    the end.

    People surf and scuba dive in Ireland, so I don't think temperature is really a factor.

    Ah.... the Great White Shark, nature's greatest killer. A massive beast with beady evil little eyes and rows of savage serrated teeth. A bite force of 18,000 newtons. Smells food from miles away. Little known of it's breeding habits. Known to scavenge on whale carcasses. Individually responsible for more human deaths than any other creature in history.

    Oh no wait, sorry. I was thinking of Mary Harney.

    Have you genuinely never experienced warm seas off Ireland? If you haven't, I feel sorry for you!

    I've never either. Prefer the warmer seas of more tropical climates which I frequent regularly. So don't feel too sorry.

    Can you imagine being attacked by one of these things? Imagine the absolute horror of it, the jaws lock in and it tugs and pulls on your flesh, the dolls eyes staring, no emotion just a pure killing machine, no mercy. To paraphrase Nirvana, fish have no feelings.:pac:

    He was constantly bickering with Richard Dreyfuss too to aggravate him until after they filmed the comparing scars scene, made their not liking each other until then seem more genuine. The making of that film is brilliant, some great stories on that set.

    I adore Jaws, it's probably my favourite film I've seen it countless times.

    This could tie in nicely with the 'how to deal with scumbags' ideas actually.

    Robert Shaw who was once quoted as saying,"Can you tell me one great actor who doesn't drink?" lamented to Richard Dreyfuss, that he would like to give up alcohol, then he was furious when the younger actor threw Shaw's booze over the side of the boat. Shaw was bored out of his mind on the island despite some local gang members shooting out the windows of his rented house.

    I believe they're not an unheard of sight off our coasts. In fairness, it is the ocean, there's nothing to stop them from swimming up here, and plenty of seals to entice them.

    Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse for Ireland. Apparently there was a Great White spotted off the coast of Kerry a couple of weeks ago with suggestions that due to the increasing tempartures in the drift and the plentiful seal population, more and more sharks are likely to make Ireland a regular destination. Galway will be like the town in Jaws. If you scream shark we've got a full scal panic on our hands. It's July! We can't close the beaches, it's the festival season...

    I for one, welcome our new shark overlords...

    We have them already, for the last number of years, they are called Bankers and Politicians.

    It has to be up there as one of my all time favourite movies.

    Funny thing.....
    Around the same age I,
    Saw the original "Pirahna" and was terrified.
    Saw Jaws and became intrigued by sharks.

    Go figure(could it have been the movie quality:D)

    I think the impact the first Jaws movie had on people will never be seen again. I remember being on holidays and my brothers & sisters tentatively checking under the water with their face masks, to make sure Jaws wasn't there. It was a swimming pool I might add, but such was the effect the movie had on us kids.

    given the amount of raw sewage dumped into the sea off the west coast you'd be mad to go swimming in it

    as for the irish sea that is even worse for pollution, raw sewage, cellafield radioactive waste, and god know what else.

    Anyone who knows anything about sharks knows they cannot survive in Irish waters. Not because of the climate, but Ireland is home to the Great White's only known natural predator in the wild...
    Mary Harney!

    As St Patrick drove the snakes out of Ireland, Mary Harney ate Ireland's native shark population to near extintion...the only thing that saved basking sharks and even Fungi was a bout of acid reflux.
