Aren’t the Chinese funny? I don’t know if you are aware of the Chinese practice of taking on odd ‘western’ names when dealing with foreigners. You see, names like Xiao-Xou are awkward to pronounce for us, and perhaps because of this (or perhaps because they just want to be cool) Chinese people choose alternative names [...]
I’m not a big gamer but there are a few games on different platforms I like. Call of Duty on PC is one, what better way to de-stress after work that kill a pile of Nazis as you storm Berlin. Another favourite of mine is the outstanding and MASSIVE Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas on [...]
Back online again after my trip home. I absolutely gorged myself on all those foods which i’ve missed in the past year (taytos, sausages and all the rest) and importantly I now have a good stock of tea bags to keep me going for another while, although I may be calling on Gerry O’Sullivan to [...]

Should underwear be a basic human right? How about razor blades? Twenty seems to think so. Maybe it’s time to take to the streets and demand change!
More toast up for auction on e-Bay, this time with Michael Jacksons whiteish mug on it. Apparantly the slices are not fake … they popped out of their toasters before or during the verdicts :rolleyes: Whoever buys these are about as dumb as the gobshite who bought the Virgin Mary toast for a staggering $28,000 [...]
The sad story of a Congolese child, how she has tried to make a life for herself despite losing her parents, living rough & working for food, and watching her sister die on the streets of Kinshasa. Just one of a million tragic stories in Africa. Makes ya think doesn’t it?
Some masked gunmen stormed a school today holding the young kids as hostage. Initially there were about 70 kids, aged 2-6 but the gunmen later released 30. They were demanding money, weapons and transport and when they didn’t get all that they wanted they shot one of the kids and threatened to shoot the other [...]
