History of Drinking in Ireland
Posted by: galwaytoday on: June 28, 2010
Note: Do not take it too seriously from me!
Irish people are unique in that they do not need alcohol to enjoy themselves. Although the Prohibition of Fun Act, 1972 (which includes the prohibition of alcohol) is still in force today, many feel that even without the law as it stands, no one would go near the drink. It all stems from an incident in 1971 (the likes of which the 1972 Act sought to prevent from ever happening again) when a man in west Cork had a few pints too many (3, or so the legend goes) and slurred his speech a little when phoning his wife to tell her he’d be home soon. This unprecedented incident rocked the whole country when it made the national press and caused urgent calls for law reform. Since then, there hasn’t been a single drop of alcohol consumed for fear of any repeat incidents.
All the unused alcohol is collected in an area south of Dublin, known as the pub.
Certificate of Irishness!!
Posted by: galwaytoday on: June 22, 2010
This Irish government has announced plans to introduce a certificate of Irish heritage for up to 70 million people of Irish descent around the world who do not qualify for citizenship.
The certificates will be issued by a third party agency acting under licence from the Department of Foreign Affairs, which is considering charging a fee for each document issued.
This is a priceless decision, I wonder if ppl will be buying this certificate, especially if its expensive, while they can get a “give away” 100% AUTHENTIC irish passport from the israeli embassy in dublin 
and then everybody is happy!

Galway’s Most Confusing Traffic Sign
Posted by: galwaytoday on: March 20, 2010
The creation of safe and legible road signs that make sense is an art, but this traffic guidepost below demonstrates that not all galway traffic engineers are smart!
The first pic shows a very small traffic speed sign, and it says: 50km/h in the widest street in galway! (even wider than M6!). the fun doesnt stop at the traffic speed limit, but exceeds to the small size of the sign in addition to the graphite painters who added “1″ prefix to 50 to make it look like the traffic speed limit is 150km/h!!
50km/h sign on the widest road in galway
Now, I understand that the traffic speed got reduced after a horrible accident happened and a lady got killed due to careless fast driving man. but still, it doesnt mean to use our emotions to decide what speed this road must be, and what proves my words is the second photo.
The below photo, shows how ridiculous our engineers are! they put 80km/h on a very narrow secondary road, while it barely can have a gap for a biker!.. so contradicting!
80km/h sign on a very narrow road
I have seen much worse than the above photos; some more narrow roads do have 100km/h sign, and some other signs are very confusing and contradicting.
No wonder why fatal accident happen in galway, and insurance is very expensive, in addition to the miserable quality of roads..
I think I can be a better traffic engineer with no fucking background about traffic engineering!

What color this traffic light is? shall I stop or drive? The cheapest option is the LED lights! you will be able to figure out the color from long distance and it doesnt fail and doesnt consume electrcity in addition to contribution to global warming!!!
Green or Red?!.. Must be Blue!

Radisson Blu Galway Doesnt Serve Lemon!
Posted by: galwaytoday on: March 17, 2010
Ask the Radisson SAS and their chef will say: use cucumber!!!!
Ask them again, what if you lose your customers, their answer will be: hire polish ladies!
Again, what if customers decide to park their cars themselves? their definite answer: charge for parking! The photo shows today’s lunch in the radisson sas (blu?!) hotel.. yeah I know; fair enough! where fair means here: fuck off!
Recession is doing its job perfectly in europe…
To the management: Lemon is yellow! not orange to hate, and prefer the green cucumber!
