A screen grab from the Irish TD (Seán Sherlock) who is about to pass a law that can cause any website that has copyrighted content, or even a link to copyrighted info, to be shut down. However using the new law his own site should be shut down for violating copyright. These guy have no idea what they are doing.
If you are in Ireland email your local TD or even if you are not you can sign the online petition
……… The only place where……..
• If you die from alcohol poisoning, you’re considered a lightweight,
• ‘Fuck off’ means ‘Are you serious?’ … …
• The person that you insult most is probably your best friend,
• Saying ‘I will yea’ means that you definitely won’t,
• “Fuck it, its grand’ means that you couldn’t be bothered finish it properly,
• ‘He’s fond of a drink’ means he suffers from severe life-threatening alcoholism,
• Saying you’re going for a drink means you might not be seen again for 3 days,
• Crisps are called ‘Taytos’ and fizzy drinks are called ‘minerals’,
• ‘For the craic’ is the best reason for doing anything,
• The best cure for a hangover is more drink,
• Nobody can go a day without saying ‘Jaysus’,
• ‘Meeting’ has a double meaning,
• Tea is the solution to every problem,
• And water is the solution to every GAA injury,
• “I got stuck behind a tractor’ is a perfectly valid reason for being late,
• We eat Tayto sambos for lunch, and ham sandwiches on the way to Croke Park,
• You can insert the name of a gardening tool into any sentence and it still makes sense, e.g. ‘I had a rake of drink last night’ or “I’ll be out in a minute, I’m just shoveling down the dinner’,
• GAA is considered religion,
• Its perfectly acceptable to call your mother ‘mammy’ even though you are a fully grown adult,
• Saying ‘Now we’re sucking diesel’ means that you are happy with the outcome of the situation,
• Drinking ‘tae’ is everyone’s favourite past time,
• You’re scared of the wooden spoon,
• The word ‘like’ goes in every sentence,
• You can say “Any craic?’ to a garda and you won’t get arrested,
• ‘The dogs’ bollocks’ means something brilliant
I made a short video with a few random images and clips from our first month in Canada. I actually have 25 minutes worth of stuff so I’m going to break it into a few videos, of which this is the first. We spent most of the month just finding our way around so the clips are a bit random as there was no big event or anything like that. Still enjoy the sights of Canada with a few Irish related clips thrown in for good measure.
I let off some small fireworks over the weekend. Fireworks are illegal in Ireland so we went up a mountain where we wouldn’t be seen. There was quite an echo through the Glens though.
Myself and Lorri will be in Canada soon. I made this video, during an admittedly quiet weekend, to prepare my Canadian friends for the epicness of our arrival. :-) Best with sound
