Ireland Could Be in Path of Falling Satellite This Week

[C. Flower]

This very large object is on it's way down, and is expected to arrive in several large pieces next Friday.

Is this what the tin-foil hat people have been preparing for all these years ?

You're more likely to be hit by a bus.

[Dr. FIVE]

That's where they keep Enda I think

[DCon]

Where will the Hobbits move to?

[Baron von Biffo]

Where will the Hobbits move to?

Cabinet room.

[Ah Well]

The Meeting Room for the future Fianna Fail Party (as they become like the fairy folk running around ringforts, spoken about as a myth but never actually seen)

PS - Nuff of that, gone way off topic and apologies

[morticia]

Anyone actually projected roughly where it is to land??

[Captain Con O'Sullivan]

Somewhere in a band either side of the equator which happens to be the most heavily populated corridor of the planet I believe is the nearest guess. Quite likely to burn up and fall apart because of the re-entry shake, rattle and roll plus it is delicate and undefended against the heat generated in scorching through the atmosphere. Unlikely to wake up sometime in the new few days to find a fully formed satellite parked badly alongside the family saloon. Wouldn't it be grand though if a one foot melted mass of space metal went right through Cowen's pub in Clara.

Hurleys at the ready lads and don't take your eye off it as is screams down through the atmosphere. Cuilin amhan to the first lad that volleys it into the Atlantic. Stand by for a gallop through Amhran na Bhfian for the lads and lasses at the Irish Space Defence Forces HQ. 'Tis Sliothar of the Year we may be talking about here.

The Team On Stand-by Yesterday

Why is it necessary for Irish female politicians to be daubed with make-up like some kind of Pinocchian nightmare?

I'm still uneasy after Mary Coughlan's weirdness for a BBC TV interview. She looked like an apprentice serial killer.

I wonder is it the difference that they get made up for TV cameras and then get photographed and look as if they've had the stuff applied in a windtunnel or wha'?

Afraid when it comes to make up, precedents have been set that allow them to do as they wish

Forrest Gump or what. Normally we'd be talking about George Bush in a collection of pols but not on this occasion.

He looks like someone who has escaped from an institution disguised in whatever clothes were on the line.

[Kev Bar]

I'm cool. Planning to move in with some Jewish friends

[Count Bobulescu]

I like that strategy Kev.
