Love Australia too, visited your great country twice. Majestic and welcoming. Have a great week.

I agree but you would still be looking at people thinking 'are you one?' I prefer #canada.

I know, it was beautiful. I'm sick of my country, Ireland, sucking up to the US administration by trying to sit on the fence. RTE breaks up the numbers by city which makes it look small when it was millions on the streets. It's like we don't realize that US companies are here for the tax breaks

I have visited over 30 of the individual states. Stopped going as soon as he was elected first time, didn't think I'll ever go back. You have to remember that at least half of them are ok with this shit. How do you visit a country where half of the population hate you?

He got a special award for having the same whistle all his career. Only replaced the pea twice, lanyard six times and body once.

Notice how the numbers attending are vastly reduced in the RTE report. The facts of a protest are there but their potential impact or significance is underplayed to maybe protect our FDI?

Spoon into the prepared tin, sprinkle some porridge oats on top.  Place in into the preheated oven and bake for 50 mins.  Once baked, carefully remove from the tin and pop on a wire rack to cool.

In a pyrex jug add the butter and treacle and melt in the microwave and set aside to cool slightly.  Into a bowl, mix the melted treacle and butter with the remaining wet ingredients and whisk to combine.   To this add the dry ingredients and mix.

Thanks, cooling down now. Might have a slice later.

I'm not going to clog up your replies but this is one that I'm happy with. Again just taken on the phone with no real photographic knowledge. I just take snaps of my experiences really.

I realise that now and they are beautiful. I suppose what I meant was that mine was hastily taken. What used to be called a snap!

alarm tripped. Several shots came through the door and frame as I stood on the step. My jacket was safely tucked in the boot of the car as in those days we weren't allowed to wear them in public in case we scared said public. Life is a lot slower now but I agree with your statement.

Zeerust. Again fired upon but escaped unscathed. At a border crossing in Northern Ireland I was caught between British Army and IRA fire. Again I escaped with no injuries. The final time that I can recall live rounds being directed at me was when approaching a safe house in the UK after a panic

Many years ago I was working in Botswana. Got into some trouble and had my vehicle fired on by a jeep mounted 50 cal. Later I was taken to an abandoned police station in the bush and faced a firing squad. Obviously no shots were fired this time! Also had a run in with the SADF outside a town called

Not nearly as beautiful as yours but rather taken on the phone as I walked down my drive to visit an elderly relative. He doesn't get it much and I wanted him to see the colour of the sky that night. That's Sliabh Liag across the bay in the distance.

Great station and great transit system. Once went to a Sandcastle building competition in Nanaimo, Victoria Island. Beautiful city.

He said it to Richard Cohen for a column in the WP. The comment was in an early draft but removed for the published column. He has also called her "a piece of ass" said she had "the best body" and the famous dating quote. He should be locked up.

In sport we try to work on elimination of "unforced errors" but in politics it appears to be the new culture.

It is so depressing. Hard to see how we come out of this with any decency left in the world.
