I was watching a news article on RTE 30th May 2005 about drunken street violence in Dublin. It rekindled a question that has always been in my mind, "what about an alternative to alcohol". It is clear that Irish citizens desire some kind of recreational substance, the most socially accebtable being alcohol. read full story / add a comment

Very clever man is Mr. Chirac, very clever.
I reckon it's on account of him not watching telly,
and avoiding the richer heavier sauces at the antonine carâme suppers.

As we were told, in no uncertain terms by the yes campaign, the rejection of the Constitution, would mean a rejection of not only the lengthy document of V.Giscard d'Estaing, but also of the treaties and accords incorporated therein- Nice, Maastricht, Shengen, Versailles, Lisbon and Rome.

In it is thus not surprising that throughout France this morning, in between burning the 12 starred flag, shoppers have been attempting to pay for their bagettes in francs.

Meanwhile the Pope has called on Kathurliks to abstain from €U referenda. read full story / add a comment

Everyone in the house is getting ready to go out and vote. Polling stations in our area (Bagneux, one of the last two Communist towns left in Paris's former "red belt" suburbs) are closing at 9 or so. Nina and I (we're engaged - did I say?) are then off for a non-party with some friends. I can't vote here, but I've been following some of what others have been saying here, and would like to share a few observations with you. read full story / add a comment

The British based news magazine "The economist" this week led with a cover "Italy the real sick man of Europe" which saw a little illustration of the peninsula on crutches hit news kiosks across the continent and a lot of content inside on the moribund, stagnant, depressed economy, and little digs at the lack of media freedom, disregard for civil and human rights and the "smellyiness" of it all. read full story / add a comment
