Donald Trump
The Irish Times reports:
US billionaire Donald Trump is in dispute with a firm that is planning to erect a wind farm near his Doonbeg golf club on the Co Clare coast…The executive vice president at the Trump organisation, George Sorial, said yesterday: “We will examine the planning application in the next number of days and if we conclude that it jeopardises our investment at Doonbeg, we will do whatever is necessary to fight it and protect the beauty of our site.”
Right so.

The National Brown bread Making Competition sponsored by Aldi
Don’t be fooled by the smiles and pleasantries.
This is crumb-strewn domestic drama of the highest quality.
Joanne writes:
“Who says there isn’t pride in baking a brown bread…note the emotions of our 8 finalists who now head to the Aldi tent of the National Ploughing Championships [next month].
To celebrate we have a €100 voucher ( yes ONE HUNDRED EUROS) for Aldi (which you may spend on brown bread or other items at any Aldi store). Just complete this sentence. ‘Irish brown bread is special because_________'”
