Went to buy 2 pairs of jeans. Found them no probs in the first 2 shops
I went into.

Also found a black top to replace the one I ruined yesterday. Not in
the garden but walking back into the bedroom. I missed the doorway,
whacked my elbow on the edge of the door, nearly fainted with the pain
and heard a ripping noise as the door handle stuck right through the
fabric.

Also did my last trip to the dump, cleaned the car, repacked the boot,
and will later collect some spare beans from Freecycle, to top up the
classroom beanbag.

Don't you just love it when there are no probs.

No, but I've got 2 elbows where I used to have one - and one is

No. I got the bag off Freecycle originally. Luckily none of the
treasures has tried undoing the zip as the net inside is now torn and
a lot of the beans are loose. I think I might sew it shut.

Update from our sports geology correspondent: "Five hundred million
Chinese viewers are glued to their TV sets.  (The manufacturer recalls
the whole product range, together with the viewers.)  The Rabit limps
confidently into the stadium and jokes with the Chinese field event
officials as he makes his way to the stone-watching pit.  The event is
postponed while the Rabit is questioned by Chinese secret police:
"What was the joke he shared with the officials?"  Rabit stands on his
rights.  Chinese secret police give up and arrest all the Chinese
field event officials instead.  A great wailing and gnashing of teeth,
as their families realise they will never see them again....  (But, do
not be distressed folks, sport is far more important that Human
Rights.)

Rabit stares at the stone.  After thirty-nine seconds the stone
suddenly rolls away and rabit is robbed of his chance of an Olympid
stone-watchin record.

The stone is later interviewed by the man from ITV who likes gettin
arrested for followin the peripheral protest events.  The stone tells
the reporter that it is part of a groundswell.  The reporter gets
arrested but is released later after giving information to the Chinese
authorities.  The police are seen raking up gravel and removing it
roughly to a detention centre.

There's still a lot left although the older bogs like the Bog of Allen
are clapped out. There are still hundreds of miles of narrow gauge bog
railway to cart peat to power stations. They have just replaced the old
peat-fired power stations at Shannonbridge and Lanesborough with brand
new ones. But they've got plenty of wind farms up on the bumpier bits,
though.

Oo, cutting edge.

I remember when schools here started to get BBC comps. I asked my

getting pooters.
My sis shushed me, obviously thinking Oireland couldn't possible have
pooters.

There are a lot of strange things about Oireland. The small Leitrim town
of Ballinamore, which only has one bus a day in each direction passing
through it, now has a new Tesco store under construction, competing with
the existing Supervalu store.

We drove for ten miles along a mainish R road in Donegal before coming
to signs telling us that the road was closed so we had to drive ten
miles back and find an alternative route, although none was signposted.
I suppose all the locals knew about it.

At times the traffic in Dublin in unbelievable so people have to use the
M50 motorway around the western suburbs. Yet you have to sit in long
queues of stationary traffic on the M50 to pass through toll booths,
which is hardly an encouragement to avoid driving through the suburbs.

I was amused by a large sign by the roadside, aimed at motorists who had
just crossed the border from Northern Ireland, saying "Drive on the
Left".

Yep - they love their supermarkets. My dad used to panic going back
for hols that we'd run out of things, until one day he announced 'We
can buy anything here.'

<snigger>

>At times the traffic in Dublin in unbelievable 

True. The roads are too narrow to do anything with. It's a relief to
leave Dublin and get on the wide open roads. They are in good
condition, considering only one car a week uses them.
I always found you could give up indicating as there were no other
drivers around. Plus my aunt used to go through red lights for the
same reason.

Scarily, on the really narrow roads, cars whizz along at 70 mph cos
they know no one else uses that road.

>so people have to use the
>M50 motorway around the western suburbs. Yet you have to sit in long

Are they new? I've never done that.

I think the huge signs boasting about EEC money are a scream though.

As opposed to up the middle.

I like the official road sign just before Tipperary that says 'You've
come a long way', aimed at tourists who know the song 'It's a long way
to Tipperary!!'

And the crossroads with a solid white line across all 4 roads, so no
one has right of way and just sit there.

The new extension of the M4 westwards also has toll booths. It is a

We drove for miles up a narrow road once and it ended up in a farmer's
front yard. They'd seen us and were outside waiting. We just turned
around and drove off.

The N6, which comes off the M4.
Apart from motorways like M50, there are National roads, like the N6,
Regional roads, like the R336, and Local roads, which are sometimes
numbered (e.g. L2167) but mostly not. The Primary National Roads are
usually very good, with slip roads in some places instead of basic
junctions.

On the other hand we went for many miles along L roads in Donegal that
were basically two narrow strips of gravel with grass along the middle,
with occasional passing places.

Acherley, when it comes to directions, you can't get much more absurd

Acherley, when it comes to directions, you can't get much more absurd
instructions than when you ask a Franciscan in Assisi.  I'm plannin my
cyclin journey to Rome now, and I'm stoppin off in Assisi, stayin at
CEFID (the Franciscan inter-demoniational welcome centre).  Here is
the instruction for gettin there!

Lovely, but why do you have to do part of it backwards?  Is wearing the 
habit compulsory?

Brilliant.

<wild applause>

That was the whole point.  Indeed the route involves goin around half
the town unnecessarily... as any fool can see.  (Apart from Franciscan
fools wot is more geographically challenged.)

<awards Kathy a cheap box of chocolates>

See chaps, even a woman with her poor woman's sense of geography and
map readin, is better than yer average Franciscan, who doesn't know
his way around Assisi.
