Well it had to happen at some stage and now it has. Starbucks the Seattle coffee company has already infested most of the world and now it looks set to take over the 32 counties. Finally, all Irish people can add a little more caffeine to their diets with a choice of every type of…
Well I abstained for a few days before posting this but what must be done and all that. Sunday saw the end of the latest “couldn’t be further from reality TV” show. You know the one, “I’m a Z-list celebrity, get me a new career”. This time around there was a collection of glamour models,…
Just announced last night that Sรฉamus Brennan has allocated Eur 8bn over the next 4 years to finish all Irish motorways and roads. Pardon me but isn’t our country supposed to be in crisis at the moment, hence our tax hikes, rough budgets and various other add-on charges inflicted on the public. I really think…
Well as usual there’s always a witty posting on The Reg about something relatively current. This time it’s a take on the outsourcing of jobs (particularly in call centres) to India. Humourous to the last and a very clever anicdote to compare the situation to. source: The Register

Well I said yesterday that I wanted to hear more about the mikerowesoft.com story and indeed there is an update and no less than the MSN site is running the story. Seemingly MS have said that they may have been somewhat harsh in dealing with Mike Rowe and they now promise to treat the young…
Yesterday I returned home from work only to lift from my letter box what I assumed to be junk mail. Indeed I wasn’t too far from the truth. It was a flyer from the local corporation informing me about the new refuse charges to be employed in the city. For the last couple of years…
Well the men from MS are at it again, this time they appear to be taking action against a 17 year old Canadian whose personal domain name may be causing them problems. The young Canadian is Mike Rowe and his domain is MikeRoweSoft.com I kid you not. Anyway read the story from the source as…
I have noticed this little idea on Rob O’Connor’s Weblog for a while now and I think it’s pretty neat. He’s got a little image of the book that he’s currently reading and a link to where you can read a review or buy the book. The reason that I think it’s good is that…
