Cuch - Are you back from the dead?  I hope my eyes aren't deceiving me!  

I've had the opportunity to travel around the Lu'thian Lough you showed in a previous post.  Very nice area!  I'll be in Béal Feirste at the start of September, was planning to stop by on the way back to Dubs.
Drop into PJ O'Hare's in Carlingford for Carlingford oysters + Guinness.

Schroedinger buildiing renamed on the grounsd he was a paedofile

Now this

Trinity College 'denames' Berkeley Library
https://www.rte.ie/news/regional/2023/0 ... -berkeley/
Trinity said Berkeley was a slaveowner and "sought to advance ideology in support of slavery".

Is nothing sacred? I wonder what @bearish and @Alan have to say?

I suppose the geometer George Salmon's statue is next. 

"Over My Dead Body"

George Salmon, the provost of Trinity College (1886 - 1904) is reported to have declared “Over my dead body will women enter this College”, only to die within days of the Kings Letters Patent to permit the admission of women being issued in January 1904.

yeah, it broke his heart.

As @ppauper might say "that is illegal"

Well, having gotten past the fact that he was a bishop, I can probably tolerate the slave ownership (which is not exactly new news), too.

yeah, one thing leads to another ..

More worrying , they have a James Ussher building, even tho'
" is most famous for his identification of the genuine letters of the church father, Ignatius of Antioch, and for his chronology that sought to establish the time and date of the creation as "the entrance of the night preceding the 23rd day of October... the year before Christ 4004"; that is, around 6 pm on 22 October 4004 BC, "

Was that Eastern time or Rocky Mountain time?

I spent years working at a oil major but never managed to unveil the truth about it, to be honest.
