YOU PROBABLY have a TV ad that you love to hate – so many, in fact, it might be impossible to choose just one.
So what about narrowing it down to ads to those ads for distinctly Irish products? We don’t really hate all the following ads… but we definitely know people who do. If you have a particular one to include, tell us about it in the comments section.

If it was down to me, harvest what you can & put the rest in a cloth sack, big party (black not permitted), then cremetation & disposal of ashes with a tree planting.
Ultimately though, Whatever brings peace to those left behind. Not going to make much difference to me.
That’s pretty much what I’d like…..not sure I’d count on the big party though,how crap if no one showed up hehehehe
I don’t want to die. Putting it off by mega loading vitamin c 1000mg per day.
I know it’s a joke, but that’s not a mega dose of vitamin C..
Humans, guinea pigs, primates and bats are the only mammals who do not produce their own vitamin C. The mammals that do, produce the equivalent of about 10g per day.
If you overdose on vitamin C it has a laxative effect, it’s called “bowel tolerance”. You get loose bowels, same way you do when you reach bowel tolerance of magnesium (hence why milk of magnesia does such a good job of cleaning you out). Anything up to bowel tolerance is considered healthy.
That can be anything from 1-10g per day, it all depends on your bowels.. The 60mg RDA is literally the amount you need to not get a deficiency, not the amount you need to detoxify homocysteine or histamine, or to have anti oxidant benefits.
No laxative effect if you spread out the dosage. I don’t take all at once. It’s water soluble impossible to over dose. The rda is a joke
Well, it is a water soluble vitamin..
Just hope your soluble is sweetener free and has citrus bioflavonoids or else it’s self defeating :)
Why?
Ascorbic acid is only a part of vitamin C. When you take ascorbic acid the body needs to find citrus bioflavonoids (like rutin and hespedrin) in order to be used effectively by the body. Otherwise it’s simply excreted, which can overload the kidneys.
The sweeteners, well.. Aspartame (aspartic acid and methanol), Sodium Saccharin (coal tar) and sucralose (glucose and chlorine) aren’t exactly the health foods they are made out to be..
try vitamin D…its been year since I’ve had a cold or flu……yes i’m going to live forever ;-))
I want to be buried at sea. Well my mother in law always said she’d tap dance on my grave!
I thought the Funeral was always secondary to the wake. Where everyone the deceased ever knew is crammed into a house with Mountains of Hang sangwidges and cups of tae.
I don’t want any ceremony. Morgue, crematorium, ashes scattered preferably near a racecourse. No ceremonies, no wake and definitely no religious nonsense of any type.
I was at a humanist funeral of a friend last year and I have to say it was perfect – a real reflection of who he was with no religious nonsense.
We need more competition between the funeral parlours. Prices of funerals so are exorbitant one might suspect a cartel arrangement
There is not much room left in Glassnevin and I hope to be buried there. What I wish writted on my gravestone is This is my new address NO BILLS.
Always the more green scenic option of the Dublin mountains on the cheap. http://www.UpsetIrelandGangland.com
No mention of donating your body to science in the article. TCD and The Royal College of Surgeons (possibly others) offer this option.
Or you can donate yourself to Gunther Van Haagens plastination institute!
I have filled out the forms to leave my body to the College of Surgeons, which is literally 50 paces from my front door, my kitchen window looks directly at the main entrance of the college on York Street. They wont even need to ring for an ambulance – someone can just run over and get a trolley, and I’ll be still warm when I get there :O)
Im a funeral clown. I make people happy at funerals. I havn’t done a funeral yet but I hope somebody would want me sometime:) http://www.facebook.com/deadhappyireland. “Like” and “Share” if you would like a Dead Happy Funeral:)
I think it depends on what way I go. If its sudden and unexpected you can’t control how people would feel. If I knew I was dying like a long term illness have a party celebrate my life go on the lash (again no black)
Smoking or non smoking,cremated or buried , I’d go for the ashes in space myself,
When Gene Roddenberry, creator of Star Trek died, he had his ashes launched into orbit aboard a Pegasus rocket. Perfectly poetic!
I heard someone talking about a “Sky Burial”, where you are basically left out for the animals to feed on, so that your death can contribute to the survival of a wild animal.. Although I’m sure you would need to be deemed safe for consumption!
What a depressing subject
have your say
