Of course you don’t. It never was. “Walk here … do this … take that off … you haven’t folded your ticket right.” Being treated like a child is not something we aspire to as adults so why airline staff think we’d embrace it is beyond me. But things took a turn for the worst […]
I have never written anything personal and introspective on here before so make the most of it. I think life becomes more of a mystery to me the older I get. I turn 33 in three weeks and since I’m no closer to finding a purpose I’m starting to wonder if in fact there is […]
Huey Lewis said it best: “Good morning little schoolgirl/Can I come home with you?” No, sorry. That’s something else entirely. Coincidentally it’s a Huey Lewis lyric too. No, what i meant was this: “Hip to be a square” When I was about 13 I actually thought he meant that it was quite trendy to be […]
Apologies non-football fans – it’s a football blog! False dawns at Tottenham are as common as the half time pastie.

Children, teachers and parents at Ballyowen Meadows School for autistic children in Beechpark, Stilllorgan, were left heartbroken last Tuesday morning when they discovered the aftermath of the mindless attack. It […]
Journalism really makes me laugh sometimes. Even though I study it in college I still scratch my head at the way it all works. We report facts – the news – and present a balanced view based on all sides of the story. This week a teenager was mauled by a tiger in Dublin Zoo. […]
Pearl Jam – Pearl Jam They are the best rock band in the world, period. That’s not even an opinion, it’s fact. How do I know it’s fact? Because I was visited by a mysterious shadow in the night and he carved it in my forehead. That’s foreHEAD. A bit of history on Pearl Jam […]
David Beckham. Lovely David Beckham. The tide has finally turned against Beckham as he slips off the radar as the darling of English footballer. After yet another poor performance in England’s defeat to Portugal today, Beckham has surely made his last World Cup appearance – he will be 35 by the time the next one […]
