Ireland suffered its worst ever air disaster today when a two seater Cessna crashed into a Limerick graveyard.

Emergency services have so far recovered 1,829 bodies....and the total is set to rise as digging goes on into the night!

more likely to be either left or right.....paw, footed etc. Or does only affect humans?

from a child into a young adult, which toy broke you heart the most to throw away?

I'm not ashamed to say mine was Teddy ! :o)

That 15 days inside for naming a Teddy was bad enough.....without having to be deported to Liverpool too!!!! :o)

Back in the day there were several programmes on TV which saw animals acting above the call of duty. They being:-

Skippy (Bush Kangeroo)

Champion (The Wonder Horse)

Flipper (Dolphin)

Lassie (Dog)

However, a few of us have been wracking our brains to remember the name of the black seal/sealion of the same era, who like the rest could overt tragedy without speaking human tongue.

Please Help

A few years have passed now since the war on terror began, however does anyone else, like me, feel uneasy about the way in which prisoners still being detained without trial. British law (arguably a template that other countries have adopted) has always been based on "Innocent till proven guilty". The people in Guantanamo Bay have never been afforded this luxury though and it leaves a bad taste in the mouth about how the world is moving foward. If they are guilty of murderous crimes I say throw away the key and switch the lights off on the way out, but I think this should have been proven far quicker in order to quell the suffering of innocent parties and their families.

Your sensible thoughts please?

I believe that the world would be a far safer place without Nuclear weapons. However, as far as Im aware (being a Brit) the American Constitution states that people have the right to bear arms in order to defend themselves. With this in mind if the USA, Russia, UK, France and a few others are allowed to stock a nuclear arsenal, why do America and her allies feel the need to chastise Iran. Don't get me wrong I don't want the Iranians to have the capability either, but surely they have a right to defend themselves like everyone else. If not then America should be hassling the UK and France too.

Your sensible thoughts please?

....have a claim to fame. 10 pts to the most original/believeable :o)

anything exciting today?

I've probably had the dullest, most boring Sunday on record.

the "Live Earth" gig at Wembley?

Do you think it is a bit to soon after the "Diana Concert".....and will they have seating on the pitch or just let people gather in there like the good old days (a la "Live Aid).

Gonna watch it on TV myself. Hope it stays dry for those who go.

"Hot Fuzz" on DVD and throughly enjoyed it. Has anybody else seen it and have an opinion

There has always been a strong healthy rivalry between the English and the French......and at times this can get quite heated/nasty on both sides of the English Channel (notice its ours)

But tell me America....what do you think of the French?

(ps...we don't mind them really)

There has been a lot in the press lately about prison overcrowding, and the lack of new prisons going up due to local demonstrations in planned areas. However, there are plently of islands in the North of Scotland, that were once RAF airfields but have been closed now for many years (i.e Benbecula and Machrahanish. Do you not think these could be used to build super prisons and solve the problem?

Liverpool airport was closed for eight hours today due to a "suspicious vehicle".

A police spokesman said it drew attention, due to being taxed, insured and still having its radio fitted.

Its a horrible wet Monday morning in the office, so to brighten things up we put on Classic Gold radio through the internet. "Money Money Money" came on by Abba....which sparked great debate through the male members in the office.

Guys....Am I the only one who saw past the blonde locks and flat nose to think the brunette was more attractive. Or should I go to Specsavers :o)

Re-incarnation was never something that I subscribed to. Mainly because the people that do always seem to be someone famous, and also because I had never felt in myself that I had.

However, a few years back whilst on my way to Leuchars in Scotland (prior to this I had always lived in England) I found myself driving alongside Bannockburn the site of the famous battle. Now you are probably thinking I'm setting things up to say I was a knight in shining armour. However, this wasn't the case.....infact I started having strong memories of riding across it on a horse, alone, at a later time in history. As I say I had never been there before in my life.

Does anyone have a similar story???

It's Sunday evening. The wind is howling outside, and the rain has been bucketing down for nearly 24 hours. The forecast doesn't look good and I was thinking of pulling a sickie (something I never done in the past).

As The Clash once said......Should I Stay Or Should I Go?

If "One" is lonely, "Two" is company, and "Three" is a crowd

....what is "Four" and "Five"?

I'm just about to order a Pizza..........

Which toppings???

PS....Wanna slice?

Lets face it, 9 out of10 of us hate going to the dentist. However, if you could make it more enjoyable/interesting by picking any famous person alive or dead to be the dentist........who would it be, and why?
