Speculation is mounting as to why the Asgard II, Ireland's only sailing training Brigantine, sank in French waters this morning and why a salvage pump could not have been used to prevent her loss. She was travelling in the shallow waters of the French Bay of Biscay with 5 crew and 20 trainee sailors who paid between 500€ for youngsters to 600€ to take part in the trip. This fare covered their passage, vitals & in line with statutory requirements full training for ship abandonment which proved useful when skipper Colm Newport ordered her evacuation.

She had been due for maintenance in France on September 21 after taking part in this week's commemorative boat show for the 1798 French landing in Mayo. read full story / add a comment

At the elaborately staged 60th anniversary celebration of the establishment of the North Korean Stalinist State, the "Dear Leader", Kim Jong IL was conspicious by his absence.
It is believed that he may have suffered a stroke (Kim is alleged to enjoy cigars, booze and teenage girls while his devoted subjects make do eating grass). At the edge of 66, Kim, like 72 year old John McCain, is no spring chicken and the demise of his personal brand of socialism is sure to end relatively soon if the rumours of his ill-health are unfounded.

How ironic that the Irish Greyhound Derby final falls at the end of Gambling Awareness week,( this week).

How many Irish people realise that very young school-going children are freely allowed to bet their pocket money without any legislative protection at Ireland’s Greyhound tracks.

Yes, Irelands TOTE BETTING has no under age limit, leaving kids as young as 4 or 5 years old reaching over the counter at places like Shelbourne Park Greyhound Track to gamble their pocket money away.
