Magnum, have you seen the Sam Roberts thread yet?

I'm going to hit up the Hill of Tara where the Irish High Kings used to have gatherings. It's just north of Dublin. Also going to Killarny National park.

...but this is certainly a question that I am often asked.

perhaps this is a clue as to why you had to move back to the flatlands?!? either that or Tonin and zero keep you busy answering PMs...

[color:#CCCCCC]nubile!

Oh Davey Boy you almost slipped that by.

Why has nobody said 'nubile' in this thread?

Hey but I thought 'the devil's no gentleman' argument' was pretty compelling.

lol almost had me convinced.

Thanks guys/girls. We will definetly check out the west coast as we fly out of Shannon on the way back.

Whoa Nellie.

B.C. school yoga classes slammed

A school program to fight childhood obesity that includes yoga is drawing complaints from some Christian parents in the Quesnel area in B.C.'s Cariboo region.

They say yoga is a religion, and shouldn't be taught in public schools.

Chelsea Brears, who has two children in the school system, said her son was asked to do different poses and "to put his hands together."

Brears, a Christian, said she doesn't want her children exposed to another religion during class time.

"It's not fair to take prayer out, and yet they're allowing yoga, which is religion, in our schools."

Local rancher Audrey Cummings doesn't believe Christian children should be doing yoga at all.

"There's God and there's the devil, and the devil's not a gentleman. If you give him any kind of an opening, he will take that."

The two women have complained to the education minister and the Quesnel school board.

But school board chair Caroline Neilsen said the yoga is being taught as a stretching exercise, not as a spiritual practice.

Neilsen also noted that children who don't want to practise yoga can do different exercises or leave the classroom.

There is a great place called Fuckyerself.... go there.

Shit that place is in every country.

Oh ya we are staying in Ashford Castle for a night as well Ashford Castle

So I'm going to Ireland in May and was wondering if there are any DO NOT MISS things that people here have experienced (Besides the Guiness Brewery).

We are renting a car so will have access to the entire country. Any cool places/stories appreciated.

Briere wears #48 for Buffalo

LOL ... what a laugher. I'm up in Parry Sound right now and my Dad doesn't have LeafsTV.

Later . . .

Kanada Kev =8)

Kev if you are still in town today head on over to Don Cherry's to watch the Canada game. I'll be the guy drinking :wink:

After 30 years of being a Leaf Fan I think I'll trade my jersey in. Fuck it's exciting watching Pittsburgh these days. Crosby is so fun to watch. He makes hockey exciting again.

Who am I kidding I'll still watch the Leafs, but I'll be watching the Penguins as well.

Im on a rant and rave tonight comrads. Im in need of a good bender i think.

When we warm ourselves up you'll probably be able to buy your snow for Winterland from them too.

By the way where abouts in Winterland are you?

Christmas had lost much of it's luster for me until I had a child. Now it's fun seeing how excited a 4 year old kid gets who believes in Santa. I miss those days. I remember when I was a kid I would be sick with excitement on Christmas eve.

I'm sorry to hear this Mark. Be well.

[The worst that could happen is that I could spill coffee all over this $3,000 suit. Come on!...... Yeah, the guy wearing the $4,000 suit is holding the elevator for the guy who doesn't make that in four months. Come on!....... Yeah, like I'm going to take a whiz through this $5,000 suit. Come on!

I love that episode.

lol

I miss Magnum.

I wish I had one that could have been redirecting sunlight into my face during these last three months. Does anyone even remember what the sun looks like?

(It was beautiful out yesterday I guess. Perfect for chopping a tree down. Done worry SSJ; I'm going to cover it in a blanket when you're here.)

Hahaha

Good for them.

A village in the shadow of the Italian Alps that sees no sun for three months of the year is installing a giant mirror on a mountainside to reflect sunshine into the town square.

A tailor-made sheet of steel will be positioned this week on a nearby peak at a height of 1,100 metres to direct sunlight down to the tiny hamlet of Viganella, in the narrow Antrona valley, north of Turin.

Viganella, with a population of only 197, suffers from a complete lack of direct sun from Nov. 11 to Feb. 2.

Mayor Pierfranco Midali presented the project for approval in January of this year to help lift his community out of darkness during those 83 days a year.

Computer controlled monitors will enable the eight-by-six-metre sheet of metal to follow the path of the sun and reflect its rays down to a 250-square-metre area in the village square for at least six hours a day.

The project cost of $151,000 has been covered by the local governments and a private bank.

Alright I can go from Sudbury to Liberia. WhooHoo

What would they have to say about, say, Victoria's Secret ads on the side of the road (and there are in fact plenty like that around)?

I most defintely would drive off the road or up the arse of the person in front of me if we had these up here.
