Mercer Human Resources firm released their survey that places Tokyo as the world's most expensive city. Dublin gets the rank of 21st, a massive jump from being placed at 73 in the space of a year!

Click on link and dwnld their pdf file that lists such. Thanks FF/PDs, we are all waiting for this trickle down effect, it would sure beat having four euro in change after paying the rent and getting the shopping.

Mind you, being poor can give one the incentive to try new things, like home brewing and setting up an illegal shebeen. That is, if you can manage to fit all three customers into your average Dublin beds*it. ... read full story / add a comment

Indications are that there will be a considerable change in the make up of the city council in Galway. Outgoing were 5 FF, 4 PD, 4 FG, 2 Lab.

Based on tallies, incoming looks like 3-4 Lab, 2 SF, 1 Green (maybe), 1 Ind, 2 FF, 3 PD, 2-3 FG.

Tokie Laotan (see earlier report on racist harassment of this candidate) polled a respectable 311 votes —about half of what is needed for a seat ... read full story / add a comment

Police repression of homeless people was evident on Belfast’s Botanic Avenue tonight, & if that wasn’t enough Food Not Bombs were assaulted for objecting. Not long after we set up our stall (around 7pm) 3 police officers began hassling a young man for begging outside Botanic Train Station (around 20 metres away from us). After about 15-20 minutes the police arrested this man dragging him to their van with excessive force. Several people from FNB approached the police & objected to the manner in which they were treating this man. ... read full story / add a comment

We were out in strength again today with our awareness activity only being kyboshed by
the 6.00 pm closing time of the Amnesty International shop in Middle Street where Jameen, ever overflowing with the milk of human kindness, allows us to store our gear. Can't understand the view of one of the commentators to DAYS 7& 6 that we/I am "toadying up" to American tourists, the reason why I keep mentioning the American, tourist or otherwise, reaction to our stall is that the anti-Bush feeling amongst the broad majority of them is strong and palpable, more so than any other 'non nationals' that we encounter and, as such, heartens me at least. your shite sounds like 'anti-americanism' to me 'Gaillimhed' , so, in future, keep a tight rein on your bollocks and sphincter and do us all a favour, ok ?. amen ... read full story / add a comment
