Before it becomes a distant memory thanks to Damien for getting the ball rolling for the meetup last night. I really enjoyed it and to whoever picked the venue — nice choice! It was quiet enough to be able to talk!
So when’s the next one?

When I heard about the fact that this guy was cleared of the pathetic charge* he had against him I planned on doing a post on it but on Boards.ie all my feelings were summed up in this post.
That sounds like an absolute miss-trial to me. Not only should it be the expected thing that […]

So I headed up yesterday morning to Galway to watch Connacht take on Munster in the Celtic League. It was my first trip to Galway in around 10 years and while the match was good I was less than impressed with Galway.
I’ve not been in Galway in years as I said so I didn’t really […]

Donncha made a post last night about a ‘competition’ that Today FM are having. The basic idea is a bit like the Day in the Life stuff on Flickr.
So you just take photos of your day tomorrow and send them to us [at] todayfm.ie
You can read more about it on the Today FM website […]

So despite starting work a few weeks ago I graduated on Friday. It was a good day out and we made sure to make it into a good night out on Friday night and after a bit of sleep we made sure to make a second day out of it yesterday. So now I’m trying […]

I remember when I was younger whenever someone we knew was going through Cork Airport we’d either go to meet them off the plane and bring them home or else they’d come to visit. This happened because our house is about five minutes from the airport. So I remember how you’d check Aertel to see […]

Well while in Hong Kong I bought a whole load of new electronics and stuff like that. I plan to review/write about some of the things I bought over the next few days but while I’m writing those posts I’m trying to shift my older stuff.
Since just before I went eBay Ireland launched I decided […]

Well my travels are finally over! After my last post from New Zealand I travelled on to Hong Kong and after that I paid a visit to Evie in Greece. Not satisfied with all that travel I went down to Kerry when I got back to Cork and visited my parents who holiday down there, […]
