    Once again we get a chance to prove that Ireland should have remained free of electricity and evils like the internet.

    Got this today.

    Given Ireland's success at rigging internet votes, we could help our
    tourism trade by fixing it for us to get listed as a new 7th wonder
    of
    the world. This website offers you the opportunity to participate in
    the
    first internet vote to elect the New 7 Wonders of the World The
    candidates already include Petra, Machu Picchu, and the Eiffel
    Tower.
    Sadly, Ireland doesn't get a look in. But visitors to the site can
    send
    in their suggestions. If we can get the BBC to name 'A Nation Once
    Again' as the worlds' greatest song, then surely we can get 'the
    Spike'
    listed as one of the 7 wonders of the world too!

    so go to the following link :
    http://www.new7wonders.com/suggest_nominee.php
    enter your details and place the following text in the suggestion
    box :
    The Millennium Spire, Dublin, Ireland
    and off we go again..............................

    Brilliant! We have to make this work. The 'Nation Once Again' was genius. There's potential in this idea, guys! do up an email and we can send it 'round. I'll be there for the ascent 66! Haven't seen your band yet but I hear your really good.

    But there is a very real possibility that, with the support, the 66 electric could have up to 500 scaling members on that spring day...

    If it's made into a wonder of the world you can pitch the event as.

    "A wonder of the world is no match for the 66e" or something along those lines.

    Oh yes, I think erecting a big, pointy, metallic C0CK in the city while we have people dying of starvation on our streets and the threat of us students having to pay college fees on top of our weekly expenditure on transport, rent, food, etc. is a FANTASTIC way to get rid of all of that spare money Bertie had floating around and flying out of his over-sized, flabby ass...

    But then again the Bertie Bowl was also an extremely worthy cause.

    And now I see he's buying himself a new plane, lest the current Bertie Bolt (shock! horror!) go out of fashion.
