BMW introduces new system.
The UK police have determined that slow driving is as dangerous as fast driving and will soon be bringing in speed camera to make sure you are doing the optimum speeds.

Rolo - delighted you won the prize. Its a pity that its that particular golf course - you know its been the centre of some nasty protests with the locals? I'm afraid that on principle I won't be able to go with you - they've shut off access to what should be an amenity for all, I hate golf and you haven't asked me! Seriously though its a sad story.

Blondie, it's actually for four and it was a Four Person Team thing that we won so all four of us are going, me, my Da and two of my mates.

Cetaceans are whales and dolphins - used to be a great spot to see them from apparently. I've never seen any in Irish waters unfortunately, maybe this year I'll get lucky.

X on one of my previous visits home we went to Achill Island for Paddy's day as my Sis has a place there. Anyhow we all had the top row of little appartments and each balcony led to the next. So Paddy's morning we are all sitting out there and low and behold we spot a whale. We sat there for about an hour just watching him play and splash only to find it was a rock!!!!! Must of been all those pints the night before!!!!!!

I've been browsing around Apple iTunes and I've
found the iMix feature where various users have submitted their named playlists to be an interesting time consuming pastime. I've never made a single purchase off iTunes but its an interesting place to see what folks are listening to. Lots of old classic rock stuff up there too. eg... this biker mix .... (need iTunes and sufficient firewall permissions to see the MusicStore to launch it). http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewIMix?i d=149750024 The iMixes are all searchable. About a year ago it was full of pedestrian boring stuff but now there seems to be a much richer collection of mixes. You only get to hear a 30 sec preview of the tracks but its still fun IMO. --Ian |

Great link Teresa ...
I remember my mother telling me that she always associates the single "Michelle" (a Beatles tune composed by Lennon and covered by the Overlanders who brought it to number 1 for 5 weeks in late Jan 1966. She would have been 5 months pregnant at the time. I was born on May 12 1966 which incidentally was their first wedding anniversary. When I was small I told some visiting nun that I was born on the same day my Mammy and Daddy were married. The nun looked a bit perplexed 
Manfred Mann Pretty Flamingo was No 1 on day I was born. Beatles - Ticket to Ride was No 1 on the week of my parents wedding in 1965. Nancy Sinatra's "These Boots were made for walking" was Number 1 on the day my wife was born which incidentally was the day Nelsons Pillar was launched from its launching pad. She has an alibi - She was busy getting weighed in a maternity ward in Tuam. ------------- Ian - Grover '81-'84 Exiled to Mayo since 2005 |

Amusing site names
Everyone knows that if you are going to operate a business in today's world you need a domain name. It is advisable to look at the domain name selected as other see it and not just as you think it looks. Failure to do this may result in situations such as the following (legitimate) companies who deal in everyday humdrum products and services but clearly didn't give their domain names enough consideration: 1. A site called 'Who Represents' where you can find the name of the agent that represents a celebrity. Their domain name… wait for it… is http://www.whorepresents.com/ - www.whorepresents.com 2. Experts Exchange, a knowledge base where programmers can exchange advice and views at http://www.expertsexchange.com/ - www.expertsexchange.com 3. Looking for a pen? Look no further than Pen Island at http://www.penisland.net/ - www.penisland.net 4. Need a therapist? Try Therapist Finder at http://www.therapistfinder.com/ - www.therapistfinder.com 5.

Music site which I use a lot while online. Not sure if anyone has posted it before. It's really good..like a personal online radio station that you can configure..AND it plays at CD quality if you have broadband.. I've used other similar ones like Musicmatch and suchlike..but this seems to be the best by a mile... and best of all..is totally for free....for now anyway http://www.pandora.com/ - www.pandora.com ------------- Photographers deal in things which are continually vanishing and when they have vanished there is no contrivance on earth which can make them come back again. - (Henri Cartier-Bresson) |

Yeah Hayseed - fair play. I'm listening to it now but it's tricky when setting up stations - I'm having to say I don't like certain songs (that I do like) by a favourite artist cos the suggestions it comes up with are like that song rather than the artist - sorry if this is hangover talk :} Anyway I'm having great fun with it - thanks ------------- Cheers Marie |

I stumbled upon the website of Ross Halfin
(veteran rock photographer from UK). His site has a gallery link with a great portfolio of shots he's taken through the years of various bands and personalities He has a diary/blog of sorts as well. Interesting for anyone who shares interest in music & photography. http://www.rosshalfin.co.uk/home/intro.shtml - Gallery here ------------- Ian - Grover '81-'84 Exiled to Mayo since 2005 |

http://www.talipesireland.com/ Ok this is me being serious for once. Not going to go into a big spill here. But basically this site is to do with Talispe Equinovarus more commonly know as Clubfoot. The site was set up my ex girlfriend. She has lovely little boy who is 2 and a half years old called Jamie. When Jamie was born he was born with a Club foot and has gone through various operations and treatment to help right his foot. His Mam Rhona set up the site for new and old parents with children of similar problems to get in contact and to give each other support and advice and to talk about there experiences. I posted it here cause there maybe someone out there on the site who is going through this and doesn't know anyone to talk about it to. She has a website with her Storyin it and Rhona and Jamie are featured in Womans Magazine this week 3rd October 2006 Peter ------------- "Legal downloads is killing Piracy" http://www.flickr.com/groups/th |

De Burgh 'able to perform miracles'
Singer/songwriter Chris De Burgh claims he is able to heal sick people by touching them with his hands.
The Lady in Red star stunned TV presenter Glloria Hunniford when he revealed his amazing ability on British show Heaven and Earth yesterday. "I have found myself able to cure people with my hands," he said. "I met someone in the West Indies who was not able to walk. I put my hands on him and he was able to get up... I try to play it down." (http://www.breakingnews.ie/2006/10/09/story280214.html) - the guy must've recognised cdb and legged it! - CP |

Pity he couldn't cure himself. Just imagine, if he massaged his own throat, real hard, I mean real, real hard. So hard in fact that he was unable to sing any more. |

They are gonna be back on the airwaves (the radio ones that is) very shortly..they were granted a licence ages ago but it has been the subject of an injunction..disgracefully so.. The best..well..only alternative music station in the country... ------------- Photographers deal in things which are continually vanishing and when they have vanished there is no contrivance on earth which can make them come back again. - (Henri Cartier-Bresson) |

Well I know Geldof was involved in the other station...so maybe the edge is too..don't think any "celebs" are involved in Phantom...just lovers of music like ourselves... Was basically a case of the big money guys not getting their own way...those guys in Phantom have been working their asses off bringing decent music to the Irish airwaves for the last number of years when it was...and still is..virtually impossible to find any station here that doesn't just play the usual chart based music...especially during the day....can't wait to get them back on my car radio again... ------------- Photographers deal in things which are continually vanishing and when they have vanished there is no contrivance on earth which can make them come back again. - (Henri Cartier-Bresson) |

They use to do a great show on Sunday afternoon. They would go through all the old Radio stations and relive some of the history and. They covered the likes of ARD, Radio Dublin, Sunshine 101, Nova, Q102 tthe 80s one, KissFM... Those were the days A friend of a friend use to do delieveries and had to bring stuff over to RTE and the security guard won't let him in to RTE cause he had a Sunshine 101 windvisor. told him he let him in if he takes it down. He didn't it down and turn around to the Depot. RTE rang the depot looking for the equipment and why wasn't it delievered and they told them the story. Even my froends friend wouldn't take the sticker down. Anyway cut a long story short person who wanted the stuff delievered got on to RTE security and told him to let them through and he still said no until his neck was put on the line for the stuff not been delievered... Bloody security men P P ------------- "Legal downloads is killing Piracy" http://www.flickr.com/groups/th |

Yep...I've heard that show a few times...was interesting okay.. Have to say.. I hate stations like 2FM and Q102 and 98FM with their Flatpack DJ's ..they all sound the same and play the same music...tho RTE 1 to their credit do provide some interesting and different shows... ------------- Photographers deal in things which are continually vanishing and when they have vanished there is no contrivance on earth which can make them come back again. - (Henri Cartier-Bresson) |

The Edge was involved in the application/submission of "Storm FM" for the Dublin youth market approx 6 yrs ago. The backers for that included John Reynolds (POD,etc) and Louis Walsh. I think they lost out to SpinFM. According to the latest press releases about Phantom's return to the airwaves "Phantom is backed by U2 manager Paul McGuinness's Principle Management and promoter Denis Desmond's Gaiety Investments, among others." big commercial backers but hopefully boyband free zone ------------- Ian - Grover '81-'84 Exiled to Mayo since 2005 |

Well I think if they try and change the basic philosophy of the station then it wont be long going down the tube Ian... I think the guys that run it on a day to day basis would be strong enough to resist any drastic changes anyway.... The day they start playing Westlife that's the day I turn it off.... ------------- Photographers deal in things which are continually vanishing and when they have vanished there is no contrivance on earth which can make them come back again. - (Henri Cartier-Bresson) |
