Reasons to vote NO to lisbon treaty

thanks for the support...please check out the info ... this could well be the last vote we get!! All other EU countries have been denied a vote
on this ( since it would never pass!! ) sadly for them they couldnt get round the Irish constitution which assures us a vote
please watch this video... its all the stuff our government is not telling us about the lisbon treaty..u will understand
why.

END OF NATIONS...EU TAKEOVER & LISBON TREATY

Apr 23 2008 11:01 AM

Cheers! Yeah hopefully be playing live soon...it'll be fairly lo-fi live though. We have no bass player for a start.
Who needs 'em anyway?
my pilot





Apr 22 2008 2:32 PM

Hey there Holy Romans Army folk, hope all is well. We have a new song up, "Dogs" - a chilling tale of canine revenge. Unusually for a My Pilot song, it's quite upbeat and even features a discernible tune. Check it out if you have a spare 3 minutes 40 seconds.

Cheers!

Apr 20 2008 8:33 AM

like the songs looking forward to playing with you's on the 4th.

My flatmate (from carlow) told me an interesting story about Carlow a while ago.
Do you know the way Dublin is known as the pale, Meath - The Royals, Kerry - The Kingdom,

Carlow are known as the Scallion Eaters.

You learn something new everyday
