Pet Hate #25.944,183:
Crosses on top of hills and mountains.
When I go hill walking or climbing, I want to take in the scenery, and look at the views. I don't want those things spoiled by a big, ugly, wooden, cast iron or concrete monstrosity paying tribute to a superstition I don't hold. Do people have to get planning permission for these things? If I wanted to put a giant crescent moon on Carrauntuohill, or a 30-foot-high Dharmic Wheel on Bray Head, would I be accommodated in the name of equality? Why is what is essentially vandalism of our natural landscape facilitated and even encouraged just because it happens to support a middle-eastern fireside tale from several millenia ago?
Now THAT'S a complaint.

You wouldn't, maybe, stand with your back to the cross?
Just sayin'.
It's difficult when you're walking up the hill towards it!Originally Posted by pineapple stu
Plus, I don't think the same argument would wash for the 10-metre-tall Star of David I was going to put on Djouce
Sorry about that Peadar, I find it strange that people like to remember my death and celebrate it too, it bloody hurt yeknow, I'd personally much rather forget about the whole affair.. Didn't think anyone else would mind all that much thou, so I let them at it. I'll have dad take everything down in the morning..
Oh and just noticed Dannys post a while ago, congrats on the grade, that's no mean feat!

Soooo, I wanted to mark my one thousandth post with something deep and thoughtful. After an afternoon in city centre in today's glorious sunshine, I have this to say:
Hotpants.
That. Is. All.

Just spent a weekend drinking on Aranmore Island off Donegal coast. Decided that since we were playing a gig out there, that we'd bring a crowd out with us and just party for the weekend.
It was totally the right idea. I feel one of those 5 day hangovers coming on though.

US President born in 1790 has two surviving grandchildren.
Bloody hell.
I thought until tonight that General Longstreet's (Robert E Lee's second in command, iirc) widow dying in 1960 was noteworthy enough, but that is really unbelievable. 223 years and counting....
