It's getting off topic,but as someone involved with the engineering in community,there is some truth in planned obsolescence. The car industry designs and builds cars for the first owner. Not the second or third . They will build parts with sufficient longitivity to last beyond the warranty...

I don't think it is the historian who is confused.

The Irish daily mail ,despite its name is not an Irish paper. And unnamed source is an unnamed source and putting a label on an unnamed source is so easy, even you could do it. .. Mind you I could see us losing 5% of growth ,since the UK has already been dropping down the growth table with its...

I actually can understand that in times of dire emergency,that a Government must have the right ...and the duty , to limit information flow. Which is why there are things like official secrets acts . But as NDA is a commercial contract, not a criminal offence, and anyone braking one is only...

You know Tommie, Jim McAllister does raise a valid point... "However, it seems the EU’s ideology is more important to it than the Republic’s economy. "... That is a well constructed sentence and contains truth. I might have used the word fundamental principles rather than ideology, but let's...

Until the day when F&M infected beef from the Argentine,or sub standard chickens cross into the EU.

I think you are being a bit unfair with the engineering of incandescents and by association with the probable lifetimes of LEDs. The incandescent is a design balance between light output and lifetime. A dull red orange bulb with thick filiment,as would have been used in a 1950s cargo...

... Perhaps soft in the head.

Could be.. on a Sunday the faces would have been clean . But bikes like that and those clothes would have been around in the 1950 s also. I would have remembered similar shop fronts. A 20 or 30 year old bike would have been commonplace in the 1950s . Indeed I still have what are now two 40...

Ha no!!!. They are fine. Her point was men lounging around, holding up the walls with their backs while smoking.

"Corner boys " is what my mother would have referred to them as .

You got it in one.... Well done you too!

You know ,OJ, this is possibly the first and likely the most rational posting you have made. ..well done you !.

Talk about revisionism. The first part is true enough. There were friendly talks at the initial stages. But make no mistake, the Irish Government were always adamant about the undesirable nature of any border . Any exploratory talks would have had that as a goal.Enda would have been a little...

Let us deal with facts and perhaps less of your fantasies about my equipment. Be assured I share no fantasies about yours. I never ever said that the planes would not fly. What I did say was that landing rights in Europe for British registered airlines would be refused UNLESS legislation was...

"Bigger picture guy".. yep that could sum it up. Unfortunately to make progress you have to sweat the details.

Well I suppose I am as past learning as you are in understanding.

And when the EU does NOT come crawling?. What is your plan B? The arrogance masked here is breathtaking,and a little bit of me is hoping you collectively will enjoy the hubris. I know ! It is uncharitable of me, but I am still only human. You do appreciate that the 39 billion ,only covers the...

No .. those be weasel words. The Deal is a managed departure. For something to be managed, there needs to be control and a manager and in this case agreements... Sorry Crash out means Crashing out.

I have to agree with flecc on this one. . The UK held a referendum, the only term in it was a reduction in EU engagement. It was narrowly accepted. The narrowness indicated the ambivalence. The HoC choose to interpret this in some fashion and their prime minister then negotiated the best...
