After yesterday’s poll results were announced, with respect to the opinion of voters on the Lisbon Treaty, the “no” vote has almost doubled since the last opinion poll. Am I surprised? Well frankly no, I’m not. It’s like I have said to many people on numerous occasions in the past. Those swinging towards a “no”…

Appearing in today’s Times’ letters page: “Madam, – My home has so far received the emergency planning booklet four times. Is the Government trying to tell Ballsbridge residents something? – Yours, etc,” Well, yes, I guess that the government is trying to tell us all something.

Much like Paul and Shane, I have a hard time resisting these little “what xyz are you” tests. Today’s offering is “What Superhero are you?”. I seem to lean towards a majority Spiderman/Flash, no doubt because I failed to say that I hate redheads which invariably means that I am somehow enthralled by Mary Jane…

I had wondered for the last few days where my daily dosage of Dilbert in my Google Reader had gone to. Today I see an update on the old feed to alert me to a new feed URL (http://feeds.feedburner.com/DilbertDailyStrip). So I’m back in Dilbert land again. In addition to the new URL all the comic…

A couple of years ago I was talking to some friends about the political climate. In terms of party politics, the PDs had been decimated, Fianna Fáil had seized the country’s minds through no fault of their own but rather a global boom period of 10 years, Fine Gael were suffering because of the digs…
