THE BODEGA IS SHUTTING FOR EVER



For international readers, this will mean nothing, but for Cork people and the employees of this important pub it is terrible news. the Bodega, which has been my local for the past five years has been sold to property developers who apparently are to turn it into more shops, One of the towns most prestidigous drinking haunts has to make way for shoppers.
Ourselves and Tone Control / The Sunbeams will be playing there probably next Friday or Saturday, do come along for one last tapas and a drink in an airy atmosphere with large lamp shades. It will be a party, we will be drinking.

Elvis Found alive in limerick in caravan

ORLAGH CASSIDY WITH SOME TOAST, THOUGHT IT WAS ELVIS FOR A MOMENT......SORRY





Shall we record a new album? Yes lets,
Shall we release a single? OK if you insist.

Will you buy it??




Well, Christmas is over and spring is in the air, The band have been going long enough now for us to know it is working, so its time to record a single and stick it on a new album, any ideas on the name of the album will be welcome, The boys are amongst the finest muicians around and I am sure the songs we choose to write will be good. so, wish us luck.

Let the forces of darkness cower in fear. For the time to swing is here my dear.

The whole Elvis thing was just to get your attention, sorry about that.

Global Warming Lecture



There is fast approaching a time called the tipping point, about 25 years away, where the whole climate change will be happenning at such a pace that it will be unstopable. all the . 3 degrees in the next 100 years is based on emmissions now but within the next ten years those green house gasses will have tripled in yearly volume. we are going to witness one of the most important times in the history of the human race. good a. The planet is worth our efforts to improve this problem but What we have is worth keeping also, will our efforts make a difference at this late stage, probably not. 3 degrees rise will be here soon. that means that southern europe and the area around the equator will become a dust bowl and many asian countries will be uninhabitable this will lead to uprisings and fighting for resourses (water mainly). the Northern hemisphere will experience longer summers and warmer winters. i wonder how long life will go on as usual, I know that in some parts of the world now families spend days inside with the air conditioning on watching videos, if it gets like that in say England, whats it going to be like in those other places

GLOBAL DIMMING

THIS IS AN HORIZON DOCUMENTARY. ITS 49 MINUTES LONG AND VERY EXPLANATORY. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT CAN BE DONE, I SUSPECT THAT NOTHING IS THE ANSWER. IT NEEDS WORLD POWERS TO SAY "RIGHT. ELECTRIC CARS FROM NOW ON, WIND AND SEA TURBINE TO SUPPLY POWER, INDUSTRY EMISSION TO BE CUT 50 -70 %". BUT THEN I SUSPECT THE POWERS THAT BE DONT CARE TOO MUCH BECAUSE THEY HAVE SO MUCH POWER AND WEALTH THAT THEY CAN LIVE ON THE PLANET WHEN THE VAST MAJORITY ARE GONE, WHEN THE POLAR ICE CAPS HAVE MELTED AND THE WATER LEVEL IS 21 FEET HIGHER AND ENGLAND IS A DUST BOWL DUE TO THE HIGH TEMPERATURE AND INDIA IS UNINHABITABLE, WE COULD ACTUALLY BE LIVING THROUGH THE MOST EXCITING AND EVENTFULL PART OF THE HUMAN RACES EXISTENCE, ITS NATURAL CULLING.
