I received my first airsoft electric gun today. I went cheap for the first one to test it out so I got a Jing Gong (a Chinese good quality clone) Heckler & Koch G36C. I also got a reflect red dot sight and a USMC type single point bunch sling. First pictures below: I’ve only [...]
The use of mobiles on planes flying in European airspace has been given approval by UK regulator Ofcom Which means that UK-registered aircraft will in future offer mobile services; which in turn means that eventually such services will be rolled out across Europe. Don’t know about you but I’ve always found travelling stressful enough, especially [...]
Via Ocean FM, a proposed revamp of the Gaeltacht could see a number of towns losing their Gaeltacht status: Towns such as Dungloe and Burtonport in Donegal, Dingle, Belmullet in Co.Mayo and parts of Galway city would lose their Gaeltacht status if the linguisitic criteria was implemented. I’m sure many people will object to this, [...]
The Defence Forces’ biggest logistics operation ever moved on to the next phase as a cargo ship left Dublin port today stuffed to the gills with equipment for the 372 men and women of the 97th Inf Batt and the 50 ARW personnel who have been in Chad since last month (the ARW obviously brought [...]
Police in Italy have issued footage of a man who is suspected of hypnotising supermarket checkout staff to hand over money from their cash registers. It probably seemed like a deadly idea at the time. Remember, with great power comes great chances to rip people off … or something like that.
Via RTÉ news … US Democrat Hillary Clinton has admitted being wrong in her claim that a hail of sniper fire ambushed her arrival on a 1990s trip to Bosnia.

Just spotted via Technorati’s ‘blog reactions’, it seems that one of my posts has caught the attention, not in a good way, of some blogger by the name of Felix Quigley. You’ll know by now, if you have been with me here for a while, that I’ve always supported our Defence Forces especially in the [...]
I never thought that I would see the day that I’d have ten thousand (10,000 – you read it right) spam mails in my spam box! But it’s happened. As of some time in the wee hours of this morning I broke through the 10,000 spam barrier. Now, this isn’t simply a case of me [...]
Lá Fhéile Padraig sona daoibh!! Happy St.Patricks Day to you all. Hope you’re getting the sunshine where ever you are; it’s been a nice bright day in the north west. Hope you got in to see your local parade; it’s important to get in and support your parade (as poor as some of them may [...]
Seriously, I couldn’t let a headline like that pass without posting it! Of course there was no WMD in Iraq, Chuck Norris was in Texas. Some other favourite Chuck facts shamelessly ripped from other sites: Chuck Norris doesn’t read books. He stares them down until he gets the information he wants. There is no theory [...]
