Replacing stuff I love.
About 6 years ago I bought a Neil Pryde wetsuit. It was in the sale in Surf Dock, and it was end of line, heavily discounted. It was a Jenna de Rosnay endorsed suit, full windsurfing. I bought because at the time, I occasionally went windsurfing in Malahide and had gotten sick [...]

No, seriously.
Mr Kenny said: ‘Fine Gael is united and focused on the major challenge facing the party and the country.
‘That challenge is to replace this disastrous Government with a better alternative that will get our people back to work and our country back on track.
Dude, you have no idea. The challenge is [...]

Last night I went to the beach because it was windy and I figured I’d meet some friends. Which I did. Because I’m a kitepark bum who can at least launch and land kites, I tend to do that, since I’m not down there with my own (Dolly was busy and I am a nervous [...]

This lack of twitter means I’m getting great stuff done here.
Anyway I am sitting in a sunny kitchen which will not be mine for the rest of my life – I know this already – and am pondering ways to get what I want which is a nice house, with a decent kitchen from IKEA [...]

One of the things that has irritated me about the Irish property market is that there have been discussions on who could and who should be able to buy property to live in. It’s frustrating in a way because it implies some sort of a value judgment on how there are some people who deserve [...]

Twitter failwhale is on show this morning…it’s a bit annoying. I never knew I’d like that site and now it’s almost an essential part of my communications network. Given that I don’t really like FaceBook any more – that’s a bit unusual.
Anyway, via the badscience forum this morning, I discovered Horrible Histories. If you need [...]
