h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

It's really weird when you see the GPO to think that it was such an important place in the events.

The bullet holes are the weirdest bit I think. Those pillars probably saved some people from being killed there.

Thats Fine Wicklow granite, stoped the shells, the only reason they left was that the roof caught fire.

There are angels on the GPO roof and one has both its wings shot with a machine gun and a single bullet hole in between the eyes.

Oh, the poor angel! Never noticed them before actually. Must remember to look next time I'm in Dublin.

So you from Dublin yourself then?

Nah, A Culchie Corkonian born and bred, I bleed red..... and white.

Ah. Totally opposite end of Ireland to me. I'm from the North Coast. County Londonderry.

Ah yes I'm on the arse and of the teddy bear that is the Isle while your up there around... the ear I suppose. On the plus side we dont get alot of ear wax down here, but we do get aaalllooottt of Teddy Poop.

Never thought of it like that. I'd been told the teddy Bear thing, but never really thought of the whole ear wax and stuff thing.

Oh ya, after a wahile you really start to appreciate Galway/Clare area. Notice where the shannon enters the atlantic is also where the teddy bear would have his *cough* langer.

Interesting...Never really thought in detail about the anatomy of the teddy island.

Oh belive an insomniac, 4 o'clock in the morning and you will deeply think about anything... oh and also learn the joys of a tayto sandwich and 3 in the morning.

Tayto....one of the many things that you don't see when you leave the Emerald Isle!

My cousin went to Australia for a year. A week before christmas he rings me and asks for three things to be sent over to him in the biggest box I could find:

Cheese and onion tayto's,
Cadbury cream eggs,
tayto waffles.

Did you know that you can go onto the Tato website and have them deliver you a box of crisps? A friend told me about it.

now all I need is cadbury

Check out their website and see if they do the same.

Better not, watching my figure.


My bosses can be some pricks when it comes to weight.

Your bosses?

whooopss should have made that clearer.

Irish Army, wwweeelll tecnically FCA at the mo, but after I get my degree officership in the army.

Did a tour and basically its one of the few things I found most rewarding.

That makes sensr. Was getting scared tghat your bosses just wanted you to be a twig for company image or somewthing daft.

No.. although they do enjoy telling me the I am "A WORTHLESS MAGGOT"
