So soccer night was tonight and we managed to grind out a rare win.



Ireland, Imagine!

A really good photography blog by Oisin Prendiville is http://www.day516.com/. For sheer perseverance alone you should visit it.

It looks like I am the 136th Irish person on twitter.

Here is a csv file with the first 1000 Irish people to join twitter.

If you take out all the Northern Irish people I might even be in the top 100.

Maybe “take out” is the wrong phrase to use there.

Happy New Year!

I came across a fantastic photo-story site today called Pictory. Definitely worth checking out.

We were lucky enough to have a White Christmas in Leitrim this year.

In your face Bing Crosbie!

It’s the time of year again when smokers try to quit.

It is one of the hardest things anyone can do; I know, I quit 7 years ago.

In the past I had tried everything: willpower (ha ha), nicotine patches, nicotine gum, old wives tales. In the end, once I found the right method, it was easy. The method I used was Allen Carr’s Easyway to Stop Smoking.

It is probably the most boring book I have ever read, but you have to read it to the end in a short space of time. It took me 2 weeks to read through it.

I know of other people who swear by gum and patches, but they don’t really make any sense to me. If you are trying to give up an addictive drug i.e. nicotine, taking nicotine using a different delivery mechanism is not going to help.

After reading Allen Carr’s Easyway to Stop Smoking, even picking up a box of cigarettes felt weird.

If you do decide to quit smoking in the New Year, I wish you the best of luck. Quitting smoking is one of the hardest and most worthwhile things you can ever do.

Carlsberg – The Secret

A fantastic new add by Carlsberg, probably the best ad in the world.
