Correct cheese coverage formation.

August 13th, 2007 by Frank

Damien linked to a great cartoon about hugging, which led me on to another great one on the same site about Subway’s sandwich making:

    Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.
    And nice use of tesselate.

    My advice Frank is stay away from Subway. The rubbish they try to pass off as food there is neither satisfying nor nutritious. It’s a franchise operation and it’s sole function is to make profit-the food is secondary. A much better munch for roughly the same, if not less, money would be an Emmental and Honeybaked ham half- baguette sandwich garnished tastefully with lettuce, tomato, finely chopped red onions and all held together by rich dollops of Ballymaloe relish as had at that excellent sandwich and coffee place in the English Market. So stay away from the junk food kids! Demand fresh ingredients, higher quality produce and a greater choice when it comes to food. Remember, you are what you eat, so leave the junk food for the junk people! Zion!
    P.S. Any sign of Dave? If your around Dave, what do you make of the current state of the nation and Limerick’s unexpected victory over the great Satan on Sunday? As the song goes, there could be trouble ahead….

    I haven’t gone away you know Martin.
    I agree with you about Subway though. I’m not a GAA fan so I couldn’t really care less about Limerick beating the poor ole Deise.
    As for the abandonment of Limerick/Shannon and the whole west of Ireland by the real satan… thats another matter altogether!!!

    Hey Dave, want to go out tonight and torch a few franchise outlets? I have a few balaclavas I got from my friends in Passage and we can google how to make a petrol bomb for the technical lowdown. lets do this for Ireland. Seriously though, the country is going through a weird sort of pre-catastrophe phase-everyone knows there’s something not quite right but no-one lets on. Apparently the move to Belfast was sanctioned in advance by Bertie, hence the lack of reaction from him. The economy is looking dodgy too, what with the sub-prime melt-down and falling house prices. And all the time where’s the Taoiseach, the leader? On his summer holidays, grand isn’t it.

    I might give that a skip if you don’t mind… I know the blueshirts might have been a wild bunch but I’m really not sure my future potential voters would approve!

    As for the state of the nation with Bertie, Aer Lingus and the abandonment of the West… expect it to happen here to in some form or other and expect everyone to forgive and forget before the next election!

    Hurling is the best game in the world, and these guys are amateur athletes-way better than those overpaid diving ballerinas in the so-called beautiful game. Hurling rocks!

  8. Dave Says:
    August 13th, 2007 at 9:59 pm

    Agree with you for the most part on the beautiful game. I’ve nothing against the game of hurling. I just hate the GAA.
    I’ll be off answering Ireland’s Call now.

    International rugby is good too and I’ll be looking forward to the World Cup, but there’s something poetic about hurling that makes it so special. Lots of people dislike the GAA, but the GAA is the one national organisation that sets Ireland apart. Without Gaelic Games, and hurling in particular, Ireland would be a mere shoddy imitation of America/UK/Anglosphereland.

  10. Dave Says:
    August 13th, 2007 at 10:30 pm

    Perhaps there is enough in my dislike for the GAA and the pedestal upon which it is placed in Irish society to write a post all of its own… now there’s a thought.
    In short I disagree, I think it has held us back from what we might become and encourages small mindedness and parochialism.

  11. martin Says:
    August 13th, 2007 at 10:49 pm

    I disagree with your analysis Dave. I know you don’t find that many Voltaire spouting, multi-lingual, sensitive, an ecologically aware full-forwards in the local Junior B team, but that’s just the way people are. To dismiss the organisation as parochial is insulting to many, if not the majority, of Irish people and I would ask the deputy to withdraw his statement immediatley, a Cheann Comhairle

  12. Dave Says:
    August 14th, 2007 at 12:37 am

    It would be remiss of me to withdraw my remarks as my anti-GAA stand as it is well known and I’d definitely not like to be known as a flip flopper! So in the words of the leader and some of my blueshirt colleagues… I will not withdraw that remark!

    If I have offended anyone it is not for the sake of insult but from a deep sense of love for my country and a desire to see it be all it can be. If we spend all our efforts competing amongst ourselves then we are bound to slip behind the curve internationally… This was proven painfully against the Australians last year.

    Before you go giving me all the amateur rubbish, while most are unpaid as such, they spend the same amount of time training and because the standard of competition does not improve year on year we continue to get whipped but larger margins and more embarrassingly. A classic example is the dramatic improvement in Irish provincial rugby as a result of playing in the European cup or the recent improvement of the Welch and Scottish sides playing against the Irish provinces week on week in the Celtic league.

    What annoys really annoys me about this, by way of example, is that these very same GAA people refused to bring in a sin bin for a yellow card offence in case a player who deliberately fouls another (this is of course cheating) might miss a vital part of the game thus adversely affecting his teams ability to win the match.

    So in conclusion it’s ok to cheat to win but not ok to punish someone who cheats in case that punishment affects him winning… So basically it’s ok to cheat. Cheat away mad, because winning is all that matters. Does that type of thinking sound familiar?
    And then what happens when you go up against real tough guys? You get creamed.

    By contrast when you harness the full efforts of the whole island setting aside all differences, when you train hard, play hard and are truly professional… well then you beat the old enemy 43-13!!! And there is no need to cheat or be sectarian or small minded.

    I don’t know Dave, that hybrid game with the Australians isn’t really worth getting upset about and I don’t think you can judge the ethos of the GAA by it. Gaelic Games aren’t really international, so your mention of Ireland’s performances against the Australians is irrelevant. However, if you look back on this year’s hurling season you’ll see that the standard of play has been excellent, the games fair and sporting, and the entertainment value for the average punter has been unsurpassed.
    Ireland’s rugby win against England was excellent, emotional too, but game for game, I contend that hurling is a more exciting sporting spectacle-it is a faster, more flowing, more skillful game.
    And don’t forget where the rugby match took place Dave. In Croke Park, one of the best modern stadiums in Europe. Not bad for a backward, parochial organisation, eh Dave?

    I’m not trying to change your mind. You are entitled to your opinion but I think you missed my larger point.

    I will pick you up on one point, Croke park might be one of Europe’s newer and bigger stadiums but its is not a fantastic as the GAA would like us all to think and it was paid for one way or another by the tax payer by one of the largest professional organisations in the country. The players might not get paid but you can bet your house there is a massive professional body running the GAA.

  16. martin Says:
    August 14th, 2007 at 4:43 pm

    Like there’s a large professional body running the country?

  17. Dave Says:
    August 14th, 2007 at 6:24 pm

    No they (the GAA) don’t seem to have to worry about keeping anyone happy so they’re not like that particular professional body.

  18. martin Says:
    August 14th, 2007 at 7:17 pm

    But the GAA consistently keeps hundreds of thousands of people happy in this country Dave. Week in, week out, from parish (adj. parochial!) level right up to senior inter-county, the GAA gives immense pleasure to countless Irish people. Why do you find that so difficult to accept?

  19. Dave Says:
    August 14th, 2007 at 7:26 pm

    I don’t have any problem with that concept… cocaine also keeps lots of people happy, I don’t agree with cocaine use either.

  20. martin Says:
    August 14th, 2007 at 7:33 pm

    So now you’re comparing hurling and football to coke use? That’s a very different way of looking at things you have there Dave.

  21. Dave Says:
    August 14th, 2007 at 7:40 pm

    No thats not what I am saying at all and you know it!

    As I said earlier on martin I’m not trying to change your mind and I can assure you that you will not change mine.

    I honestly believe that the GAA is holding Irish sport back and at times because of the small minded nature of some of its members and supporters the country as a whole. In the similar way cocaine or drink or what ever might be enjoyed by people while holding them back in life… A loose connection but a simply analogy for a simple argument.

  22. Dave Says:
    August 14th, 2007 at 7:41 pm

    Incidentally my beef is with the GAA and not the games of hurling and football… even though football is a terrible game at this stage.

  23. martin Says:
    August 14th, 2007 at 7:54 pm

    Holding them back from what exactly?

  24. Dave Says:
    August 14th, 2007 at 7:59 pm

    That depends on who you are refering to? irelands top athlets or the country in general… I’m saving it for my book either way
