We always bought Toyota Anensis Turbo Diesels for taxis. One of them had over 400,000 miles on the clock when we got rid of it....and it's still pottering around somewhere. These cars never got cold. They ran 24 hours a day and needed new tyres three or four times a year with many different and abusive drivers.
I was going out with a girl the Christmas before last and her youngest daughter was attending one of these schools in Co. Galway! I think the parents were involved in starting it up with a government grant. It was a bit deeper than educate together in that the churches had no input in the running of the school! They were there purely by invitation.
There are actually a few small non church affiliated schools around nowadays. I believe that catholic priests and C of I ministers visit but I don't know how they get around the non christian teaching.
Scrapped Vicky the 1996 Vauxhall Vectra 18 months ago! I had her for 10 years and I miss her. I still feel like Judas when I get into my 06 Mondeo which I have not named! It has no character!
Cuggly! The arguement wasn't your fault. I understand where you're coming from. But trust me, it's soul destroying to arrange a meet only to find that people don't turn up. So to maximise it, I was suggesting you spaced it from the other one.
Sadly your thread was hijacked by someone who bares a grudge having a dig at me by deliberately misinterpreting my post.
Anyhoos, for any trouble I have caused you, I unequivically apologise!
Thanks for the support. I don't know where she gets the idea that I'm against another Cork meet! My experience on here tells me that if meets are too close together, then people tend to choose one over the other. Other than the expense, most people on here, particularly the women, have family comittments and cannot easily arrange time away.
Some people need to remember that others do not share the luxury of having no ties and of having financial freedom!
Where in God's name she got the idea that I was telling people not to go, is beyond me. But if you want the meet to be a success, I suggest you make it more than a month away from the other meet!
No love lost berween me and Sativa though. She'd cause trouble in an empty house!
That was exactly my point! There are other expenses involved like transport and hotels. Most of us are struggling to get by on reduced incomes and increased fuel costs.
I don't understand this obsession with a non drinking meet! I have been to many meets and never drank. That's a personal choice of mine. What others do is none of my beeswax! There's no need to arrange a non drinking meet!
And I'm hoping Sherkin Island's going to be like an extended Glendalough. A couple of years ago there was an Ackle Island meet and I regret to this day not attending it!
WOW. Only in orange. Did they not do nationalist ones to even up the balance. It could have been part of the Good Friday Agreement that everybody had to give up their space hoppers!
There are a couple of the local taxi drivers who own Volkswagen minibuses. One of these buses has had a missing hub cap for about two years and it's driver can be a wee bit abrasive to say the least.
I've been sorely tempted to put a hubcap on his bus from the other one in the middle of the night so no one sees me and watch world war 3 start!
You're right of course. We can't blame the German people for what happens on the international markets, poor governance and no financial regulation.
However, it's a wee bit unfair to imply that the Irish lived off benefits. And if the EU was putting in money, it's because they were trying to jump start a consummer ecconomy for the benefit of all member states.
As in any country, there are a few wasters but during the tiger, there was close to full employment. People were working sometimes 2 or 3 jobs and long hours to keep up with house prices and the ecconomy so that their children would have a bit more than they grew up with themselves. The Irish are far from lazy!
Chinese would actually be much more useful than German or Irish the way the world is going. But I too believe it's important for all nations to preserve their culture.

Which is why I suppose they made it compulsory in the first place!
Because a day can last 4 months that far North!
