    No, I'm not. I'm never wrong. :p More people, both in total first preferences and in percentage first preferences, voted for Bertie's shower. That's what I said. I never mentioned the government.

    Now, at the risk of getting a ban, I better get back on topic: I was out on my bike tonight, and me bleedin' head is froze off me. I was glad I was wearing shades, coz it kept that balmy late May evening air out of my eyes. Summer is right. :(

    I thought that the Global warming effect would push the "North Atlantic Drift" even further north, thus melting the ice cap up there. And thus making Ireland as cold as Russia.

    Anyways I dont give a f*ck about Green issues. I wont be able to make any difference about climate change, and even if I stopped doing everything pollution related (i.e. driving a car) there would still be millions of people who would give a damn, so why should I have to put myself through hardship while others wouldn't do anything.

    So don't expect to break out the suncream

    Fcuk, fcuk, fcuk - I thought that our senseless destruction of our Planets natural balance and Mankinds ignorant plunder, rape and desecration of our enviornment was going to pay off big time with decent Irish summers in a few years time.......

    Global warming will warm and dry out Ireland a bit? A little less rain? And some complain? Hey! Let's all rush out and buy petrol-guzzling SUVs and do our part!

    Sunrise? What? It's dark here. Oh... perhaps cause it's a mere 8 time zones west of ye? But it's warm here, even at night. If you can believe the Beach Boys when they sung their songs long ago... "It never rains in sunny California..." (unlike Ireland!), so it was warm back then, too. What? The 1960s-70s?

    Been here about 1 1/2 years and I've noticed that people in OC are very concerned about the environment and Global Warming. At the pumps the other day I overheard one SUV owner talking to another SUV owner as they filled up their huge petrol tanks about this very issue...
