Some toilets have TWO buttons on the top for flushing. I’m not really sure which button is for which, but one is for #1 and #2. Some toilets also have a plunger type handle on the top that you pull up to flush. A little strange.

Treaty of Lisbon is coming up for ratification in Ireland. Will be interesting to watch. Lots of propaganda going on for that now.
