I'm a little surprised I haven't read this over at Waxing Cynical before today, but what I now intend to vent about is the TV phenomenon known as “World's {adjective}st {topic}” shows. Television Production to me seems like a sine wave of ever decreasing amplitude – as time goes by you get high points and…

Dublin update's in the pipeline, and has started, so when I get around to finishing it it'll appear in the list below this message. This weekend I don't remember doing a great deal really – it was meant to be a nice relaxing weekend at home, however I can't say that the relaxation component has…

There, OK ? I said it. I used that word. It's the Irish word for “having a good time”. Now without wanting to appear *too* cynical, I just want to make it fairly clear that an Irish good time isn't necessarily any better than a regular garden variety good time. Or maybe it is, and…

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh !? I'm SOOOOO over this moving thing. Thank god tomorrow's The Big Day, and that'll be the end of it. As someone who's a sworn ground-floor-liver, it seems somewhat silly of me to have signed a 12 month lease for a 4th floor flat. Ah well… thinking never was one of my strong points….

One of the coolest things about living in a place like this is the opportunities that turn up that you just wouldn't normally get. Thanks to some nifty spotting by Paul the Dodgy Neon Wombat, it seems that on the morning of my impending house move, I'm gonna be checking out This: What the hell…

…send a picture or two. So going by traditional rates of exchange, here's about 6000 words. Nottingham Castle, taken by me. The photo, not the castle.
