Would you believe with all this talk over the years and especially in recent times about the Greenhouse effect, climate change, melting ice caps and all that stuff I have never given it even a minutes thought. “After all who will suffer?” thought I (note: that thought only took 4 seconds), “a few fucking polar [...]

One of my childhood heroes the great Evel Knievel has sadly died after a long illness! He escaped death on countless occasions during his life time of daredevil stunt riding but couldn’t dodge this one. I think I still have my Evel Knievel motor bike set in the attic at home. Evel in action:

I’m a bit peeved off with the Sligo Cunty Council at the moment. Herself, the better half, got a fine for littering … 150 spondulics. Let me be clear, we’re not the type of people to be throwing rubbish anywhere. We pay over €12 each week to have our rubbish carted away. With the absence [...]

I missed the Blog Awards recently, it crept up on me during a busy period and I was really [...]

I think i found my new toy … the Skype DUALphone 3088 … it’s not cheap, €139 (€153,05 inc. shipping), but at the rate herself is making calls back to Finland I’ll make that back in a matter of weeks. Anyone out there have this particular piece of wizardry?
