Alex Bruce, son of Steve Bruce, who was selected by Northern Ireland last week for an under-21 match against Israel has now declared for the Rep.Ireland. Alex is entitled to play for either the Republic or Northern Ireland through his grandparents but chose Rep.Ireland purely because they are a better team. If that’s the only [...]
Sad to see Chris Penn has been found dead at his home in Santa Monica, he was only 40. Chris was the younger brother of Sean Penn and starred in a number of films including Reservoir Dogs, True Romance, Mulholland Falls, Rush Hour and many others. No news of the cause of death yet.
Jaypers, who’d have thunk it … whale vomit … $20 per gram … feckin hell. An Australian couple may net up to US$295,000 after finding sperm whale vomit on a South Australian beach! So next time you find waxy smelly rocks on the beach it might just be “floating gold” … then again it might [...]

Oh no, are they serious? Steve Staunton to be new manager of the Irish soccer team? Prepare for a few more years of shite results in Lansdowne Road.
I’m trying to get back into 3D modelling again, I totally suck at it so it can be hard to muster the motivation sometimes. Anywayz I started working on a gun recently, the model is about 90% complete, here is the first render, some fixes and fine tuning still needed, you can easily spot some [...]
I can’t believe my eyes. Co. Clare FF Councillor Flan Garvey has said that rural dwellers should be excused from drink driving because for many of them the pub is their only social outlet and since they live locally they will be more familiar with the roads and would drive more carefully. Is this lad [...]
