Went to Galway for the weekend. Did a thing. Met some mates. Drank some drink. Took a few photos with my phone. Should have taken more… ah well!


My hotel room door… classy joint!


I’m passing… where?


Saturday evening in Eyre Square

Oh, and a friend of mine took a photo of me wearing what I believe is a ‘ten gallon’ hat, which is here. Nice.


The things that nightmares are made of

May 7th, 2008

These are amazing

What were you scared of as a kid? What gave you nightmares? Jaws gave me nightmares when I saw it first on telly (I was about 6 or 7)… nightmares in which the massive shark would burst through my bedroom wall and try to get me. I was on the top bunk, so I was always just centimetres from his angry gaping maw, but it was bloody frightening…

So what was it for you?… Monsters under the bed? Something nasty sneaking up behind you? Dead people? Spiders? Wolves? Leitrim? It might be here!!! (well… not if it’s Leitrim…)

(Warning: Possibly not suitable for those of a ‘nervous disposition’).

This is my favourite:


Doesn’t it go by in a blink?

May 4th, 2008

Killing some time, wandering around the net… Figured out that some time in the middle of August (the 16th or 17th, I believe) this year, I will hit the magical number of 1 billion seconds of age. It’s all downhill from there, you know… (yeah…) Anyway… find out stuff about how old you are at DayOfBirth.co.uk.

While you’re at it, why not see if you share your birthday with anyone famous at FamousBirthdays.com. I share mine with Britney Spears, Nelly Furtado, Lucy Liu and Gianni Versace. Oh joy!

Time, as we all know, waits for no man, heals all wounds- and is not something anyone should waste… so go read a book or something… ‘cos just like time, great literature can be free too! You don’t even have to turn off your computer!

My day up north

May 3rd, 2008

Spent most of yesterday in Belfast as the guest of UTV. Went up there on the “Enterprise” train. Didn’t see the point in going “1st Plus” class but did anyway. Sure, I’m worth it… :) I was there representing the ShiteDrivers site as a contributing member of the audience of a pre-recorded episode of “Late & Live”. Didn’t get to say a whole lot but had fun all the same.

It was my first time in Belfast so I took a few photos. Couldn’t really take any in the actual TV studios, naturally… but around the city… sure!


Some shops near where I was waiting for a taxi. One of them sells your stuff on eBay - just like in the movies! Yes.


A street. In Belfast. Yesterday.
