Dart: By name, not reputation I would really appreciate it if someone in CI explained the logic behind the 15-minute Dart intervals. It is yet another example of the complete lack of effort that goes into decision making by CI management. Perhaps scheduling is a difficult task, but Im sure anyone with half a brain could have made the point that demand might be slightly greater on a weekday morning than, say, a Sunday evening, and that Darts should be more frequent at busier hours. Bottom line: a monkey could do a better job in CI than the current management! Furious Commuter M, organ donation, while not very pleasant to think about, is not a very personal decision its the only sane, responsible decision to make. If I die in one of the few ways which will allow my organs to be donated, they can take everything they can get their hands on, because it could save another human life! I will be dead and, as such, will not care. But Im sure the person getting the transplant and their family will care a huge amount as people die every day waiting for transplants. Hopefully it will soon be an opt out system, not opt in. But, until then, there are no good reasons to not carry an organ donor card.

Customer service number 0818286606 talk to us Cant be bothered: M, I am of the opinion that if someone refuses to carry an organ donation card for religious reasons, this is no better than someone refusing to carry one because they cant be bothered. Michael, Killiney Opt out: Would it not make sense to have everyone as an organ donor? Those who dont want to be donors should be the ones to carry the cards. It would make everything so much easier. CS Priceless! To the driver of the 5:25am Limerick to Heuston train yesterday, thanks so much for making my morning a lot brighter! The excuse you gave for the train being delayed The train can only go at 110kmh (70mph) was brilliant! I hope that you heard all of us passengers breaking our sides laughing. Keep those excuses coming! Kevin F Gimmicks: Avatar is just another film in a growing list that relies on computer-generated images and gimmicks to make up for a lack- lustre storyline. Banjo Say it: How do those with a sympathetic ear listen to music? On their empathy player... Dork In Brief years it took to make Avatar. Any animated sequence takes an eternity just to render, frame-by- frame, on huge banks of computers. Consider the detail in the jungle on Pandora alone (entirely created within a computer), then factor in the animation time and youll have no problem in seeing the film taking much longer to get to the standard it achieved. As for saying its not phenomenal, well, I went a second time to make sure it was as good as I thought and I came away loving it more! Elaine I am writing to complain about Fingal County Councils lack of rubbish collection in the Howth area. Okay, the weather was bad and when I rang I was told it would be collected the following day. The next day came and went and no sign. Now they wont be collecting until tomorrow, and the rubbish is building up and spreading to adjacent roads. The council is a farce and needs a serious looking at! John, Howth Sendusyour txt Why is there still no law banning the Smithfield Horse Fair for its unimaginable cruelty to those defenceless animals? Marie, D7 OMG, I agree! That Evian ad with the babies is the freakiest ever. Awful! What were they thinking? SMC Dan, youre not alone. I think the Evian babies ad is creepy too. Jo Johnny Hughes, will you marry me? You are spot on. Lets find the meaning of life and forget the recession I say! Belle I found a wedding ring in a cash and carry in Sallynoggin. Please contact 0879046932 or Mailbox if its yours. John K In New Zealand, you are asked if you wish to be an organ donor when you pass your driving test and then they print your response on the licence. NZ Donor Alain, Cupid is not a boy, he is a cherub. And cherubs, just like angels, dont have a sex. Cupid is just portrayed as a male.
