Thank God for Cork Street

I was in Dublin today for another interview. My knees are still aching from the cramped train – up and down in one day is not a good idea, over six hours without a chance to stretch your legs cannot be good. Now I know how Roy Keane must feel… I would retire [...]

The Offaly Haircut Row

Thats what they’re calling it on RTE. I call it an absolute disgrace – the “Principal Should be Sacked Incident”. I noticed it on Michele Neylon’s newly revamped site earlier, so I watched out for it on the news. Donal also gives his views on how ridiculous this haircut rule is even [...]

You See What Happens, Larry??

“Do you see what happens, Larry? Do you see what happens when you fuck a stranger in the ass??”
I noticed this article today, about a guy who was arrested on Friday after setting fire to the wrong car.

The report states Clark said he started the blaze β€˜β€˜to pay him back for hitting me,’’ referring [...]

Seven feet tall he was

“His eyes were like steel; cold, hard. Had a shock of hair… red like the fires of Hell.”
Perhaps it was a very slow news day that prompted extensive coverage on an unusually large rabbit that is terrorising the countryside in Northumberland, England. Allegedly, sharpshooters have been hired to combat the threat to lettuces in [...]

The Church is Burning Down

Heres an exclusive via Steven in Skibbereen: some time in the next hour or so, the Church Restaurant will be a smouldering heap.
The Church attracted some interest when it opened a couple of years ago, by the well known owner of Currans on Adelaide Street in Cork. Currans is a restaurant with a twist, [...]

Super Mario Scare

Remember those golden boxes with question marks on them in Super Mario… the ones that you used to bump with your head in order to get a mushroom or a flower? Qwantz.com gives detailed instructions on how to make real life replicas of these boxes, in an effort to inspire art projects and “bring [...]
