My obsessive nature has caused me much pain over the years whether it be ensuring that I walk on pavement cracks with both feet or that my beard is shaved evenly on both sides. One thing I obsess about frequently are drivers who have absolutely no regard for other people and no regard for the […]
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. […]
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 […]
Seeing as how I accidentally went all Kurt Cobain recently I thought I’d share a few thoughts about the great man himself. As was the case for many of us – well those of us lucky enough to be old/young enough to experience his music first hand – I first heard Kurt screaming his way […]
The radio is always good for a bit of entertainment. While I’m a big music fan, one look at my profile will indicate that few bands I like ever get played on it. So I really only listen to talk radio. In Dublin that means Newstalk 106. Fine station, it is. Sean Moncrieff is the […]
Disgust The hostility between football fans is something that a lot of people don’t understand. Outside of a few hundred diehard fans, there is little aggressive behaviour noticeable in the sparsely populated grounds of League of Ireland clubs. So it’s with, at best, puzzlement, at worst, disgust, that we read about the latest battle between […]

Wow, it’s been over a month! I guess I’m kinda sharing time between so many sodding things these days, there is just little time left over to make up semi-amusing rants about inane subjects. One thing that did jump to mind today was the biological clock. I was descending the escalator at our local shopping […]
Straws He’s running out of straws for which to grasp, and running out of time to make things right. Brian Kerr’s tenure as Irish manager is on the verge of ending with a whimper, the natural conclusion to a series of disappointing qualifying results. Points dropped in two games against Israel and an essentially moribund […]
Although I generally avoid the news (I do ‘the ostrich’ on it), one could not help watching the amazing scenes from New Orleans. Founded in 1718, the world-famous city is now destroyed with thousands of its inhabitants dead and over a million homeless, victim of the Category 5 Hurricane Katrina. Opponents of the US Government/policies/people […]
