Clashes in Dublin over loyalist march – burning cars, missiles thrown, vandalism and looting. Yesterday a group of Unionists/Loyalists marched through Dublin in memory of all the victims of Republican violence. The Government hoped it would happen peacefully but I don’t think anyone really believed that. I’m glad the Unionists didn’t march through Cork, it [...]
This music video for the Fat Boy Slim cover of “The Joker” is brilliant! Featuring kittens, kittens and more kittens! So, so cute! (via Cute Overload!)
Holy crap, this guy is a lunatic! Driving at up to 290kmh and a little above sometimes, Ghostrider drove the 68km between Stockholm and Uppsala in less than 16 minutes. In another video he chased a BMW Z3 and both drivers drove like maniacs on public roads. Did you see how the motorcyclist cut in [...]
I used to work at a company providing financial data nd services online. When a potential customer wanted to register they had to go through about 6 pages before they were a member of the site. Unfortunately we were constrained by outside forces but having to go through Terms and Conditions, personal details forms, choosing [...]
I just voted. I didn’t vote in all the categories because there’s only so much time in the day, but I did look through the blogs and posts of the sections I voted on. There’s some really great blogging talent in this small little country of ours! If you’re curious, I didn’t vote for myself [...]
I rarely see the Late Late Show, but happened to catch part of the interview with Toireasa Ni Fhearaoisa, the Sinn Fein Mayor of Kerry. She made headlines, not for what she said, but unfortunately for what she wore! I heard a comment later from her or someone else that if a male politician’s fly [...]
I just watched the first episode of the new series of Lost. Wow, very gripping, creepy and chilling. That scene with the young boy and whispers in the dark made my skin crawl! Yes, I’m a week late, I had it recorded on the ol’ Sky+ and watched it tonight. The next episode is on [...]
It would appear that Meteor have adding a surcharge for downloading ringtones off their website. Even downloading a special “free” ringtone priced at €0.00 attracted a delivery charge of €3.39. Who downloads ringtones? Kids and teenagers mostly, but of course the parents pick up the tab. Don’t get smug if you’re an O2 customer, they [...]
Every time I go out on the roads I play Russian Roulette. Why is it that huge container trucks keep pace with me on the national routes at 100km/h? Aren’t they supposed to be speed limited to 80km/h? Why is it that on the 50km/h stretch of road into Blackpool I’m routinely overtaken by motorists [...]
This morning, like a lot of people, I heard that an Iranian newspaper is looking for cartoons about the Holocaust. Reaction from Israel was expected, but where are the riots and demonstrations in Europe? Maybe later when people have had their breakfast. Haven’t seen the comics yet? face of muhammed has ‘em and a quick [...]
