    I was just thinking, with all this snow about the place and the library closed for several days last week, is there any chance that Paul et al. in the SU could go buy some shovels with our money and do something genuinely useful like move some snow?

    Pickaxes and mini diggers are what's needed by now unfortunately... friend of mine from Canada couldn't believe snow in Dublin on paths etc was just being let sit there, it needs to be cleared immediately before it gets compressed into packed ice.

    Would it really make sense to buy equipment to lift snow that we might not see the likes of again in 20 or 30 years? If people made an effort with shovels, salt etc, it would be fine.

    Nope! But I'm sure they could rent/hire a mini digger if it was really needed.


    If anyone from UCD's reading, I'll shovel it all up in exchange for a pass in all my xmas exams :cool:

    That is probably do-able. My comment was more mis-directed annoyance at people complaining about various councils not having the same equipment that countries covered in snow have!

    How about just getting some salt for the path from the library to the N11. Ridiculous how much ice there is there
