after unsuccessfully trying to read the times on the train today i need everyone to do the following for me. each week you're going to write a letter to the times office in dublin asking them to start printing their paper on the same sized paper as they do in the uk because the smaller version is easier to work with. you can write it in your own words, but be creative with it.
once we're successful in our quest you will be rewarded through karma.
thank you.

Originally posted by trev33are you kidding me ol trev?, long sea walks, intimacy with Mrs Robbie, pubs open unofficially until the morning where one can sing SLF, Planxty or any other tunes for that matter, beside a roasting fire with my chess books supping on some amber nectar of the North, the sound of the Irish sea, awe man, ye canny whack it wi a sail éille. Give all that neon sign stuff to city slikers, i suggest they eat pickup, its a farmers life for me! Just to forget the world in some little Irish cottage would be awesome.

Originally posted by trev33I have thought about it many times, Girvan being my preferred location, looking over to the motherland past Ailsa Craig. I do some work for an Irish builder in Glasgow, apparently he has lost quite a bit on a few sites that he purchased prior to the present economic situation. What about Northern Ireland, surely its still sterling there?
