As I am not registered with Irish Water they won’t entertain my query so was hoping you could ask your readers.
We had the water meters installed in our area about 1.5 years ago now and it appears Irish Water are back digging up the entire estate (and beyond) over the last couple of months, AGAIN where the original meters were. Has anyone any idea why this might be? Above is the works going on today.
Also, it’s worth noting that they are doing this work under the guise of UPC, with signs (out of shot here) saying “UPC, bringing fibre to your area” with a subtle Sierra logo in the small print. I asked UPC and they denied any knowledge of works going on even though it blatantly has their name all over it. Shnaeky business indeed…
Anyone?

Brainy and purty?
Impossible.

If a female student had scored 9 A1s in the leaving and then be described as looking “more like a girlband star than the country’s brightest Leaving Certificate student” I imagine there would be uproar…
FIGHT!
Repeat.
FIGHT!

A rather spectacular 20 second exposure taken by Andrew Dros at Kootwijkerzand in the Netherlands last weekend.
Hoping to photograph images of the Perseid meteor shower, he set up a self portrait and accidentally caught the International Space Station as it passed across the backdrop of the Milky Way.
