'The Irish poet Brendan Kennelly once described Bewley's Café in Grafton Street as the 'heart and the hearth of Dublin'. Dublin, he said, would not be Dublin without Bewley's. These sentiments have been echoed by generations of Irish people since Joshua Bewley first introduced tea to the Irish public in 1835. Bewley's is a name synonymous in the history of Dublin and more recently of Ireland as a whole. Bewley's itself has a rich history of growth and survival which has proved it to be one of the last bastions of tradition in a changing Ireland.' read full story / add a comment

"The problems with aspartame include not only the biochemical nature of this toxin but also it sheds light on the political nature of the players involved. The changes in regulatory policies and regulations resulting from corporate-government ties and the politicians closely associated with these ties. What I can tell you, regarding toxicology, histology and biochemistry, is that aspartame is neurotoxic. Its components easily transcend the blood-brain barrier, interfering with normal nerve cell function. This affects the glutathione and calcium mechanisms in place, destroying nerve call integrity. The methanol then breaks down into formaldehyde-formic acid components, which denaturizes/mutates the DNA: a known scientific fact. The subsequent result from this interaction and from isolates of genetically modified amino acids, the methanol, is nerve cell necrosis and subsequent organ system degradation" Arthur M. Evangelista, a former FDA Investigator read full story / add a comment

Feeling sad and slimy in your shiny runner shoes? Man I feel your pain you got the corporate logo blues............ Made in an airy family run warehouse in Portugal, fully unionised, providing free medical care, paid annual leave, and a decent wage. Guaranteed worker, earth, and animal friendly. Summer 2004 sees the launch of the ethical sneaker 100% prime guilt free tofu fillet urban footwear.... Adbusters have launched their "Blackspot Sneaker" modelled on the converse original a la Joey Ramone with the demise of Nike foremost in mind! The rethink the cool anti swosh campaign seeks to do as much damage as possibly to the already ailing public image of Phil Knights sordid and stinking multinational empire of shame and revolutionise capitalism. When the day comes we can step out and over the rotting corpse of corporate control in grassroots style! Check out the link below for info.......... read full story / add a comment

Mercer Human Resources firm released their survey that places Tokyo as the world's most expensive city. Dublin gets the rank of 21st, a massive jump from being placed at 73 in the space of a year! Click on link and dwnld their pdf file that lists such. Thanks FF/PDs, we are all waiting for this trickle down effect, it would sure beat having four euro in change after paying the rent and getting the shopping. Mind you, being poor can give one the incentive to try new things, like home brewing and setting up an illegal shebeen. That is, if you can manage to fit all three customers into your average Dublin beds*it. read full story / add a comment

I today lodged a formal complaint with the Irish Competition Authority and the EU Directorate General for Competition regarding excessive pricing, following Diageo's announcement to increase the price of Guinness. The multinational drinks company announced yesterday that they would increase the wholesale price of Guinness in Ireland by 6c as of next Tuesday, 1 June 2004. I would encourage people to write, email and phone the authorities, who are supposed to protect consumers from such behaviour by large corporations. read full story / add a comment
