I believe these people showed great character and personal courage to break with tradition,in bread national resentment and the law and leave their own army and country to stand side by side with former enemies for the greater good. There should be no pardon. All charges should be dropped and all records expunged.
I wonder how many of us great moralists on here would share their courage to stand up for their beliefs and pay such a high price. You should be proud of them. It's a pity we don't have such men in the Dail.
A teenage boy had just passed his driving test and inquired
of his father as to when they could discuss his use of the car.
His father said he'd make a deal with his son:
'You bring your grades up from a C to a B average, study your Bible a little, and get your hair cut.Then we'll talk about the car.'
The boy thought about that for a moment, decided he'd settle for the offer, and they agreed on it.
After about six weeks his father said, 'Son, you've brought your grades up and I've observed that you have been studying your Bible, but I'm disappointed you haven't had your hair cut.
The boy said, 'You know, Dad, I've been thinking about that, and I've noticed in my studies of the Bible that Samson had long hair, John the Baptist had long hair, Moses had long hair...and there's even strong evidence that Jesus had long hair.'
You're going to love the Dad's reply:

Did you also notice they all walked everywhere they went?[/quote]
I beg to differ. It states clearly in the bible that Moses came down the mountain in his Triumph! An open topped TR6 I suspect with his hair blowing in the wind.
People who live alone tend to talk to themselves. I certainly do. I also talk to my computer, my car and occasionally my teapot!. Sometimes I hug trees but it's purely platonic with no tongues.
I do too but having said that, there is absolutely no guarantee that the pic is genuine. Three times in a row I was conned into going out with Jenifer Lopez when I actually believed I was meeting Agnes Murphy and now she just won't stop phoning me.
I just think it's a business like any other. For centuries gold and silver dealers have been buying at one price and selling at another. I think we're just aware of it just now because we've come out of a time of affluence, where we bought a lot of stuff we didn't need, into a time of recession where we're having to sell it off. I think Cash For Gold shops remind us all of the mess we're in and that's what we find offensive. At the end of the day, gold is simply a lump of useless metal. We are the ones who over value it. And I'll bet most of us didn't claim we were buying it as an investment in the first place.
Cash For Gold I'm afraid puts a cold hard monetary value on sentiment and it's a lot lower than a lot of us would like.
He never sang that and he died in absolute horror and misery...This boy is cracking up! Junkies do NOT have a good death and leave grief in their wake that lives on long after they die. Ask his widow Caroline, daughter of the alcoholic tv presenter, Leslie Crowther, and the young children he left behind just what kind of life he gave them.
Seem to cause a lot of confusions these bicycles. My neighbour told me she had a wasps bike in the attic obviously thinking I was a bit dolly dimple. But I showed he just how intelligent I was by categorically stating that a wasp cannot possibly ride a bike. I could tell by the look on her face she was somewhat taken aback by my knowledge, no doubt mentally comparing me to David Attenborough.
These people had nothing before the disaster struck. We're not exactly starving to death here and what's 11 million....4 banker's bonuses. Half a ghost estate? 20 ministers salaries including pensions. I don't grudge these people a single cent.
Carrying my school bag in front of me in embarrassment as I seemed as a young teenager to have a permanent H.O. I blame Jackie Morrison and her short skirt!
I understand this thread perfectly. I invited a well known member to stay over during a Clare meet and she stole sausage bacon and eggs in the morning!
Mine has a plastic screwed cap on the thermostat attached to the boiler. It has a small notch on top to allow you to loosen it with a coin. Underneath that is a small reset button. This usually works with mine but it may be the same button someone mentioned earlier.

Nonsense. We all know that lynx is a make of deoderant and aftershave you can buy in the €2 shop.
