RE: gardening thread

Like you said Imelda it's hard to do your own garden when you are working on other's, so your own gets neglected (at least mine did)!

I've plans for paths, raised beds and different levels ext, for the first time I can give it a real go here, and my nephew needs to do something as he's out of work at the moment and idle (my sister says to work him to exhaustion) lol!

Plans are one thing reality is something else but I'll give it a go, was out clearing it today and it felt good to be back in the garden, in the sun, there's great satisfaction in it isn't there?

RE: gardening thread

Hi Imelda, big plans for my back garden this Spring, have my nephew to help me with the heavy lifting, plenty to do!

RE: favourite poems

The Tyger, by Willian Blake.

Tyger, tyger burning bright
In the forest of the night
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry

True, but how about "The end" by the Doors, rolling on the floor laughing

RE: your last 20 minutes

Listen to your favourite music for the last time, and a few bevvies.

RE: not well again

Sorry to hear that, try to keep positive and keep as busy as you can.

RE: Favourite Beer

In Galway it was known as a pint of Smithwicks with a Guiness head. I'd say the lack of a hangover is the Smithwicks, it doesn't give much of a hangover if you're anyway used to it at all.


The worst beer I've ever had, San Miguel (Spanish) have to drink it to see how bad it is.

RE: whats the MOST important trait in a partner........???

Hi Steve,
I guess it changes as time goes on, the first is probably physical appearance as that's what you see first, then everything else starts to come into play

RE: Poetry... your favourites??

Great poem featured in that film. (Stop all the clocks)
'He was my north my south my east my west,
my something something my Sunday rest,'

and the last line,
'I thought love would last forever, I was wrong'

Great poem by Yeats begins
'When you are old and full of sleep'

RE: the irish language

Unfortunately JLM there have always been in this country many people who just demand that everyone agrees with them when it comes to the Irish language. The position of the language has been maintained by this sort of bullying.

There was a time in this country when if you failed Irish in the Leaving you automatically failed the whole Leaving cert (younger people may have trouble believing this). My brother, in his fifties now, was in this position. It worked out ok for him in the end but many people had careers destroyed by this.

RE: the irish language

Don't think it should be compulsory, that only turns people against it.
