Jay, I meant no disrespect to you or yours - just saying what I've read of the animosity between Ireland and Uk? Forgive me if I'm out of order |

Fitz, No offence taken at all LOL!!! Partner is half-Irish, I'm a quarter Irish, we feel a great affinity with the place! It is the North of Ireland that had hostile feelings towards the UK in the 1960's and 70's.I can't bear to go there, for personal reasons, but love Eire and always feel welcome there. Jay |

Running vehicles on hot air? A wonderful idea. For now, we're happy with one of ours running on used vegetable oil. Hi, Bryan, it's good to see you. Thanks, everyone. It's way past a uk bedtime so I expect I'll be on my ownio soon, but thanks for a really interesting discussion! x |

What a great thread!! I think others could learn a lesson from this in that opinions CAN be expressed and appreciated without nastiness. The thread was about freedom of speech and it spoke for itself! Sleep well all |

Good Subject but can be taken many ways really Yes I believe in freedom of speech but only when it doesn't hurt anyone. Take today for example, hubby and I was on the train coming back from the city. This middle aged lady(if you can call her a lady) was using four letter words in virtually every sentence.. She had the loudest voice and everyone was looking at her. I was offended and especially when there was children on the train. I know these words are used more these days but I think if you have to use them there is a time and a place. The train certainly was not the place. Hubby did tell her to watch the language in the end. (His freedom of speech) lol. Freedom of speech I don't have a problem with. As long as you are not degrading or maliciously attacking individuals. Some may not agree with me. It's just my own thoughts on the subject Regards Jackie Regards Jackie |

I think we do have freedom of speech,but I also feel we are getting to the stage where were frightened of voicing it. |

Freedom of speech does not mean the right to shout 'FIRE' in a crowded theatre. Our rights to freeedom of speech must not override the rights of others to live in peace and safety. Gwynne |

We saw one wreath - in St Stephen's Green, at the foot of a statue to a poet who was killed in WW1. Nothing at the memorial for WW2 naval personnel though. Jay |
