I got this in an e-mail..... pass it on cos it's class

Given Ireland's success at rigging internet votes, we could help
our tourism trade by fixing it for us to get listed as a new 7th wonder
of the world.

This website offers you the opportunity to participate
in the first internet vote to elect the New 7 Wonders of the World
The candidates already include Petra, Machu Picchu, and the Eiffel
Tower. Sadly, Ireland doesn't get a look in. But visitors to the
sitecan send in their suggestions.

If we can get the BBC to name 'A
Nation Once Again' as the worlds' greatest song, then surely we can
get 'the Spike' listed as one of the 7 wonders of the world too!
so go to the following link :
http://www.new7wonders.com/suggest_nominee.php
enter your details amd place the following text in the suggestion box
: The Millennium Spire, Dublin, Ireland


and off we go again..............................

And you know why the reason they put down was to make A Nation Once Again the number one song of all time... '800 years of oppression'...

Where is that thing Pablo. Did you just find a random picture.
A cork one would be good alright. (i actually don't like that spire at all so i don't know why i voted for it.)

How about the courthouse scaffolding... it's been there a good ten years now.

No , that is really in UCC (http://www.ucc.ie/). That cone is over by the food science building, Block A. If you are looking from college road where the entrance to the food science building is , near the telephone box and the Bonds Hospital , you'll see it , its kinda down in a bit of a hole mind you . And as you can see it does look cool .

also there should be more than 7 wonders .... why seven ? actually the way that they are picked are a wonder its self.

BUt if you did Ber my darling you'd die of unknown metal poisoning. And then Caen would steal all your songs and make ringtones of them and say 'im in a band that sings this'. It would be total anarchy!!!
