Boffins!
Set the controls for the heart of the sun!! Tractor on Mweenish Island, Co. Galway. Note the two speed settings - "F" and "S" - Fast and Superfast.
The Minister for Enterprise announced a new Science Council during the week. I imagined that this would be a bunch of chaps with unkempt hair in a windowless room spending their time poking dead things with sticks and blowing things up (though we have nearly enough of those guys already). Instead, he appointed pillars of the community. Bah! So no Dr. Strangelove (bang goes Ireland's chances of dominating the eugenics field in the future, then) or even someone like that crazy guy from Back to the Future(ditto our chances of dominating the time travel market, though as long as Dickie Rock is still singing, the past is never too far behind).
Let me be the first to deplore the Minister's action.
