    Earthquake hits US East Coast

    Magnitude 6 in Virginia. Not huge, but they aren't cut out for them on that close. Not far from Washington and felt as far away as New York

    Undercover sting operations target rogue taxi drivers

    http://www.examiner.ie/ireland/undercover-sting-operations-target-rogue-taxi-drivers-at-airport-164784.html#ixzz1VSjr8GZX As has been noted on here, I've had a similar experience at the airport with a driver unhappy that I was only going paying a E10 fare to get home It seems they're belatedly...

    Has anyone seen a hypersonic plane?

    You may have heard snatches about that plane this morning. It was going to do London-Sydney in 1 hour. Unfortunately, the test flight hasn't gone well and they've lost it. So lost it that they don't know if it's burned up, gone into space or crashed to ground. So long as it's not about to cresh...

    Republicans take over Alliance Party HQ

    Supposdly protesting about prison conditions. Still, a very undemocratic move. They have loads of wonderful language about equality, rights, democracy etc., but seem to have huge problems applying the rhetoric.

    Indiana/Kentucky

    A bit of an odd request. I'm flying into Chicago in September and picking up a hire car. Given the time of the flights and the fact that I have to book my first night's hotel for ESTA approval, I'll be looking to stay somwehere 3-5 hours south of Chicago, which Google Maps informs me is the...

    It turns out the Jews don't rule the world.

    Seeing as we know that S&P rule the world... S&P have downgraded Israeli bonds now, so unless they are Jew-hating Jews, we have to conclude the old allegations are false.

    Have we turned the corner?

    It might seem a strange thread to start considering the market turmoil of recent days... Some people might remember me arguing a few weeks back that Ireland was now out of the woods barring external shocks. That wasn't to say that time weren't going to be hard for a few years, but that at least...

    Live Register Figures

    Trying to discuss them without someone sticking up a Yes for Jobs poster seeing that unemployment is, in itself worthy of discussion... http://www.cso.ie/releasespublications/documents/labour_market/2011/lreg_july2011.pdf First thing that strikes me there is that comparing the percentage and...

    AA Roadwatch

    All they ever say is that traffic is heavy on Patrick St. Do they not realise that nobody every plans to drive the length of it as part of any journey anyway? I reckon they just have a standard piece of bullshit for all the provincial cities. I'm led to believe that every day traffic in Galway...

    List of NAMA Properies

    http://namawinelake.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/namaenforcement.pdf Approximately 40% of those in the Republic are in Dublin lending some credence to the idea that NAMA is the rest of the country paying for Dublin. A little over 10% in Cork.

    Did you ever reply to a thread and...

    ...just delete it because you realised you were talking a load of bollocks. Seems to happen to me all the time. Like just there on the suicide thread. Now, I know a few of you will say that I'm capable of writing a load of bollocks and still hitting the submit button... But this is a...
