Of all the flags of countries in the world, only about 10 have no red or blue in them.
Rep of Ireland is one of them.

All but Bhutan have red, blue or green in them.

Mytaxi (formerly Halo) is having another name change, this time to Free Now.

“Is it actually free?”.......No
“Any taxi available now?”.....No

Strange name

Only 2 music videos have been made in the “Rocket Garden” at the Kennedy Space Centre in Florida.

One is “Walking on the Moon” by The Police.
The other is “Rhythm is a Dancer” by Snap.

Ryanair pilots are looking for 101% pay increase.
Pilot pay would go from €172,000 a year to €347,000 a year.
I’m sure not all the pilots are on €172,000 now but bloody hell......chocks away Ginger.

Where you getting those figures from?
It was far across the sea,
When the devil got a hold of me,
He wouldn't set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.

Over four times the money for a quarter the work? Not to mention dealing with the public...

Would never begrudge any bus driver/Luas etc etc regarding their salary. 

They have to deal with the general public and deserve every penny they get. 
Wings? They're only the band The Beatles could have been.

Going from memory after the most recent threat of strikes from LUAS drivers. Salaries of both Luas and bus drivers were discussed at length.
