There you go fella's, if you are feeling lucky and want to try and butter molly up, don't try on a Tuesday or the 23rd of any month as refusal often offends (and if it's a Tuesday 23rd then forget about it)..
On the other hand you may have better luck on a Saturday or the 16th of any month (unless it's a Tuesday 16th)....
Personally I like Wednesday (and day of the month) basically I know I'm over the hump of the week and the weekend basically starts around late noon Thursday (as a rule)..
A law stating that the Queen is "king of Ireland" is among thousands of obsolete statutes to be repealed by the Irish government. It is one of 5,782 regulations and orders dating from before the Republic of Ireland became independent that are being cleared from the statute books.
It is the largest repeal of outdated laws carried out in any country.
The 1542 proclamation being repealed declares that the English crown shall be "King of Ireland".
Among the other orders listed for removal are:
A proclamation of 1227 to proclaim in Ireland the laws and customs of England
A proclamation of 1346 declaring English money to be current in Ireland
A proclamation of 1561 declaring Ulster king Shane O'Neill to be a traitor
An order from 1590 prohibiting the sale of horses out of the Pale - the area outside greater Dublin - upon pain of death
A declaration of 1654 ordering the removal of Catholic landowners with their wives, children and families from the provinces of Leinster, Munster and Ulster to Connacht
A proclamation of 1665 ordering the quarantine of ships' passengers on account of plague
Reform Minister Brendan Howlin said it would "pave the way for further simplification and modernisation measures"
Biggest solar flare of the year causes radio blackouts on Earth - and a geomagnetic storm is predicted for tomorrow
Space weather experts in Colorado, US issued a warning on a solar flare
It was the biggest eruption of the year and peaked 4.22pm GMT yesterday
It has already caused radio blackouts on Earth and a minor geomagnetic storm could occur tomorrow
This flare was emitted from Active Region 12297 (AR12297) on the sun
The first ‘significant’ solar flare of the year has been spotted by a Nasa observatory. The flare peaked at 12.22pm EDT (4.22pm GMT) yesterday and was watched by the orbiting Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO). This flare was the most powerful of the year so far, and is predicted to cause a geomagnetic storm on Earth tomorrow following blackouts today.
SOLAR STORMS AND EARTH
Solar flares can damage satellites and have an enormous financial cost.
The charged particles can also threaten airlines by disturbing the Earth’s magnetic field.
Very large flares can even create currents within electricity grids and knock out energy supplies.
A positive aspect, from an aesthetic point of view, is that the auroras are enhanced.
Geomagnetic storms are more disruptive now than in the past because of our greater dependence on technical systems that can be affected by electric currents.
Whatta mean the wrong link!!! Witty I don't doubt heads in the North West use 'Thrane' to mean 'wing nut' but it didn't show up on my 'Google' search...
Thrane Name coming from Norway, some people use it as their last name, other use it as their first name. Comes from Klepp on Jæren, usually kind or lazy people.
Wow look, there is a Thrane, he is probably a farmer.
