    This treaty isn't as important as a general election or an abortion/divorce referendum so i'm not bothered.

    But if you dont vote...abortion/divorce and hard drugs will be legalised... and we'll go to war with the russians...ALL BECAUSE OF YOU!!!!!:p

    Not travelling from Dublin to Cork. Hopefully abortion will be legalised so I can have some tasty sandwiches soon.

    because if it was done at the weekend, it may produce a totally diferent outcome, less people available midweek

    :rolleyes:

    above comment is totally not based on any fact, and purely a personal opinion

    any how, back to how far you travelling

    ;)

    still should have put in a 'not voting' opition

    can't make it, but if they moved into the 21st century and provided online voting then I could.

    To vote, I'll be doing about a 110 mile round trip using public transport. It would be interesting to see how many others are gonna bother doing a trip like this, or longer?

    I haven't heard anything about this Lisburn Treaty.

    I searched all over http://www.lisburncity.gov.uk/ and still nothing. Anyone got any info?

    Ahhh now don't be slagging the proclaimers. They're good (if only for that one song) even if only to laugh at.

    Please don't kill me.
