Title: Meter reset .
Post by: john m on October 13, 2020, 11:23:59 am
Social Democrats co-leader Róisín Shortall has called for the Government to keep the country on summer time so people can enjoy brighter evenings which will help cope with the pandemic.

Ms Shortall told Newstalk Breakfast that she had raised the issue at a meeting with health officials and members of Cabinet on Monday and that the Taoiseach had agreed to consider the proposal.

I disagree. Cast your mind back to March. Within 43 hours of being told that €203/week isn't enough money to keep the average idler idling Dr. Leo gave us an increase of €147/week... free money... as simple as something/someone very simple.

Dr. Leo was great so he was.

There was talk alright but it probably would have coincided with the fare increase we were due but FN massaged Annes feet until she orgasmed and she agreed to put the fare increase back until FN stuck their commission up first!!

Yes. Our European masters are organising it. We can't unilaterally change afaik. And there's the Brexit farce and business stuff to consider. Her majesty won't be coming on board with the daylight saving yoke. I can be at the border and into a different time zone in less than ten minutes when this goes ahead. Mad shite.

They didnt bother fucking with the Clock in 1968 .I remember going to school in the morning in the dark .They gave out luminous armbands in school to keep children safe in the dark .The original idea of moving the clock was to give farmers an extra hour of daylight in winter mornings to get the milking done .
Title: Re: Meter reset .
Post by: Horse on October 14, 2020, 10:30:20 am
Clocks in the German Empire, and its ally Austria, were turned ahead by one hour on April 30, 1916—2 years into World War I. The rationale was to minimize the use of artificial lighting to save fuel for the war effort. Within a few weeks, the idea was followed by the United Kingdom, France, and many other countries.

Last Year on the morning that Daylight Savings Time ended I stopped in to visit my aging friend.

He was busy covering his penis with black shoe polish.

I said to him, "You better get your hearing checked - You're supposed to turn your clock back".

Hope he remembers that this year!!

That won't ever happen, I remember me Da telling me that they tried that in London back in the Sixties (and as John M said) there was uproar from the parents who had to bring the childer to school in the dark.

Did you know we are to become more European in the Budget there was an allocation of coin to recruit more Spanish Teachers .Its hidden in the Finance bill which is still not published .The idea is if more of us speak Spanish we can import more Spanish Students who come here to drink and sit on the walls in Clondalkin Village during the summer and spend their Daddys coin .

And the 80's TD. Can't remember my teacher's name but he had a pair of glasses that automatically tinted when the sun hit them. We thought they were quite cool at the time.  Never forget that pox brother O'Grady, Arnold was his nickname, used to give a right hard punch to the chest if he caught you messing. Some dig he had for a pensioner.

Had another cnut that preferred a plastic stick to hit you with. This bastard made you hold your hand out whild he tried to catch you on the tips of your fingers.  If you pulled away, which reflexes made you do, the cnut would double it, the sadistic cnut.

I was assaulted by a Grown Man armed with a stick when I was 13 .The Bad no good bastard couldnt cope with logic .We never done Irish in Primary but I got into one of the higher classes and there were only 3 of us from my primary in his class so he didnt teach the others from my school .If I did 4 Irish questions I would get 4 wrong .He use to line us up and check the answers and give you a whack if you got it wrong so I got four every day so I decided dont do the homework you only get 2 for not doing it so I saved the effort and two whacks .I explained this to him so he said .You said you would of gotten 4 wrong so Im going to give you 4 plus two for not trying how many is that then ." I smirked and said Im good at maths thats 6 .So I put out my hand he whacked me I stuck out my other hand he whacked me then I put out my hand clenched fist he told me to open it I said No .You cant hit me for not doing something I didnt do I didnt do it so I get 2 but you cant hit me for getting something wrong that I didnt Do .He hit me anyway I walked out went home to get me Ma .On the way out of the class I knocked over a stool by the time me Ma got down to the School the story was I threw the stool at the no good child abusing dirtbag .Can you imagine grown men selecting a weapon (stick ) to assault kids and parents who thought that was ok .

Kicked the shit out of a sergeant in 93, went away for a while, came back out and did my leaving cert in Pearse college on Clogher Road, got that.
