of 99.8% pure ethano

ready to go, on a mix of 85% ethanol and 15% petrol.

only waste is fruit juice

to make biogas for electricity,

ethanol was sold for £1.10 a litre.

Any car can be converted to run on it,

not something we'd recommend people do at home

You're producing something that's extremely flammable."

Brenda Donohue's Read Dating

Well you've heard of blind dates, double dates, the Knock Dating Bureau, internet dating, speed dating - and now we bring you the very latest approach in the dating game: read dating!

Read dating is 'a method of meeting a potential romantic partner by attending a read dating event, in which each person meets a series of individuals, and talks briefly to them about a favourite book'.

We are looking for 5 men and 5 women (who are single) to participate in Ireland's first read dating event! Are you sick of meeting people in crowded pubs and clubs, where you can never hear conversation? Do you find it difficult to meet like-minded potential dates? Do you want to meet your own book-loving Mr. or Ms. Right?

The first Irish read-dating event is taking place on Monday, June 16th, which is also Bloomsday. It will take place in Dublin's Ilac Centre library,

describe your ideal partner and tell us your favourite books

You must be single
You must be over 18

Good things - Culture, following of music, rich history.. Great sights to see, not too hot (although rains a bit too much).

Bad things - Expensive to live here, housing costs, food, drink, Stupid things like VRT... Awful health system and roadworks. Weather is about as predictable as an ostrich on steroids.

Still in saying that, I like Ireland. Just a bit costly. But if you're rich and healthy, the craic is ninety.

People, scenery, culture, decent Guinness, relatively safe, little or no chance of being killed in a natural disaster.

No doubt the usual suspects will be on saying how much better things are in Belgium or wherever but that's my opinion

Good Things: Our sense of pride, our down to earth attitude, our dark humour, Father Ted, The fact we turned ourselves from a third world country into a rich country and our ability to absorbs huge quantities of alochol

Bad Things: Justice and Health System, Very limited on what you can buy, expensive and Knackers

The legendary absence of snakes on the Emerald Isle has less to do with St. Patrick, its patron saint, than an ice-age chill followed by rising seas.

Hill of Tara- illegal motorway going ahead

Thu, 13 Mar 2008 18:13:42 GMT

clipped by: tidbit2
clipper's remarks: What spurred me to do this is that | just heard a report on the radio about a young woman called squeek (nickname we all have one)is in an underground tunnel , made as a protest to stop the undergoing of work on the m3 motorway to dublin- the capital city of Ireland which has seen massive growth with immigrant workers and the economic boom (celtic tiger)
There are many people making massive journeys to and from work in dublin
which is probably the main reason for the development
there is a green party minister of the environment who promised to stop the before election who hasn't
The european parliment seem to have deemed it illegal but to no avail
The protestors obviously seem passionate about this major part of the countries heritage
but I don't believe protesting is the only way
I think persuasion of the public
informing the public of the importance of the hill of tara
possibly through literature and/or t.v
making a programme focused on the issue would definitely attract

clipper's remarks: hope the Irish clippers see this

Clip Source: anpost.screenclick.com

Screenclick (formerly DVDrentals) was established in 2001 when we realised Ireland could really use a service which was more convenient and less expensive than traditional video stores.

We knew Irish customers were being ripped off with poor choice and extortionate Late Fees from some video stores so we promised to never impose late charges and constantly develop the catalogue.

With many counties, towns and villages being located far from even the most basic video or DVDRental stores, we thought Free Delivery would help too.

Finally, we knew that customers who signed up to a Rental Package deserved the freedom to leave the service whenever they wanted, without obligation.

Fully Irish owned, Screenclick is a service by Film Fans for Film Fans. We hope you find it affordable, efficient and very very convenient. No matter where you are living, be it Dublin, Donegal, Wexford or Wicklow the service is the same for all. [Big Hello to Sean B. on Inis Mor!]
