Thanks, have heard various "versions" of this but until now not the original. So what was Bessie's reply ?

There are such polite people in CS, but I suspect there is much more than could be said about the most creative toys ever made or games ever played (that will not get posted here) ..........

I'd go for the same. If all I/ she wants is excercise - there are Gyms for that.

Yes, been there - done that. Hadnt seen each other for 20+ years, were now both separated. The distances involved and the combined children involved made it unrealistic to think of a reunion. But embers were re-ignited, unknowns got known, questions got answered. Was worth it, go for it, nothing to lose (except maybe illusions which need to be lost anyway).



After 20 years....: click here to read the entire thread »

I would have said especially before the age of 30 (but then I would prefer a 1997 Chateaux Margaux to a 2007 Nouveau Beaujolais any day)!

If you thought Newgrange was interesting, what about the Irish Dolmans !.

Dolmans, properly called Portal Tombs, mark burial places in a very distinctive way, with large capstones elevated at an angle and held up by two of three vertical standing stones. There are about 100 Dolmans in Ireland.

What makes Dolamsn fascinating is that long before mechanised transport a way was found to drag/ push a capstone which can weigh up to 120 tonnes up onto the two supporting stones. No JCB Digger can do that today !.

Actually, I do know how they did it - but thats an Irish secret..........

The nearest one to me is an hour away, Poulnabrone - an Irish wording meaning "hole of the sorrows" and reflecting their use as burial places. It has been carbon dated to between 3200BC and 3800BC.

Following on from the fascinating Thread about Chocolate Hills, what do ye make of Newgrange in Ireland ?



Every Winter Solstice (December 22nd), the light of the rising sun enters a roofbox at Newgrange, Ireland and penetrates a 19metre/ 62ft long inner passage for about 15 minutes.

Newgrange (built in 3200BC - 600 years before the Giza Pyramids in Egypt !) is clear evidence that people a very, very long time ago could accurately track the path of the sun and predict the date of the winter solstice. Construction would have taken a work force of 300 at least 20 years to complete !.



BTW it is not made of Chocolate (although we do have a Cadburys factor in nearby Dublin.)


Newgrange, Ireland: click here to read the entire thread »

Did I tell you that my brother works for Cadbury's in Dublin ?.

I suppose ye will all want a tour of the factory, followed by a visit to the Factory Shop where you can take away with you the slightly-imperfect-but-very-edible products ???

Now, how do I include pictures when making a Thread ?

Only the Irish can really tell jokes about themselves !.

Job interview for a station master in Ireland:

Station Master: "Well Mick, I've just a few last questions for you. If a track was broken and a train was approaching, what would you do ?"

Mick: "I'd pull that lever, Sir, and that would make a red signal to stop the train."

Station Master: "But, Mick, what if the lever broke in your hand, what would you do then ?"

Mick: "I'd run over to the tower and radio the train driver, Sir, I would"

Station Master: "But what if the radio was broken, what would you do then ?"

Mick: "I'd ring my Uncle who lives over the road, Sir, I would".

Station Master: "Why ring your Uncle?"

Mick: "Cause he's never seen a train crash !"
