New Year 2008

Yet again - a new year has crept up on us. The christmas and New Year period was tough on the auld liver but a lot of fun was had especially the 28th in Leopardstown for Frank’s birthday and the afters of that day which will go down in history with the tags “hilarious”,”drunk” and […]

Guinness Jazz Weekender

Last weekend I went to Cork for the Guiness Jazz festival. I’m not really into Jazz at all but I had been told that it is a good weekend regardless. I went down on Saturday afternoon by train - (first time in first class which I reckon is well worth it). Saturday night was spent […]

Thursday night Karting

Myself and the Prague team went Karting last night and then out for dinner and drinks. It was a great night - So far, Prague is awesome and the I’m afraid to say that the rumours are true - the ladies here are strikingly hot.

Norway July 2007 photos up

What in the name of all things XML have I been up to. Well as y’all have probably gathered, I’ve been relatively offline, what with my new job. Trying to get settled in Ireland, trying to sell my house in Wales and generally trying to get my shit together.
I’ve been going to the gym alot […]

Spontaneity re- Edinburgh

I arrived home to Dooley telling me about the New Zealand v Scotland match in the world cup in rugby which was on in Edinburgh in September. 30 minutes later myself, Dooley, my brother and Conor had tickets, flights and accomadation booked.
Now that’s what I call decisiveness. It’s sounding like it’ll be an awesome weekend. […]

Airport observations and a tonka truck of a hangover

Leaving twelfth lock
chatting to conor on train
going into odeon
Dancing by the table
Dancing my ass off on the […]
