Everyone should deal with the religion question at some point

I have lived in a house where the appropriate response to misplacing something is to say a prayer to St Jude, where everyone but everyone puts part of their wages in the Share envelope, where when you cursed as a child you were reminded that Holy God…..and not Santa :p, was watching to see if [...]

Buona Sera, Milano…

In reality, I’d probably make a useless restaurant reviewer. For starters I don’t drink wine so all of my reviews would be devoid of the words “full bodied”, “interesting”, “fruity yet playful” and other terms that should actually just be used to describe Page 3 girls. At a push, the best I could manage would [...]

My first Meme

I have been tagged in a meme by Darragh and Gav.
I would guess that a lot of my blog readership still comes from people I know indulging in a little curiosity in the style of ‘what the hell could that girl possibly be up to now?’ – so here’s a brief meme-splanation for [...]

Quizzes on d’telly

It’s not often you hear people refer to RTÉ in positive terms, but hindsight would seem to suggest that they did have it going on back in the day. There was purely madcap programming and I loved it.
Bosco was based entirely on the premise that there could be nothing more entertaining to children than a [...]

Burlo can you go?

It’s pretty much fair enough for an eaterie to serve tap water (even if you don’t expect it in the Burlington) but they should think twice if it’s basically mingin’. This stuff was basically what you would be left with it if you took Johnny Vegas’s sweaty shirt after a live show and squeezed said [...]
