What has 4 letters, sometimes 9 letters, never 5 letters. Think about it before you resort to the computer !

Oil is a key ingredient in the making of plastic.
Any wonder our oceans are becoming polluted. Plastic as a disposable commodity to the general public should be banned outright worldwide. |

And seemingly one of the worst-polluting plastic items is plastic straws - they cause all kinds of damage esp to marine life. Few places in town starting to use alternatives to plastic straws ... So no more drinking your Guinness through a straw lads

The guy who invented the plastic straw probably thought to himself –"Finally! a straw that can be reused over and over and over..."

I saw that all right Pat, kinda surprised by it. There are 5 pubs operating here in Stradbally which is a small place. Mind you, one of them is going great, another is doing well enough, the other three I don't know how they get by day-to-day. Although there are a few big annual events here, the vintage steam rally, EP of course, and some other things centred mainly around Stradbally Hall, so I guess they all get income from those events and even it out across the year or something...

Is the Ploughing Championships held there as well or am I getting places mixed up?

The ploughing was held in Ratheniska, Pat, just on the outskirts of Stradbally, for three years up to and including 2016. Last year it was changed to a place called Screggans, closer to Tullamore, and same this year. Still in the general vicinity but the town wouldn't get quite the same benefits as when it was in Ratheniska...

In other news, my musical boundaries are going to be expanded tomorrow! I am meeting some friends in town for lunch, and they tell me we are first going to some hour-long free opera event, in behind Wood Quay somewhere! My mind is suitably boggled! Build up a nice thirst I suppose ,🎩🍻🎭🎼👸😬

Further to the drop in pub numbers in Ireland it appears Cork is the worst hit county.

The Simpsons first aired in 1989 and the first James Bond film was Dr No.
I have never watched either the Simpsons or any James Bond films.😉😉😉 |

This surprised me.
The last time the guillotine was used in France was as recent as 1977. |
