12 mail Friday, January 15, 2010 D Tactical treats: These miniature replicas of the ancient Chinese Terracotta Army have been recreated using chocolate, as part of the Chocolate Wonderland exhibition in Beijing. The exhibition will be opened to the public at the end of January for 72 mouth-watering days Picture: EPA The Big Picture Our leaders fail us Water: Must be managed better In the run up to the introduction of bin charges, the public were softened up with tales of doom and gloom regarding rubbish disposal. Now that the public have been paying directly for the privilege, what has changed? Very little really, except there are more private collection companies, but most of our rubbish still ends up in landfill. Now we have the dire warnings about water even though we live in one of the wettest countries in the EU. To see what our future holds regarding this resource, just look at the UK, where leaking pipes and water shortages are still very much part of everyday life, even after the introduction of water charges. Our problem is not a lack of water, it is a lack of responsible management. Ronan Molloy, D16 Water shortages in Ireland because of a minor cold snap and damage to roads too? If a cold snap can do that to Ireland, what must those poor people in Nordic countries endure every winter? Shortages of water are caused by bad planning of infrastructural needs by local authorities and the State. Damage to the roads comes down to poor road-building skills! Next, Government spin doctors will use the water shortages to justify the introduction of water meters! Roger Bayonetta is probably one of the worst games Ive played in years, it actually gave me a headache! IGN: I wouldnt trust them as far as I could throw them and, as for Edge reviews, they rate them out of ten, not a hundred. The game is so immature I feel embarrassed to call myself a gamer, and the way it depicts women is like it was designed by a 12-year-old!

Customer service number 0818286606 talk to us Model talk: Would it not make more sense for mobile phone provider 3 to advertise their sponsorship of Waterford teams with a picture of Ken McGrath, Eoin Kelly or John Mullane instead of using two models? Why do companies throw out a few models any time they are promoting their products, even though it has absolutely no relevance? Niall S Genius: Just had a thought while reading Metro Herald. All the top couples have their names combined like Brangelina and TomKat, but theres nothing for Beyonc and Jay-Z. So, I think from now on we should start calling them Be-Jay-Zs or BeJayZus! :-) AS Best EVER: I had the best laugh the other day. I was reading Mail and was agreeing with everything written when I spied THE BEST sign off name on a text message EVER. It was from someone rallying the people of Meath West not to vote for Noel Dempsey again (I completely agree) and was signed the genius 4phuxache that definitely deserves a reward! Rosie, D6W In Brief Donncha Ryan, just because a game got a good review online or by a games magazine does not make it good. Thats just some guys opinion. I rented Bayonetta because I did not want to fork out 60, and Im so glad I did as I think the game is rubbish its a button-bashing bore- fest with a terrible storyline. The best game is The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time it didnt get a 100 per cent rating, and Bayonetta doesnt deserve it either. Its your choice to like a game, but dont force your opinion down everyone elses gob! Gerry G Donncha Ryan, what the hell are you whining about? Metro Herald gave Bayonetta four out of five stars! Obviously, gamer nerds like you and your salivating friends at IGN and Edge would give Bayonetta maximum score shes a smoking hot witch who wears nothing but her hair, some sexy librarian spectacles and stilettos with guns attached! Maybe if you stopped fiddling with your analogue stick, youd realise reviewers give opinions if they were all the same, there wouldnt be much point in reviews! Soup Romario Sendusyour txt Karl Walsh, lets also thank Dublin Bus for the serious disruption and, in some cases, full withdrawal of services for nearly two weeks! See, I can be sarcastic too... Shin No James, the best Simpsons episode is the lemon tree one! You lose, Greystones! Steven, Bray Luas drivers, every day you blow cold air through the air conditioning. Its winter, please stop! I alert ticket inspectors and they seem surprised every time! Boris While I sympathise with the people of Haiti, why do they continue to build in areas over an existing fault line? JJ Is it just me and my mother or does anyone else think the girl from Bayonetta, pictured yesterday, bears a striking resemblance to Sarah Palin? Jack and his Mom I read that a woman in the UK called Donna is trying to have her unruly sons ban from kebab shops lifted. Im not joking, its true and totally frikkin hilarious!
