Parts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6. The next morning we headed down for a delicious buffet breakfast, which we ate to the sounds of Pavarotti on the stereo and F1 cars testing in the background – I’ve never seen George look so satisfied! We headed off to locate a self-service laundrette to wash [...]
Parts 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5. The next morning we were once again up bright and early to head back to the track. The party atmosphere was in full swing and the walk in was entertaining enough to keep us from thinking about the blisters on our feet. This time when we arrived at our stand [...]
Well Saturday night’s Random Drinks session (organised via Twitter and our blogs) turned out to be a roaring success, with 14 attendees (plus a couple of blow-ins from my IRL friends). As with any event that I’ve been to like this, it’s not easy walking into a large pub and trying to locate people that [...]
Parts 1, 2, 3 & 4. We arrived in Stezzano, a small village on the outskirts of Bergamo – this was to be our base for the Monza Grand Prix weekend. As usual for Grands Prix, accommodation close to the track is nearly impossible to come by, so we chose a hotel about 45 mins [...]
Parts 1, 2 & 3. From Amsterdam it was time to hit the road again, and head down through the Netherlands, Germany, Austria and finally into Italy where we would pause for another few days. We collected the car at Schiphol airport, loaded Wiesbaden into the GPS as our first destination and we were on [...]
 LOOK FOR THE YELLOW HELIUM BALLOONS TO FIND US TONIGHT. Just a quick reminder about the Random Drinks on Saturday this weekend. If you’re in Dublin and fancy joining us, then we’ll be in O’Neills pub on Suffolk St from 7:30pm. Map and current list of sign-ups on the original blog post. Update: The pub is a bit of [...]
It’s been a long time since I published any posts about our honeymoon last year. After the first couple of posts, which you can read here and here, the project took a different turn as I decided to turn the story into an illustrated book as a Christmas present for my hubbie. Using the software from [...]
Best video so far this year! Just got sent this via K8. Credit to Tim Hawkins
Spotted the photo below in a Spar shop window this morning, right beside the door. Which means that none of the staff on their way in spotted the glaring error (first thing that caught my attention). What annoys me here is that they managed to spell it correctly once and very badly the next time [...]
The Order of the Phoenix Park Twenty Major’s first book, based on the characters from his blog, pulls no punches from the first page. A twisted story about brainwashing the Irish populace into becoming acoustic loving drips, it’s up to Twenty, Jimmy the Bollix, Stinking Pete, Dirty Dave, Lucky Luciano and Ron the barman to save [...]
Sabrina gave a great session at CreativeCamp Kilkenny last weekend on how to blog like a boy – or in other words how to make your blog look great and be user-friendly. Her slides are available here, with her talking points in the comments of each. One of the points that she raised was about blogrolls – [...]
LOOK FOR THE YELLOW HELIUM BALLOONS TO FIND US TONIGHT! Update: The pub is a bit of a maze, so Laura & I are planning on getting there early to stake a claim to an area/tables. I’ll twitter our location once we get settled, so make sure you have twitter updates turned on! If you want [...]

Several days after the blog awards and they are still appearing everywhere! If you were at the Irish Blog Awards and wondered where these came from or what they meant, then [...]
Have you been asked the question “What is Twitter?” or “Why would I join Twitter?” Several people have said it to me, including grannymar. So here’s your answer in a nice video format – Twitter in Plain English:
Just read an interesting article on Wired.com. Apparently one of Hillary Clinton’s latest campaign ads uses a clip of Barack Obama that has been darkened to make his skin look blacker. Check it out for yourself in the videos below: Campaign Ad TV Debate Wired even took a screenshot from each vid and placed them side by side to [...]
