Not being content with assuming that the world is fluent in pidgin English, she has kindly taken to sending her loan offers in Irish.

Iwona is Polish (according to her email) so it is with some surprise that I see her apparently fluent in Irish. Like the majority of the population of Ireland, I have fuck all Irish myself, so I am somewhat in the dark and might miss out on a gift-horse…

For the rest of you here is Iwonas kind offer:

In my INBOX from Silverarm Solutions on behalf of Falcon Travel:

Email from silverarm solutions and falcon travel

So not only are you niaive enough to think that spamming me will work, you are actually stupid enough to think I’ll click through to read more spam!?

Now I send email campaigns out and when I do I send them from my own domain. I don’t hide behind a .info domain in case someone blacklists me. However I am a tad more responsible than these stupid fuckers, so perhaps I shouldn’t comment.

By the way, check out what Silverarm Solutions are charging Falcon Travel for this “service”!!!

To Falcon Travel: If you would like to put a comment on this post and let us know what great deals you actually have we will give you the advertising for free. Just please don’t give my email address away to snake oil merchants!

The Holy Stump of Rathkeale

The Holy Stump of Rathkeale

Straight out of a Father Ted script, people in Rathkeale, Co. Limerick are now worshiping a tree stump.

According to a local interviewed on ‘Morning Ireland’ this morning, over 400 people spent up to 2am praying at the stump, which, according to local shopkeeper Séamus Hogan:

“shows a clear outline of Our Lady”.

He goes on to say

“…it’s bringing people together from young and old to black and white, Protestant and Catholic, to say a few prayers…”

Worshiping tree stumps…? Protestants praying at an apparition of the virgin Mary…? (Have I missed something or has Mary snuck into the Church of Ireland?)

Brian Cowan must be pretty pleased – this will at least distract people from the utter bollix his party has made of the country (at least in Rathkeale). They must be pissing themselves Europe!

The Mission of the project is to create a blended learning system, online and offline, with materials for learning and teaching in five languages (Turkish, Romanian, Bulgarian and Lithuanian) and a procedural methodology, which can be transferred to the learning and teaching of other languages, as well.

Ehhhh… that’s four languages…
