Yeah I know about the discussion over there – have seen it.

I’m just back from my holidays though so am trying to keep the rage to within reasonable limits.

[...] Pity. I’d have gone again tonight if I could. They were better than the Pixies. [...]

Comment on the memory of fingers by Niall

You have just reminded me of Martin Walton, the founder of Waltons, and the times that I spent visiting his shop with my parents when I was a child. Martin and my father grew up together.

My father loved classical music. His mother could play anything on the piano. She also sang (contralto) with the Moody-Manners Opera Company – a very long time ago. My mother also loved to play the piano and I remember how unhappy she was when she could no longer play owing to arthritis in her fingers.

Comment on George Lee exits politics. by Thomas Clarke

With the departure of George Lee, I believe we are witnessing the complete demise of the now exposed Enda Kenny and the out of touch Fine Gael with the realities of the current economic situation!
Enda Kenny, having scored a resounding national coupé by getting the country’s top economic commentator to come on side, has now with the departure of Grorge Lee completely destroyed any hope of becoming Taoiseach
There is no use in telling the public that one has to under-go training in period when one enters the Dail
Remember the first people that entered the Dail did not have to undergo an apprenticeship.
This is just hor****
All this now does, is tell the general public that Fine Gael is just as mush a hostage to its accumulated
Ancient practices that at sometime in the long distant past might have been useful.
This episode exposes again my contention that the practices in the Dail that all political parties conform to is way outdated and has no place in modern Ireland
Again I state that I believe that the system is corrupt and dysfunctional
This lame attempt to now clam that all new TD’s included George Lee must first have a type of apprenticeship before they can contribute is just farcical
I would not vote for somebody that I thought was just going to be an apprentice
This shows the public that true nature of Fine Gael, it confirms that even in opposition they seem to have a lot of Prema – Donnas
They are trying to make the public conform to their way of doing business
We won’t have it, and in the next polls you will see how pissed off we really are!
I call on George Lee now to form his own political party and I can promise him at least 30 of my friends to join him immediately
If Fine Gail wants to help form the next government they will have to shift Enda Kenny
His judgement is now on the Floor!

I would take a look at the Gear4 players. They are a lot less cute, generally have a reputation and are a lot cheaper than some of that overpriced Bose stuff. I have a nice one for my iPod I got for about €50 a few years ago. The only problem with is that since Apple changed the connectors it won’t charge my iPod anymore. But that won’t be a problem with a new model.
