Good god, if I there was ever a reason to ban widespread metal detection, that thread provides it.

Shower of muppets salivating over pulling up "gold and silver" and doing who knows how much damage to Ireland's historical record and national treasures in the process of enriching themselves. Do not tell me these characters are going to drop whatever they find off at the nearest museum. Look forward to thousands of euros in fines and a few years in prison, lads.

Flamethrowers. Think of the hours of good clean fun you could have with one. It's political correctness gone mad.

Try reading the whole thread next time.
St John's Wort is herbal not homeopathic.

St John's Wort is not banned. It is a prescription only medicine and so can be prescribed for a person with mild depression. Another one of the reasons it was changed to prescription only is that depression can be a serious medical condition and so should be managed under medical supervision, not self-diagnosed and self-treated.

Also to add, I read it can interfere with the effectiveness of the contraceptive pill. So prob for the best that it isn't too easily available, at least your doc will warn you about that as with antibiotics etc

I think they get around that with local authority bye-laws or something.

Or maybe it's by making them private clubs. One or the other.

I think you're right about the private club thing. I know someone who was/is opening one in Waterford and they can serve alcohol but can't charge for it. they also wouldn't be subject to the same licensing laws as pubs/clubs.

irish1967 · 18-11-2010 12:54AM

It's illegal to serve alcohol to a person in a pub who is drunk !! Is that not like banning fat people from being served in a restaurant ??

(Also an offence to buy alcohol from a person who is drunk in a licensed premises)

Also an offence to serve someone half a pint of draught beer etc in a pint glass.

1. It's St. John's Wort.
2. It's a herbal medicine.
3. It was banned for over the counter sale as it sometimes blocks the effect of other drugs when taken together. It is still given to people by herbalists.

How long do you think it will be before funding is available for a govt. dept. to go out and search for these treasures for the good of the nation? It hasn't happened till now and it won't happen for decades yet. So are you saying they are better left in the ground until then?
Remember the saxon hoarde found in England by a metal detector a few years ago - most of the artefacts were already mangled by tractors and ploughs.

It's not banned, it's prescription only.

Why? Because it interferes with other medication you might take. It can for example render the contraceptive pill quite useless, there have been several cases of women taking it thinking "it's only natural, what harm can it do?" and ending up involuntarily pregnant.

Also, the homeopathic version of it is most certainly freely available, but you can just as well simply drink some tab water.

To pass a homeopathic exam do you take what you know and dilute it by a factor of several hundreds?

Can't buy drink after 10pm - Thank you for that as we know little punks who want to drink will just go home and go bed so they can get an early rise for school thus they can bag those points for Trinity College!

I'm fairly sure that archaeological examination is a required precursor of any excavation in Ireland.

Is it bollocks!!!
I have several uncles who have farms in the bog. Never once did they have to contact anyone before they had "Francie down the road" come over with the JCB to tear up huge trenches in order to build new slurry pits/septic tanks/foundations for silage pits/whatever.

These farms could have been sites for many a community 1000's of years ago since they are on fertile land with many streams running through them.
