Tuesday, September 2, 2008 Too often I intend to write something on here, but settle for a 140 character light version instead. I’m a few days late in thanking Anton Mannering and everyone involved in organising Techludd Cork. It was a very nice event in the Cork Airport Hotel – some mini reviews here by Robin, Damien, and Donncha. [...]

I’ve been watching the Sopranos from start to finish since I got some boxed sets last Christmas. Lots to say about them, but I’ll keep it short for now. Currently, I’m on season 4, and just watched this episode, “Watching Too Much Television”, where Tony and Ralphie devise a “HUD” scam (Housing and Urban Development). [...]

Wednesday, February 13, 2008 I’m posting on behalf of someone who has lost their dog in the Knockraha area (near Glanmire in Cork). The dog went missing two days ago, a quiet male dog, part spaniel, pictured here: Please send me an email if you know of anything.

It has been over a year since thousands of French tourists caused havoc on our roads as they emerged like lemmings from Cork airport in their rental cars, driving on the wrong side of the road. As they spilled precariously onto the Kinsale Road dual carriagway, hurtling towards the oncoming traffic (which was already agitated [...]

Any Cork people who were confused last year by the city’s official decrease in population will not be surprised by the fact that three of the “new major towns” are within 25mins drive from Cork City. By now, most [...]

And yes I do understand how unlikely the Cork double would be, since it will surely be third time lucky for Kerry, right? Just back from a drizzly Páirc an Chrócaigh where Cork defeated Waterford in a very close game. Hogan stand has a report here which agrees with Aertel’s score of 1-16 to 1-15… [...]
Wednesday, August 2, 2006 Cork City FC were knocked out of the Champions League this evening after a heavy 3-0 loss at the hands of Red Star Belgrade / Crvena Zvezda. The gulf between the sides was evident for the 90 minutes, and despite a shaky defence, Red Star were rarely threatened. The Serbians will now go on to [...]
Cork City 1 – 1 Apollon Limassol (2-1 agg) Cork City drew with the Cypriot champions tonight in Nicosia, and thus they advance to the next qualifying round of the Champions League. For long spells Apollon were a handful, with their star player – the Polish international Łukasz Sosin – looking particularly dangerous. It was [...]

Job done in Turner’s Cross this evening as Cork City drove the Cypriot team Apollon Limassol to their first defeat since May 2005 in this Champions League first round qualifier. I was shocked by the poor quality of football from Apollon at times, but it took a nice goal in the second half by Billy [...]
