| I thought posters would appreciate this.  I went for a walk today in the hills near my house and came across the wonderful piece of innovation. The aerials are wireless broadband aerials, which appear to be cabled up to a clapped our Ford Fiesta. I'm not sure what purpose the Fiesta is serving (power? weather proofing? firewall?) but I thought it was interesting to say the least. Fair play to whatever company set it up - necessity is the mother of invention - but I can't imagine its an image the IDA would be too keen to promote! |

| Patently, it's a bijou internet café. It's a rapidly-growing niche market! |

| It looks like something out of Mad Max II. Next time bring your laptop - put linux on it if you haven't it already and it will pick up a wifi signal surely to god... |

My internet access at home is wireless from one of the local mom & pop providers. For all I know, this post could have made its way through that Fiesta. |

With a Section 23 grant, it could be your ideal holiday get-away! My local estate agent would describe this as: "idyllic retreat equipped state of the art technology and highspeed broadband access. Some renovation required. Offers in excess of €350,000." |

"idyllic retreat equipped state of the art technology and highspeed broadband access. Some renovation required. Offers in excess of €350,000." Also, with F.P.P for a marvellous extension, extensive gardens. Ideal for an imaginative buyer. Free cow for first five viewers. |

| It looks like it might be eligible for Protected Structure conservation grants for its dry stone wall housing, too.  |

Why do you think its a border county? I genuinely can't tell you. It would be a source of embarrassment to the local hoi polloi. |

https://i.servimg.com/u/f46/12/36/59/17/dsc00210.jpg Well I took this photo off for forensic analysis and blew it up four or five hundred times so I would be able to read the tax/nct disc - here's what I came up with:   If you had a 3 megapixel camera at least then I might have a chance |

| Sad that Ireland has to rely on such solutions for broadband. Every
time I see that vile Mary O'Rourke on television, I remember the
Eircom flotation and her part in it. FF sold critical communications
infrastructure. That makes them traitors in my opinion.
