It's a "her" and you'll do nothing of the sort.



>>> That's her on the right >>> (not the mouse)

What a wonderful photo opportunity, eh?

Now, now guys, best behaviour please

Seriously, though, in a very short time, we have achieved an incredibly good profile as a responsible organisation going about its business in a very professional manner.

The best way to maintain this is by asking questions that require clear answers, rather than emotive ones.

Do you remember an episode of the Simpsons when Bart & Lisa went to DUFF Gardens and starting kicking the living daylights out of the various life sized beer bottles ??

I could see something similar happening if they showed up w/ the mouse

BTW ADAM
I heard thro' the grapevine it was actually a game of PAPER, ROCK, SCISSORS between Pat Galvin and Soula for the privelege to sit on the Panel

I know the mouse is a bit ridiculous, and its getting a hammering but the idea behind it deserves some credit I feel.

Personally I think that its the governments job to do something to raise Internet usage and awareness levels with such campaigns, especially with all their e-government projects in the pipeline. It will of course take a lot more than a mouse crossed with a kangaroo!!!

that's ok- looking at your posts, she probably wouldn't want to be within 100 yards of you

I agree w/ you there David, but the fact they're using a mouse as an attempt to literally wave a magic wand and solve the problem is a bit much to take. I mean how long did that take to think up in the marketing dept.?? Its not like its a fresh idea- Walt Disney unleashed Mickey Mouse onto the world in c. 1928!!

If €ircom really wanted to re-invent the perception of the internet in Ireland they really would have gone out on a limb & got a major celebrity. I remember ft.com praising britains Inland Revenue for the masterstoke of Getting Mrs. Doyle from Father Ted on board to nag the public into paying their taxes.

I think the attitude ppl on this board have shown is only representative of modern soceity & our sceptcism towards attempts to get us to part w/ our cash thro' the use of gimmicks such as goofy mice.
Even RTE know how to run ad campaigns these days.

All i can say to €ircom is...
Get the finger out

I'm afraid not hudson, I'll have to remain faceless for a while more. I just can't get away this week, so the best I can do is send a few quid to the lads and lasses and hope that'll help recover losses. I think I might try and organise a Munster Meeting[tm] though, if anyone's is interested. Anyone in Munster be interested in meeting up for an informal chat? (Might as well take this even further off-topic, it's going nowhere... )

I guess that means you wont be kicking the crap out of me, damn and I reserved a room matter. awh well

LegacyUser

Sorry to hear you can't make it - I doubt I'll be at the Munster meeting somehow...

Don't worry, I'll kick the crap out of you instead.

Errah, I'll get up there eventually, it's just not good for me at the moment, we're trying to shove about three projects out the door (I always have an excuse, eh Martin?). I hope you all will represent me well at the seminar.

Isn't it ironic that I can't go to the seminar because my workload is overstressed, which is a direct result of the telecommunications problems you'll be discussing at the seminar? I have to stop now, my head hurts. Do me proud folks.

[I would only have kicked the crap out of you if you annoyed me Gladiator. Well, I suppose that's a given, so I'll catch ya next time, huh?]
