On this miserable ass day siad i'd start a discussion regarding well anything.
Nothing to do here with I think people in town are like the Ailens in That film Signs alergic to water.

I pulled a three day session this weekend, Simply in bits now. Mrs Ziedths brother is going to the states today so had various nights out for him.

Any news with anyone else?

Is is the WLR report

I'm not of the faith so I'm rather surprised that he looks fairly young by Bishop standards. Of course people who complain are maybe missing the point namely the Bish is simply adhering very faithfully (!) to the doctrine of the religion which is his job. It's up to Catholics in the diocese to make their own decision about practicing aspects of Yoga faith and whether it is compatible with their "handed down" faith.

It enforces the idea that the Catholic Church and schools should be kept separate.
Only a matter of time I hope.

Wow, that letter from the bishop is weird out

Johnboy1951

It is time 'the church' was treatred as it is ...... a huge multinational organisation, raking in millions upon millions every year, and not paying a cent tax.
Break it up and spread its wealth in the poorer countries that it took that wealth from.

I see the bishop is at it again, this time, he has an issue with yoga and mindfulness, you would think he would have better things to be worrying about. If I was into religion, id be telling this lad to shut up, he is doing more harm than good and any time he seems to have a public voice he says stuff that drives people further and further away from taking any notice of him or the rest of em.as it happens, I'm not not into religion and its almost entertaining to hear this fella banging nails into its coffin.

the church better pull its socks up, if it wants to survive in the modern world, its kinna disturbing to hear some of the comments made by some members of it

Yes, there's something about the plastic which kills the edge as it absorbs the fizz agent, also it cannot hold the cold like a steel/aluminum can and that's the key to something like Coke or Tab (as we're talking cans!)

Going slightly off topic but does anyone else think Coke (or indeed any soft drink) tastes better out of can as opposed to a plastic bottle??

Or maybe its just my rose tinted memories of the an early 80's childhood : can of coke, pack of taytos a skinny dairy milk!:)

Harry Palmr

Well in the old days soft drinks can mainly in cans now it's pretty rare - but the cans are much easier to recycle with a very ready market. Glass makes little sense as the nature of the product means they are often drunk "on the go" and collectively we now drink far more of the stuff than say 30-40 years ago.

At 10c a pop it's never going to be viable, the cost of making a bottle is tiny, probably a couple of cents at most.

the plastics market is a mess, it looks like we only recycle a very small percentage of it, we may need to start considering a slow banning of them, and an introduction of alternatives

I know this is fairly random, but I see some town in Monaghan got one of those reverse vending machines. The first in the country apparently.

What I'm wondering is, what is to stop people hoarding their plastic bottles and then bringing in a trolley load of them to the machine to cash in.

Isn't that the whole point though? Encouraging recycling, the more, the better?

Also, when using recycle bins from home, the bottle caps have to be removed and the bottles cleaned out ...... but the bottle caps seemed to be present on the bottles inserted into that machine, and presumable the bottles were not cleaned.

Seems odd .....

Yea me too actually, I was thinking something like half a cent or 1 cent, but wow 10 cents.

1988/89 I think.

Does anyone remember approximately what year the old Arundel Square buildings were demolished to make way for City Square? I don't mean the beginning of building work, as there was a delay in between for archaeology.

The harvest festival takes place this weekend in the city

Always a decent weekend

shefellover93

Well lads,

Corkman moved down to Waterford, looking for a game of ball. Working weekends so unfortunately rules out the 11-a-side (unless there's someone plays their matches midweek evenings?).

Six-a-side would do grand, just looking for something to give me a bit of a run and get to know a few people down here. Sound!

[Deleted User]

Hey Waterford people. I just want to congratulate you on a most excellent county and a most excellent city.

Just back from a few days there- The Viking triangle, the copper coast, the pubs the restaurants the craft shops, the greenway, the old train, the beaches and activities, - my only disappointment is that Waterford Distillery doesn't have a visitors centre and that Henry Downes couldn't give me a bottle of No 9 to take away with me.

It's a fantastic county- you should be proud- I'll be back!

Anyone heard anything about someone moving into the old Chick King/Kebabarama premises? Or Beefy King as it’s still known by some. I see David Flynn shopfitters starting something there this morning.

Not sure rumours a while ago was Hilbillys were moving down there ??

Another discount store or coffee place more than likely

Just reading the roadside art thread on AH, I think we need something striking on Sallypark and maybe a groovy modernist structure on the bypass at Arc Labs exit.
