DISQUS

A 4x4 in Ireland? Really - what for?

Also - best to get an AWD in Ireland - an AWD will do better than a 4x4 - I think all Subarus are AWDs so shouldn't be a problem - I was looking at getting one here (an Impreza Wagon or an Outback) for going to the ski resorts and hiking trails up high in the mountains (lots of ice/snow on the roads and lots (and LOTS) of offroad) but people in work told me that a nomal car with suffice for 90% of the stuff - only need an AWD for snow/ice above 5000 feet they tell me - I still bought snow chains ;-)

It could be that I have this confused with some other feature of IE. Anyway, from what I can remember about a post I read on this it is because that feature is actually patented by someone and MS is not willing to take the risk that they will be sued to high heavens for putting patented stuff on 300,000,000+ machines. I guess the Eolas thing is still reverberating around in MS.

However, maybe I'm not remembering correctly and it had nothing to do with this.

Don't be silly... this time next week you'll be flat on your ass in the Austrian mountains!

Fall in the door last night?

Hey P,

It's not an Irish thing. Normally in Ireland you would have a LARGE supper... a very large supper. As you know, I am a not much of an eater... hmmm, I'll rephrase that... I don't eat a lot of different types of things... I have hence gotten used to small/non-existent suppers.

Ulla, being German, is the traditional European supper you are used to since living with us. If you want a normal Irish supper you'll have to go home to my house in Slieverue… a few of those and you'll be wishing you never met my mother.
