Mary Harney has banned the sale of magic mushrooms!! In a decision taken in record-quick time, Harney and her government colleagues decided that they couldn’t have us all going around sampling mind-altering fungi and maybe even enjoying them. More importantly the decision was made that we couldn’t be trusted to decide for ourselves what was safe/unsafe for each of us to try. We need such decisions to be made for us because apparently we are incapable of deciding for ourselves. ... read full story / add a comment

The film opens as a platoon of US Special Forces is dropped off by Chinook into the snowbound Tora Bora mountains in a sweep for Taliban and Al-Qaida fighters. Instead they come across the horribly mutilated corpses of the tribesmen and jihadists apparently torn to shreds by some kind of beast. The platoon proceeds to a cave where they discover a vast network of tunnels which house an Al-Qaida HQ but again find evidence of a fierce struggle and blood splattered human remains. A survivor is found but he babbles nothing but verses from the Koran before leaping to his death over percipe. Needless to say the platoon are themselves ripped apart in appallingly graphic attacks by a legion of Yetis. The dying Lieutenant calls in an airstrike and the sole surviving Yeti is captured and taken to Kabul. Roll opening credits. ... read full story / add a comment

Before we jump do we really need to stand back and see exactly what we are doing. We all have our concerns and arguements about public transport but are we really sure that our political leaders are carrying out their objectives in the interest of the Irish people. When one of your parents is gasping on their last breath and cannot recieve or are refused the tretament they need to survive , just think about it, your hard paid taxes built a Luas or a defunct computer voting system or a,or a, or a, and need I go on. If you believe the private sector will solve all your woes then I'm afraid you deserve all you get. ... read full story / add a comment
