D Thursday, January 14, 2010 mail 17 Eggcellent: A mosaic of the Virgin Mary is displayed in Kiev. The artwork, created by Ukrainian artist Oksana Mas, is made from 15,000 painted Easter eggs Picture: Reuters The Big Picture Ah, the blame game Bayonetta: Like, the best, ever! Miss Angry, Im amazed youre blaming the Government on freeze, thaw action cracking the water pipes. How are they supposed to predict where a PVC pipe is going to crack until it actually happens? Weve all at one stage left a beer bottle or two in the freezer, only to forget about them until you discover their remains the next day, cracked into many pieces as the beer has frozen over and expanded. By your logic, the Government owes me a crate of beer: approxi- mately one bottle lost every second week for every year since my 18th birthday. Now Im 29, so party in my gaff everyone! But please bring your own ice, as Ive no water... Mr N-ice Miss Angry, spare a thought for the elderly and infirm who have been housebound because of the weather, not to mention those with broken limbs. Also, schools are there to educate your children, not to babysit them while you work! Lisa, Dublin Id like to comment on your games reviews. As a former games developer living in Dublin, games have been my bread and butter for a long time and, as such, I am stunned at the games reviews, and in particular the latest one for Bayonetta.

Arthur C Clarke knew when the new millennium was going to start: 2001. C Smith No 0?: Anyone who brings up the there was no year 0 argument must accept that the first decade/ century/millennium had only 9/99/999 years. Otherwise, 1980 was part of the 70s. Steve I Y2k: John Wynne, last year was the tenth year of the 21st century. Obviously the year 2000 was the first. Millennium celebrations on December 31, 1999, should be a clue. Use your fingers... Ch Only five yards: To the lady pushing the pram at 8.37am yesterday in the middle of Rathgar Road during heavy traffic, why, why, why? Could you not walk the five yards to the next pedestrian traffic light? That is an innocent baby, not a bag of spuds! Louis Appreciated: I would like to say thanks to all the Dublin Bus drivers who drove during the snow and icy conditions recently. You helped me and many other people in Dublin get to work! Karl Walsh In Brief Your opinion worth a look, and the poorest to mediocre comments you could possibly get for a game dont tie in with IGN, the most reliable reviewers on the planet, which said: The best action game I have ever played. Not only that, but Edge Magazine, the most brutally harsh reviewer of them all, gave it a score of 100! As such, I have to ask if the reviewer actually completed the game? It is well established that this is required to give a game a proper review. I think it is such a pity that people will read that review and ignore one of the best games ever to hit any console, from the team that brought Devil May Cry to the PS1. Donncha Ryan Interesting to hear the business groups complain about the effect of the cold spell on business. Perhaps if they had shown some consideration for their customers by spreading grit or removing ice from their car parks and footpaths it might not have been so bad? RJ, Dublin Sendusyour txt If folks are depressed by the movie Avatar, they should get stuck in and save the Earths rainforests! Donald P Is it true Ireland has an emergency plan for nuclear attacks/accidents but doesnt have one for adverse weather conditions? CN No, no, no! The greatest Simpsons episode was the one with Johnny Cash as Homers spirit guide. And that wasnt featured either... James, Greystones Can we please adopt a policy where Fianna Fil or Green Party politicians have mandatory brain scans before they make any decisions? To see if theres damage, I hear you ask. No, to see if its there! Stevo Oh A decade can also be defined as... Ant McPartlin. SJ Regarding the fat bottomed girls dont need to get on their bike article, please dont encourage them! Today, there are more melons than apples in the orchard...
