    Idea for new type car transmission, what next?

    Whats the betting that he has independently invented CVT transmissions in his head. Tough luck that someone got there before you but kudos for thinking of it independently.

    2 Firefighters killed today in Ireland

    "All Give Some...Some Give All" http://www.rte.ie/news/2007/0929/wicklow_av.html A very sad day for Bray indeed. I actually knew FF Mark O'Shaugnessy personally. He was a friend of my brothers and was often in our house. You could not meet a nicer guy as cliched as that may sound. He...

    How noisy is your 360 dvd drive

    I have the loud drive but its silent compared to the mother off all jet engines that are the fans. My 360 is only quiet playing a dvd when the fans spin down. Fans go full tilt on Dashboard and in game in either horizontal or vertical. Not in a cabinet either. Air rushing out the back is only...

    Inlaws driving me mad

    No its more of a Protestant thing. Well, of the middle america bible belt evangelical type anyway. Pope JPII supported Darwins theory of Evolution though the new chap is back tracking apparently. No catholic I know denies Darwin or supports creationism(6000yo). Me, I'm a...

    3 Nil to the Keyboard Warriors!!

    I'm not in a UK jurisdiction so the prosecution wont help in restoring your faith in the UK judicial system I'm afraid. I will update of course. As for CCTV we have it but its on the blink! Typical isn't it! The guy is a smack head. ID'd him this afternoon no problem. You want to see the...

    3 Nil to the Keyboard Warriors!!

    Bit of excitement last night at our family Newsagents. I was in the back store room gathering up some stock when I heard shouting from the shop floor. Legged it out from the back store and there was a Hoody wearing Scumbag with my brother in a headlock with his left arm and a knife to the...

    Skanger my Banger

    I certainly wasn't intimating that they were skangers/chavs. They are serious modders and while the modded pugs might not be to my taste, they have done a fabulous job on them. Its not so much that I don't like how the cars look but I can't get my head around spending that kind of money to get...

    Skanger my Banger

    Not that you need any explanation but a skanger is the Dublin Irish term for Chav. Another interesting titbit of info about that clip is the guy who made it and plays the skanger and colin Farrell is into modding cars himself too. So the vid is a bit self depracating. He has a sense of...

    Giving up smoking... an online diary.

    Jaysus, if I was still craving them that much after 3 years, I'd wonder was it worth the grief

    Elton John suggests we ban organised religion

    No, he doesn't want to force you to do anything other than think for yourself. Now where is that animated gif with the little stick figure banging his head into a bloody pulp in frustration when you need it. :D

    Elton John suggests we ban organised religion

    I'd be a weak atheist too. I don't believe there is a God but I can kind of see where the agnostics are coming from. I've posted this before but I'll say it again. I still fail to see how having philosophical questions about the existence or non existance of a creator of the universe is the...

    There are still some decent people out there

    Was putting a shopping trolley back in the trolley bay after putting my shopping in the boot when I found a handbag hanging on the back of the last docked trolley. Looked around and no one was in that area of the carpark. Dropped it into the Customer Service desk and gave my name when asked...

    Ancient manuscript discovered in Ireland

    SPAM? First post was the offending one. Fair enough, second was an explaination of why I made the offending post and third post was the appology for breaking forum rules. The spam was all 10+ "No, you are a gobs....", "You are an idiot", "the mods are comin' to get you na na nana na" :D No...

    Ancient manuscript discovered in Ireland

    I can often sense an 'Irish joke' coming in someones post before I have even finished reading it and nine times out of ten I will laugh myself too even when the 'joke' is playing on national stereotypes, drunken thick paddies etc. In the context of a thread an 'Irish' joke may still be funny to...
