Lorrha Development /Tidy Towns.

In less than four weeks time judging in the National Tidy Towns takes place. From June 1st onwards the National Tidy Towns judges will be visiting towns and villages unannounced that have entered this competition. The hard work of so many volunteers and of our scheme workers will be examined and marked under ten different categories. Lorrha is usually visited around the middle of the month. We ask everyone to be extra vigilant where litter is concerned and please use bins provided in the village. Despite recent bad weather the committee continue their work especially in the new park which will be officially opened to the public on June 12th. Over the next couple of weeks the committee will be planting summer bedding plants around the village and will need extra willing helping hands. If you can help please call 086 8647166 or any committee member.

Smile Awhile.

The origin of God Damn it!

A 65 year old woman had a heart attack and was taken to the hospital.

While on the operating table she had a near death experience.. Seeing God
she asked "Is my time up?"

God said "No you have another 33 years 2 months and 8 days to live."

Upon recovery the woman decided to stay in the hospital and have a
face-lift liposuction breast implants and a tummy tuck.

She even had someone come in and change her hair color and brighten her
teeth! Since she had so much more time to live she figured she might as
Well make the most of it.

After her last operation she was released from the hospital. While
crossing the street on her way home she was killed by an ambulance.

Arriving in front of God she demanded "I thought you said I had
another 33 years? Why didn’t you pull me from out of the path of the
Ambulance?"

God replied: "Damn it!! I didn’t recognize you."
