Commonwealth Games - Giant monkeys to guard spectators
While 100,000 security guards have been deployed to counter potential threats from militants, authorities in Delhi have turned to rented langurs to thwart any monkey threat to the Commonwealth Games.
The grey langur, a giant monkey with a black face, is a popular antidote to the monkey threat.

Remember that the whole history of Ireland is a record of betrayals by politicians and statesmen, and remembering this, spurn their lying promises and stand up for a United Ireland - an Ireland broad based upon the union of Labour and Nationality." - James Connolly.

I thought we only had them in the Dail. We are real lucky.

You ever wondered where the Cork expression 'langer' came from?
