Judge Mahon ruins the highlight of my week.

Tuesday, July 24th, 2007

So, the Teflon Taoiseach lives to bullshit another day. I was  really looking forward to seeing what kind of nonsense he'd come out with this time, but I guess his Ex-Girlfriend's nonsense will have to do instead.

Coming soon - UCD Business Park!

Tuesday, July 24th, 2007

I can see the estate agent ads now. Would you like access to world class facilities, only 2km from the city centre? Then UCD Business Park is for you! With all the usual amenities - Hotel, Cinema, Retail Outlets, this delightful development would ideally suit a medium to large technology based company ...

Transformers rocks

Monday, July 23rd, 2007

I was going to try think up a very philosophical name for this post, but this is simply the only way to describe the latest incarnation of the 80s classic. Michael Bay had big things expected of him. After all, this was Transformers, not sodding Armageddon. And I must say, ...

Rugby World Cup to be shown on TV3

Monday, July 23rd, 2007

So it's official, TV3 will be showing all of Ireland's games, as well as all the knock-out stages. Starting on September 7th, the biggest event in the Rugby Calendar seems to be New Zealand's to lose. Hopefully Ireland can cause a little upset, but it's probably nothing more than hope ...

Harry Potter and the Hogwarts LGBT Soc

Monday, July 23rd, 2007

Haha, priceless - Via Damien's Fluffy links, a tale that the Harry Potter is "thinly veiled homosexual propoganda". A different take compared to the recent barrage of media attention to be sure.

Pretty in pink

Sunday, July 22nd, 2007

Word from Vulture Towers, if you want to sell a product to the fairer sex, you have to do it in pink. I just can't wait until this product comes to Ireland. Hundreds of trainee guards and other country folk twitching on the ground outside Copper Face Jacks after trying to ...

Ross O’Carroll-Kelly & the Tribune go their separate ways..

Saturday, July 21st, 2007

So, it's confirmed, Paul Howard (Author of the Ross pieces) has left the Tribune. I was curious a few weeks ago, when the column disappeared from the paper. When the note at the top stating that "Ross is on leave" disappeared too, then I was really curious. Now the one thing ...

Paddy’s Day - It’s, eh, been moved?

Wednesday, July 18th, 2007

Right, so, eh, this is weird. Turns out that next year, March 17th will fall on the first day of Holy Week, so Rome has decreed that Official celebrations be moved. They had suggested that it be moved to April 1st, but the Irish Diocese (or whatever the term is), were ...

Lansdowne Road - The demolition continues

Wednesday, July 18th, 2007

This week the Lansdowne Road Stadium Development Company released a series of aerial shots of the ongoing demolition of the old stadium. It's interesting to see the ongoing progress, which I'm sure is obvious to anyone who lives/works in the Greater Ballsbridge area, but I don't, so these pictures ...
