    Fúck the lot of yiz with your useless suggestions. Knew it was a waste of time, just couldn't help myself though, determined to find out the name of the track.

    Came across this site today - http://www.abandonedireland.com - interesting reading / pictures

    Here's the Hellfire Club
    I was always fascinated with that place as a kid. You could see it from our street (I think) it was only a dot on top of the mountains. And going up there the odd time was such adventure, and a trek and a half.

    I find this bit funny....
    Another story mentions a priest, who stumbled across the club's fun'n'frolics late at night, and discovered that the centre of attention was a huge black cat. 'Breaking free from his captors the cleric grabbed the cat and uttered an exorcism which tore the beast apart. A demon shot up from its corpse. Hurtling through the roof it brought down the ceiling and scattered the assembly.'

    Anybody that has ever been up to it knows that you don't just "stumbled across" it. It takes a bit of effort to get up to it.

    I used to read The Guardian when I was a student a few years ago. Not because of it being slighty leftist or anything, but because it was so cheap. It used to be something like 50c for a huge paper and a couple of supplements......it was great value.

    yeah, the amount of readable supplements that come with it was incredible for the student price we used to get it for.
    In contrast, The Irish Times was a good bit dearer and was only bought for the feckin crossword.

    Yeah, I used to buy the Times for the Crossword. There was always the attempt at the Crosaire puzzle (I think I got four clues right once) and then on to the Simplex.

    Do you know that Crosaire used to get his wife to fill in the blank crossword and then he'd make up the clues. Try filling in a blank crossword, it's harder than you think!

    I read something about him believing that proper grammar is a government conspiracy.
    I laughed my ass off but have since learnt that it's one of the fundamental beliefs of the patriot conspiracy or whatever it is called.

    Now I'm starting to worry.

    oh how those attempts used to humble me. I did the simplex every day for about 6 months and never managed to get more than 2 dodgy crosaire answers.
    There's apparently a specific technique for doing them.

    That's it. I could never get into the train of thought needed to figure out the clues. Baffling and infuriating in equal measure

    I knew a girl who could do them no problem in college. She had learnt from her Dad and tried to teach us. It's a very very specific thought pattern though so I could never get it.

    That whole gunman thing. Haven't had much time to read up on it. Is it basically....Palin posted a map of America with gun crosshairs over certain areas where opposition politicians were located. And then nutjob goes and tries to kill one of them?

    Erm yeah. We'll go with that.

    But the more accurate story is that the guy was a typical conspiracy nut obviously fond of radical political nonsense and had quite a right wing bent in his bizarre beliefs.

    Not worth €20 as a serious discussion, but perhaps for the comedy

    I've only recently started watching it, some of it is pure genius. I downloaded 14 series of it a few months ago but haven't started to watch any of it yet - might go watch some later on actually.

    I was a relative late comer to it, probably about 4 or 5 years ago maybe - there are so many absolutely brilliant episodes, definitely one of my favourite comedies. Bought several of the DVD series over the last while, when they have them on offer in HMV etc I tend to grab one... The Walmart episode is definitely among the best, or the People from the Future.

    I'll have to go google those and see what series they're on. My brother is forever telling me to watch certain episodes but I've the memory of a goldfish so I always totally forget.

    Think I'm gonna watch the RTE show starting in a few minutes. It's about people emigrating. I reckon I'll be heading off myself soon enough. I'm hoping to finish my studies in June but the chances of getting work in Dublin are seriously slim :(

    On a completely different subject and seeing as I've broken the seal somewhat on talking about relatively 'serious' subject on de internet - last time I did that was some years ago when it involved A/S/L? on random chat rooms... I never did get that 21/F/USA to meet me...

    Anyway... I've been pondering this over the last few days having observed people around me, mainly in the work environment or various people I know. Are people inherently lazy? Is the human default to do little unless challenged otherwise? Its not that I've reached this conclusion as such, more that I'm debating it at present and yet to reach a full and final conclusion... maybe I should start a poll on After Hours :pac:

    It's all about motivation. Here is a really interesting video about it.
