• The Chancer points us to the footage of a shell to sea protestor chatting to a suspicious man:
  
• At the last anonymous protest on Dublin 12th, there was one thing the protestors didn’t count on - an angry passer-by. “Yeah, we weren’t really prepared for that. We’re trying to formulate some kind of protocol in case that happens at the next protest.”
• Some new litter by laws being planned by Dublin City Council: The new by-laws would mean that pubs and takeaways would have to ensure a 50 metre area around their premises was kept free of litter and stains.
• Why it’s better to be a man than a woman @ boards.ie. Unfortunately, all the real burning questions have moved to The Ladies Lounge where they ask does size matter, deal with the issue of men staring at women’s chests, and more.

The Chinese Ambassador walked out of the convention in Dundalk when Mr Gormley condemned human rights abuses in Tibet and called on the Chinese Government to enter into dialogue with the spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama.

The web site is a fairly decent affair, complete with google mash-up which starts zoomed in on Ireland with some pointers showing impacts of climate change. (Mullingar will have an increase in insects apparently.) It’s not obvious, but zoom out to see the full global pointers to impact spots all over the world.

The whats being done at the national level section puts it fairly bluntly that we’re way off our international targets.

• Green Ink on Captain Super Gormley jumping on the Harney band wagon earlier. Quality. (But JG is still King super-amazing.)
• Is this teamwork in Ireland?
• And lo, on the 15th February 2008 did boards.ie user IRISHSPORTSGUY say “let’s count to a million!” At time of writing, they’re at 1947.
• Here’s a headline that has to be clicked: Limerick Blogger owner becomes millionaire. Damn Collison kids with their millions…
