They are not big where i come from. Here you have leaders. Bishopstown's Credit Union offers a PrePaid MasterCard with no charges. Corkonians Speak with your euro and not on the blogs. Change over to the Credit Union. Viva la Revolucion! Adopted Corkonian :) Moved to Ireland 3 years ago and i see so many people blogging about banks yet no one mentions credit unions.

My Daddy used to play it on the violin and also sing it my mam. It brings back so many happy memories of my childhood and how we used to have music in our house all the time. I was just sharing this with my sister and said "how sad it is that the children of today(including our own!) don't have those wonderful memories as very few families do things together anymore" My Daddy used to have a Ceile and Oldtime band in 40's 50's and 60's called "William or Billy Woods Ceili Band" I was very young and am not sure! Thank you again for bringing the past back to me. Yours Olivia Dooley Oh, thank you so much for the words to that song. My Daddy used to play it on the violin and also sing it my mam.

The amount of people with an O'.. name that don't follow these rules or even have a different way of spelling it EACH time! I hate it the most when they use the Back quote (O`Shea) key instead of the Apostrophe one (O'Shea)! http://url.ie/4wad I don’t have an O’… surname but this is something that annoys me!

There's no point helping out people who can't even vote for you. It encourages people to vote so I guess it makes sense!

]]> Comment on Pitcairn by Herbert Ford http://ambrand.com/2010/01/20/pitcairn/#comment-13826 Herbert Ford Wed, 20 Jan 2010 18:08:33 +0000 http://ambrand.com/2010/01/20/pitcairn/#comment-13826 While the appeal to Pitcairn independence in 2003 was arguably for the purpose you cite, independence (under favorable terms) has long been a desire of most of the Pitcairn people. For a couple of decades now Pitcairn has been represented at the United Nations' biennial seminars on decolonization of the 16 or so colonized territories of the world. I was privileged to attend two of these meetings - one in Majuro, The Marshalls; the other in Nadi, Fiji - as a resource person. The UN recommends independence of all these territories, and offers three tracks toward that objective. Pitcairn would greatly desire the one of these tracks that offers the greatest hope of economic viability. Right now the Pitcairners are back-and-forthing it with their British appointed governor (who sits in office some 3,500 miles from Pitcairn Island) relative to a Constitution, which the UK will hold up as a leap "toward" independence for the Pitcairners. In the end, though, what the Pitcairners want in that document and the governor does not will be what the governor wants. It will be the same old "same old" lack of independence as far as the Pitcairners are concerned, even though its publication will require formal "acceptance" by the Island Council. Though not the colonalism of the 19th century, what Pitcairn will get from the UK in the 21st century is far, far short of the independence they have long desired. - Herbert Ford, director, Pitcairn Islands Study Center, pitcairnstudycenter.org.

]]> Comment on Is securesuite.co.uk a phishing scam? by Steve http://ambrand.com/2006/09/06/is-securesuitecouk-a-phishing-scam/#comment-13821 Steve Tue, 19 Jan 2010 15:02:59 +0000 http://ambrand.com/2006/09/06/is-securesuitecouk-a-phishing-scam/#comment-13821 Reading the comments above (or some of them at least), it seems like this problem still hasn't been sorted out. I've just tried to purchase some groceries on the Tescos website and after I included my card details to pay for my items a second window appears asking me for further card details. I think it is best to ignore it and just close the window. I typed in www.securesuite.co.uk and it still appears as a blank page after two years now. Very strange.
