D Wednesday, February 10, 2010 mail 17 You cant park here! Space visitors: Cad mle filte? To the owner of the meteorite that recently crashed in Ireland, if you or any of your extra-terrestrial life- forms out there are considering visiting our country again any time soon, please stop and think for a moment. You will be charged heavily for the privilege. The carbon emissions on your meteorite will be noted and taxed (thanks to our very own extra- terrestrial life-forms, the Greens). Forget about parking around Dublin city too as it is (excuse the pun) astronomical. And judging by your speed the other night, you will receive maximum penalty points thanks to our new 30kmh speed limit. Also, if you plan to take off out of Dublin Airport, well, were gonna have to charge you 10 to do that. In fact, we will do everything we can to make your trip as unpleasant as possible! Cad mle filte indeed! David P I have to agree with Kevin with regard to George Lee standing down from Fine Gael. At least he showed the courage of his own convictions. He took on the role to make a change and when it became apparent that he couldnt, he stood aside fair play, George. If only the Green Party could show the same backbone and either stand up against the incinerator or stand down from politics. They have done nothing in office other than prove that they are just in it for the money! Dave Romarey, let us not pretend to be naive the pyjama ban has very little to do with fashion and a lot to do with the breed of people who wear such attire outdoors.

Sod them all! When they are lucky enough to have children, they will be looking for help! Mother-Of-One want them on my premises either. The problem with the PC Brigade is that their banging on about marginalised groups actually facilitates and justifies these groups walking all over the rest of us respectable, upstanding and er, dressed citizens! L, Dublin Of course Scottish people would be/are annoyed [with Scotland-born player James McCarthys decision to pledge his allegiance to Ireland]. His parents and three of his grandparents were born in Scotland. The State paid for their education, health and all other support. He learned to play football in a Scottish School and was developed by a Scottish team (Hamilton) and a Scottish manager. Do people seriously think we wouldnt be annoyed? Scott, Co Wicklow Would all the former pedestrians now using the Dublin City bicycles please remember they are on two- wheeled devices designed to stay off footpaths and St Stephens Green, not to drive against traffic on a one- way street! Peter Sendusyour txt Traffic lights ARE for everybody! Saw a cyclist being pulled in by a garda at College Green after going through a red light. Walker Romarey, if someone is still wearing the clothes theyve slept in overnight, its extremely unhygienic to wear them to a supermarket that stocks food. Fair play Tesco! Alan George Lee was right to quit. Football managers dont make high-profile signings in order to leave them on the bench! Gavin, Dublin What George Lee found out is Fine Gael and Fianna Fil are two ends of the same pantomimes horse! As in Iceland, the two by-elections will be our referendum on Nama. Jon Doe Dave, the Thierry Henry thing is almost ancient history now, get over it! Anyway, if you think about it, were all of Norman origin. So come on, lets get behind our real ancestors! Antoine Who is a bigger legend, Jacko or Elvis? Elvis Fan txt MAIL to 53131* Dreaming: My dream holiday is to Kefalonia, Greece ever since I saw the movie Captain Corellis Mandolin. My screensaver is a picture of this fabulous place. We got married in Crete on October 1 1995 and fell madly in love with the people and the culture. Almost 15 years and three children later, we would love to go abroad for a holiday without the children to bring back the romance that everyday life makes us too tired to pay attention to. Maria Murphy, Robertstown Purrfect: I always wanted to see the pyramids and the sphinx in Egypt. Ive never really been outside Europe and I think it would be amazing to see somewhere so different to Ireland.
