    Googling "where has good weather in June" as a very vague start to honeymoon hunting, mostly in terms of avoiding places that have natural disaster grade weather in the early summer. First site advises Ireland. Another advises England.

    Feck off lads, we actually want a holiday here... :pac:

    Is that not exactly what ulrapercy was ranting about? Others' rants?

    I meant I agreed with him that the thread was gone to sh1t- I didn't say our reasons for believing that were the same.

    To my horror and sadness, I have found myself tutting over grammatical mistakes, made by teachers, in dealings with the kids' school. I should really go out and buy a box of green ink biros now.

    Rant: this years DCM course. It flat out sucks. First 14 miles all either up or down. I know it's the "hometown race" but if the Rock and Roll crowd had designed this course people would be giving out a hell of a lot more!

    5:30pm on a Friday. I fncking hate it. It's when the world collaborates to land work on my desk, just as I'm beginning to disengage a little and start anticipating my first beer.

    More disgust than rant:
    TV cameras in people's faces (close family especially) during the most horrific funeral one could possibly imagine in one's wildest imagination.

    Totally agree, it was horrific having camera s stuck there.

    I didn't see the coverage, but there is deemed to be a public interest when people die in such awful circumstances. Two murders and a suicide in the one family; there are obviously questions that need answering. And just for the record, the journalists, camerapeople and photographers involved don't enjoy these assignments, and strive to cover them as unobtrusively as possible, so as not to intrude on people's grief.

    Covering it is one thing but this seemed more obtrusive than anything I've seen on RTE before to be honest.

    There's a difference between the 'Public interest' - e.g. the authorities investigating the 'why' of this terrible thing in the hope it's ever happening again can be prevented and what the public will find interesting. The RTE close up coverage of that poor family appalled me …had to turn it off. What's to be gained from watching those poor people so closely hours after most of their family die. If someone wasn't sickened with pity for them we aren't repelled by the intrusion then think there's something wrong.

    My God. This whole site. It looks like ****. Everything single about it bar the actual posters is ****ing awful. It's clunky, hard to understand, impossible to navigate around. The whole thing needs serious modernisation.

    Something I've noticed on Boards lately is uneducated bitter clowns who are just being a**holes for the sake of being an a**hole!!

    You know the type, the "I have no experience or actual knowledge of the subject you are discussing but I think you're wrong and because I don't understand what you're talking about or doing I hate you" type of d***head that Trolls certain threads/forums ......... http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057273126

    Em - you did post a link to your juice forum in your post here ;) I didn't have to go into your profile and search for your post history to find it. That is the stalking part I refer to. :)

    Well all I can say is watch the coverage from the news last night and you will see it was not un obtrusive. They could report the story with out the images of a grieving mother and father watching their children been driven away. It was gut wrenching . And I'm not blaming the camera men etc who are just following orders nor did I ever assume they took any enjoyment from it. I do however believe a very low key approach is better in what is essentially a family tragedy.
