Christ almighty what a humongous beast! In Cuas an Bhodaigh, Co.Kerry yesterday they hauled a giant leatherback turtle out of the water after it became caught in nets. This reptile is truly a giant, it weighs well over 70 stone (445kg), is 7ft long and 6ft wide and is estimated to be up to 100 [...]

With all this talk of Big Brother and the Farm I started thinking, isn’t it about time we came up with a proper reality show, one which is fun to watch and actually benefits us all?

The trip across the Irish Sea was uneventful, and hardly worth mentioning. Leg 2: We arrived in Holyhead shortly before midnight, [...]

What do you do when you get writers block? Ya know those days when you just can’t think of anything good to write about?
