  • Belfast memories!! (written by Alison!)

    Memories of Belfast (leave me a comment if I've left stuff out) 12 days ago

    Starting the weekend off as we mean to go on i.e. ridiculously late. Not looking at anyone in particular. JOSEPHINE.

    Stephen in his suit. He'd misunderstood Noel's "dress-code 2" advice. He looked like he was up in court.

    Tom sleeping for the entire journey. And in fairness some of us weren't terribly quiet.
    Noel: "Tom Collins, what a hero. Maybe we could raise a cheer or something. Loudly."

    Wispas for 45p in Costcutter just over the border. Thank God really, 'cause they had to suffice as lunch.

    Seeing Ginger being driven off in the world's smallest car to Derry. Gas.

    The rest of us getting the Ulsterbus and discussing (in a very loud and irritating manner) the ins and outs of YFG. Bitching really, while the rest of the passengers secretly composed their letters of complaint to the Irish Times about the vile political youth wing...

    Jumping into the taxi in Derry
    "We're going to meet John Hume"
    Taxi-Dude: "Well he wouldn't be my politics now..."
    Oopsy.
    Taxi-dude then shows us his rubber and plastic bullets from when he used to be a member of the IRA. Right so.
    HOWEVER, he later admits, "Michael Collins was completely right. The Treaty was the right way forward..." Yay.

    Meeting John Hume. The man is quite literally a legend.

    The Stormont crew managing to be late. Again. Oopsy.

    A certain person and their complete lack of social capability, ordering food at really awkward times. Ignoring comments such as "We won't eat here" and "God we're in such a hurry to get back to the hostel".
    Grrrr.
    Kate: "I wanted to shove the fucking lamb up his arse." Indeed.

    Getting to the hostel to find the Erasmus students in their jim-jams, ready for bed, and quite peeved at the interruption.
    "Are yous coming out?"
    "No. We go to bed"
    Me "Did they get on the wrong bus on O' Connell St.?"

    "Yeah, yeah, 5 more minutes"
    - The entire girls bedroom, to Rocky, at regular half-hourly intervals.

    "Jaeger Jaeger Jaeger!!!"

    Bar Baca, with the dishco and the complete lack of people. YFG brought the partay...

    Noel and Kate having a dance-off to "Walk This Way".

    Karen, utterly fabulous, dancing around a pole on the podium.

    "Jaeger, Jaeger, Jaeger!!!"

    Me, too drunk and too lazy to find a seat, so just sitting on top of people. Sorry James.

    The big spinny Rubik's Cubes. Deadly.
    Everyone, at some stage: "Pleeeeease can we have one???"
    Bar dude, several times: "F**k off, they cost £200"

    "Up the UVF!"
    - Horrible taxi-dude, after we'd mentioned the word "free-state" one too many times in the taxi home.

    "Don't you call me pet unless you f**cking mean it..."
    - Eoin Delahunty to me. I'm hoping me was messing.

    The lashings of rain during the THREE HOUR WALKING TOUR of republican murals. And the fact that most of us didn't think it neccessary to bring our umbrella-ella-ellas. Tits.

    Josephine, arguing wtih our tour guide, the staunch republican, and uttering such pearls of wisdom as "But they're terrorists" and "Sure we went through all that in the South, long before yous did". He wanted to know where she lived. EXACTLY where she lived. Oopsy.

    Josephine's face when the tour guide described (in detail) the dirty protests in the Maze.

    "Its not the North. Its the 6 counties"
    - I don't think any of us will be forgetting that in a hurry. Not least because the guy who told us had been to prison twice for making and planting explosives. And the guy who informed on him showed up dead a month later.

    Lunch for £5 in the pub across the road from the graveyard.
    Kate & Aisling: "Can we have some some flatbread with the curry?"
    The waitress brought some uncooked wraps. You have to admire her resourcefulness. But not her pink hoody. It was minging.

    All of us like kids in a sweet shop buying cheap booze in Tesco. And the two greatest lightweights (me and Karen) deciding to split a bottle of wime between us. Such a

  • HSE - we do love them!

    Once upon a time it was resolved to have a boat race between a Beacon Clinic team and a team representing the HSE. Both teams trained long and hard to reach their peak performance.

    On the big day the Beacon Clinic team won by a mile.

    Afterwards the HSE team became very discouraged by the result and morale sagged. Senior management decided that the reason for the crushing defeat had to be found, and a working party was set up to investigate the problem and recommend appropriate action.

    Their conclusion was that the Beacon Clinic team had eight people rowing and one person on steering, whereas the HSE team had eight people steering and one person rowing.

    Senior management immediately hired a consultancy company to do a study on the team's structure. Hundreds of thousands of pounds and several months later they concluded that: "Too many people were steering and not enough rowing."

    To prevent losing to Beacon Clinic the next year, the team structure was changed to three "Assistant Steering Managers", three "Steering Managers", one "Executive Steering Manager" and a "Director of Steering Services".

    A performance and appraisal system was set up to give the person rowing the boat more incentive to work harder.

    The next year Beacon Clinic won by two miles.

    Following this, the HSE laid off the rower for poor performance, sold off all the paddles, cancelled all capital investment in new equipment, and halted development of a new canoe. The money saved was used to fund higher than average pay awards to senior management.

  • UNDERSTANDING THE POLITICAL SYSTEM - borrowed from Fiona!


    Son: "Dad, I have to do a special report for school.Can I ask
    you a question?"

    Father:"Sure son. What's the question?"

    Son: "What is Politics?"

    Father:"Well.let's take our home for example. I am the wage earner,
    so let's call me Capitalism. Your mother is the administrator
    of the money,so let's call her Goverment.We take care of your
    needs,so let's call you The People.We'll call the maid The
    Working class and your baby brother we can call The Future.
    Do you understand son?

    Son: "I'm not really sure,dad. I'll have to think about it."

    That night awakened by his brother crying,the boy went to see
    what was wrong. Discovering that the baby had seriously soiled
    his diaper,the boy went to his parents room and found his
    mother sound asleep. He went to the maids's room,where,peeking
    through the keyhole,he saw his father in bed with the maid.The
    boy's knocking went totally unheeded by his father and the maid,
    so the boy returned to his room and went back to sleep.

    The next morning he reported to his father.

    Son: "Dad,now I think I understand what politics is."

    Father:"Good son! Can you explain it to me in your own words?"

    Son: "Well dad,while Capitalism is screwing The Working Class,
    Government is sound asleep,The People are being completelty
    ignored and The Future is full of shit.

  • Cllr Simon Harris
    Cllr Simon Harris

    Please Vote No. 1 Simon Harris this Friday for both Wicklow County Council & Greystones Town Council.


    Simon has been working tirelessly for our community for a long period of time - setting up an Autism charity to lobby for schools for children with special needs, working on the Greystones Arts Festival, helping with the Summer Project and so on.

    He is local - has lived in the locality all his life.

    Now more than ever we need someone to fight for us on the County Council, to give us a voice on the issues that matter and to stand up for us. We cannot have a situation where the same people represent us literally for decades.

    We need change - we need new energy - we need fresh ideas.

    By voting Simon Harris No. 1 we can get this.

    Polling Stations are open from 7am-10pm on Friday, 5th June.

    Please spread the word amongst family and friends. Change starts here!

    Alright there!

    Just though I tell my fellow FGers that I am trying to raise €20,000 for the Christina Noble Children's Foundation by taking part in the Mongol rally next summer, a gruelling drive in a sub 1 litre car to Mongolia (10,000+miles).

    We have set up a page on MyCharity.ie though which funds will be sent directly to the Christina Noble Foundation. You can donate a little as €2 to whatever you want.

    We would really appreciate you support.
    To give what you can please go to the charity page on mycharity.ie

    http://www.mycharity.ie/events/mongo...

    and give what you can.

    Many thanks in advance of you support.
