I am not a vengeful person, and am happy to accept abject apologies, when forwarded on the appropriate form.. the widely recognised 50 euro note.

I live in a quasi rural and village area seperated by 6km from a town. When in the village i will always use the road, when going to the town always the footpath. The road is narrow and there would not be sufficent space for cars to give the 1metre clearance . If i meet foot traffic, an...

.. but they knew the risks!!!

It is very difficult to compete with economies of scale. It happened recently with the pc business and now with the ebikes. When the major retailers start selling the product, it is time for the cottage industries to shut up shop or become bespoke boutiques . I dont think its the fault of...

Why? And why?

And linked to Tommies concerns about the stability of RoI finances, yesterday the principal banker ( the predictive text was suggesting another noun), involved with the bank which spearheaded the crash, was jailed for 6 years. The charge was fraudulent accounting, and involved borrowing...

.. who knew?

.. I do apologise for the error.. it's only in the UK that motorway costs were 25million per km, in Ireland it was 15 million... , But since this road was in fact built in the UK, perhaps you might indulge me... See ...

26 million might have just about paid for a mile or two and anyway, that money became useless some after by the simple expedient of changing the banknote. Just think the 3 billion would cover only 4 months of subvention to NI from the rest of the UK, and that has been going on for decades!! .

Oh dear, I forget that others might not have as broad an education. Not everyone has had the benefit of an irish education To spancil is to put ropes around the legs of horses in order to reduce their freedom. You might have preferred the word hobble, which is equivalent. For what it's worth...
