time to embrace the inner Jerry

Comments Off Posted by on June 24, 2011

It all started with an innocent science story published in SPIEGEL, and then in English on SPIEGEL ONLINE . A genetic analysis revealed, of all things, that millions of Britons carry a Germanic gene. Britain, it would seem, is more German than many are comfortable with. The British press, perhaps predictably, went nuts. Hundreds of [...]

rearranging deck chairs on the titanic

Comments Off Posted by on November 20, 2010

I am not really going to write about the titanic or the movie of the same name. I just like the metaphor, the image and how it relates to our current economic woes. During the week a German friend said “Irishman pay your way” – I said “thanks for all the cash you gave us [...]

Primark fans started lining up in the heart of London’s West End at 2am yesterday. Some claimed they had been told the company was cutting prices to £1 per item for the opening day.

Yes, I do have a lot of issues with ROG but so do a lot of other people. Take the picture on the front page of The Irish Times last week of Ronan O’Gara with his hands in pockets meeting the Queen, while Brian O’Driscoll seemed to giggle with his hand over his mouth behind [...]

I am in London in an attempt to escape the Irish day of celebration. There was a guy at the next gate in Dublin airport getting on the plane to Switzerland. He was standing up watching the Man U game with 2KG’s of dairy milk chocolate in the back pocket of his jeans. He was [...]

the summer of rage

Comments Off Posted by on February 25, 2009

It was supposed to be the summer of Kevo! People in the UK are raging against a Government that spies on its citizens while ignoring the crimes of greedy bankers. The DNA database containing the samples of hundreds of thousands of entirely innocent people…the largest number of CCTV cameras in the world…anti-terrorist powers being deployed [...]

suspended in light

Comments Off Posted by on February 25, 2009

Some good news, my lights kept a dude in a silver golf well back from me in traffic. I then realised he had passed me out a few miles later on. The glare of sitting at the lights behind me while my foot was on the brakes was too much for him. The lights are [...]
