Blame the chef's special....

You know how it is when you give up the ciggies - there's that temptation to console yourself with a bout of comfort eating. Well, nearly a year after the smoking ban was introduced, Galway's sewage system is full. The Galway Advertiser reports that there is almost no more capacity on Mutton Island, the city's state of the art recycling plant behind the Claddagh.

There are a few options, though none of them sound too likely:- go back to the old 'method' of just pumping raw sewage into the bay (the EU mightn't be too happy about that), stop building more houses in the city (two chances of that happening) or start building an extension to the existing facility (if it takes as long as the original, there'll be a big demand for chamberpots long before it's finished).

Now if only everyone had stuck to their New Year's Resolution diets...
