12 METRO Friday, October 23, 2009 D Halloween treat: Halloween came early for Abi the lioness and her three-month-old cubs with a tasty meat-and-pumpkin treat at the ZSL London Zoo. The Asian lions were given several carved pumpkins to play with after a meaty breakfast. The young cubs investigated the bright orange globes, clawing, biting and rolling over them Picture: PA Feline scared yet? Zero-tolerance policy Drink driving: You will be caught The proposed legislation by Transport Minister Noel Dempsey to reduce the legal limit of alcohol for drivers is to be warmly welcomed. It is surprising that our public representatives havent got the message that has been persistently communicated to us by the Road Safety Authority to us over the years if you drink, you dont drive. There should be a zero-tolerance policy with no room for ambiguity on driving under the influence. Our public representatives need to show leadership and endorse responsible drinking and road safety. Surely any measure that reduces the carnage on the roads and saves us from the horrors of road fatalities and injuries is a welcome addition to changing our problematic drinking culture? David Moore Of the 1.9million people at work, 1.1million drive to work. How many of these motorists will find themselves before the courts by inadvertently driving over the proposed new blood-alcohol limit the morning after the night before? The 50mg limit will put many perfectly safe but groggy drivers on the wrong side of the law. Paul MacCormaic Is it an accident that Government backbenchers were all over radio, television and newspapers pretending to be members of the Opposition in relation to the proposed new drink- driving laws at the same time that the proposal from the leader of the Opposition to abolish the Senate was getting attention?

Customer service number 0818286606 talk to us Intimidation: Rafas Jaffa Cake, I think what Tadhg Kennelly did is not that bad, it happens in every sport. Roy Keane crunched Marc Overmars in the first few minutes of Holland game a few years back and how we cheered. Its a tactic to intimidate the other team and it works! Darren, Wicklow Glory boy: Rafas Jaffa Cake, its true, Tadhg Kennelly is nothing but a glory boy he came here for the glory of winning an All-Ireland and then writes a book to squeeze as much money out of his time here as possible. Using his dead father to evoke sympathy for himself after his blatant foul is a disgrace! Angry Kerry Fan A load of bull: Enda Kenny would be better off scrapping the Dil and leaving the Seanad alone. At least the Seanad has some genuinely independent voices, whereas the Dil has a bloated bull and a herd of sheep who follow blindly. Amanda C Watchers: I saw a garda using a mobile phone while driving near Dundrum Town Centre. Is that legal? Who will police the police? Rani In Brief Dublin traffic lights, itll take me 25 minutes! Im not Irish and I have to say that Ive never seen any country in the world where the traffic lights work in such a nonsensical way as Ireland. Too many times Ive seen pedestrians and cars both waiting on a red light wondering what they are stopped for. People dont follow the traffic lights here because they make no sense at all. Lights Engineer Cop on to yourself Rafas Jaffa Cake, Tadhg Kennellys shady antics are not an acceptable form of sportsmanship in any country. Your narrow-minded and ridiculous suggestion that in Australia that type of behaviour is acceptable is simply pathetic. Instead of taking a swipe at the country where hes been playing, look at the referees here whose apparent lack of control over the game has led to players thinking they can get away with such stunts. They, like Tadhg Kennelly, should be severely reprimanded for their actions, or lack thereof!

Concerned Driver Ive compared the meerkats, and dont think that model of Aleksander looks anything like him! Mary McD So bank officials get three per cent increases while public servants get additional pay cuts to bail us all out of the banking crisis. Not forgetting that the majority of our deficit is because we bailed the banks out and set up Nama... The Government looks after its cronies again, as it always has... Bastards.
