The power outage in Spain and Portugal wasn't caused by extreme weather, but by an over-reliance on wind and solar. If the UK continues on its headlong path to Net Zero, we can expect similar failures.

Dear Jim,

Please can you fix it for me to have a Pied Piper Parade in Belfast's Donnegal Place on 12th July each year.

Thanks.

the route will be Sackville St, Rutland Sq and then back to the site of the illegal and sectarian declaration of a Republican Home Rule Papist Fenian state (GPO) Dublin?

[O' Connell st-Parnell st.]
I wish I could be there.

The electronic stuff IS going ahead. The Pied Piper march thing has been postponed a couple of weeks (darn Witnness and drumming festivals in Drogheda). Anyone want to help out with organising this, there's contact details at http://www.ballroomofromance.com/gallerygigs

And a sign of the increased level of tolerance in the south that people can accept the expression of anothers culture and tradition, well done Dublin!
