When people are talking about Fine Fail or Fine Gael they use FFG on the likes of the Journal.....what does FFG actually stand for? fine fail gael?

It’s usually used by work-shy cranks with an IQ of about 85.

FFG stands for "two cheeks of the same arse".

Why the universe and reality itself exists in the first place and is there a "plan" to it?

This is one for spatial memory experts.

I don't know if there's a name for when you have a different spatial memory of something's position than its real position. For instance, for years I might think, expect and visualise a house that I've been to several times as being on, say, a different side of the road to what it is. It only happens with a small number of places, but it's strange that my visual perception of these particular places remains out of sync with their real position.

How do automatic wipers know when to wipe?

Automatic wipers work on reflective light. A small laser shining onto a clear windscreen will not have any light reflected back to a sensor. As rain drops fall onto the windscreen, more light is reflected back to the sensor which will then trigger the wipers.

You don't know. You guess that it is. All poops are different. There are endless comedy birthday cards explaining this. Some barely leave a mark, some damn near need a powerhose.

You are simply guessing when you're done. Hoping for the best that you are not getting dressed with an incompletely wiped bum.

Blue's the colour of the sky

Grand (a bit like the Doppler Effect) but I don't understand how that causes a real-world time difference as my wristwatch and a synchronised wristwatch on earth should read the same when I return.

Basically because it has nothing to do with the Doppler effect. It's to do with time being a direction just like left-right and forward-back are. There's an old analogy for this where we have two people heading from one island to another:

Due to the way one person is facing the other island is 210 furlongs (old image from an American textbook) to the right and 100 furlongs forward. However for the other person it's 164.5 furlongs right and also 164.5 furlongs forward.

So the distance in each direction depends on which way you are facing.

This is what's going on in time dilation, if you replace the forward/back direction with time, i.e. future/past. When somebody speeds up they rotate slightly in spacetime and so the distance in time between them and some future event changes.

Irish has the same for green. Glas and uaine. Glas is the green of grass and plants, organic things. Uaine is for the sea and bronze, stones, etc, things that aren't alive. Apparently two different colours, but we only learn one in school, glas.

It's actually quite odd with Irish as glas means a sort of grey when applied to animals, dubh means swarthy when applied to people, donn includes burnt orange colours not just brown.

Its late, very, very loose explanation.

Faster you go in space, the more your biological clock/'you' slows down. But you dont feel the effects of it, everything is normal to you.

The difference is back on Earth. An hour may pass, but you will have only aged one minute. The faster you go, the greater the change.

To put it another way, there is a direct correlation between gravity and time, once gravity is understood as acceleration.

One of the ways I try to understand TD is this:

the face of the Earth is large clock
I blast away from it in a fast rocket
the quicker the rocket goes
the slower the time would read to me
because the light takes longer to reach my eyes

Grand (a bit like the Doppler Effect) but I don't understand how that causes a real-world time difference as my wristwatch and a synchronised wristwatch on earth should read the same when I return.

But it wouldn't I thought. An atomic clock on the top of mount Everest goes slower than on at sea level ? So your wrist watch and earth clock should be slightly different?
