New Site Design

April 26, 2007

This time the new site is for my own Web Design and SEO company. As usual I get caught up in one project and everything else gets abandoned for a while. Do I fall into the stereotype of men only being able to do one thing at a time? It certainly makes [...]

Stopping Smoking – Again – Three Hours

April 24, 2007

I can see that I might end up writing here a fair bit over the coming time if this keeps up.  Three hours without a cigarette, and it does annoy.  Went to the shop for some lunch – knew I had to get out of there quick, I could feel the frustration rise.
Stopping smoking should [...]

Stopping Smoking – Again – Day 1

April 24, 2007

Back here again. Oh, so bloody often. I have stopped smoking soooo many times – drives me mad. Why should it be so hard, I wonder… Do I love smoking so much? Pouring crap into my body on a regular basis, I do know that smoking is crap.
I remember having [...]

British Airways

April 23, 2007

This has been my best email for a while.
This scene took place on a BA flight between Johannesburg, South Africa and London, England. A white middle aged woman was seated next to a black man. Obviously disturbed by this, she called the stewardess.
“You obviously do not see it then?” she responded. “You placed me next [...]

Driving In Dublin

April 19, 2007

Two days this week I have had to drive what I consider fairly short distances. Out to rathcoole one day and the other out to Maynooth. The traffic, I can report, in Dublin does not get any better.
After moving back into the city, I have used the car considerably less, preferring to cycle [...]

Halfords, Liffey Valley, Dublin

April 17, 2007

God I get so pissed off at some shops when I feel like they are just trying to cheat me. Halfords in Liffey Valley Dublin are the one today – but this is not something that is just confined to them.
I go in and find what I want, wait in the queue to pay [...]

Friday 13th – A Problem?

April 13, 2007

According to the Stress Management Center about 17 million people are affected by the fear of today. Some won’t fly, do business, drive, and even some people will not get out of bed.
Fear of Friday 13th is called paraskavedekatriaphobia, quite a mouthful.
So where do this originate? There does not seem to be any [...]

Airlines – Liars or Just Good Business?

April 12, 2007

Are airlines telling us the whole truth – it does not seem so. A friend last night complained at the price of his ticket from Paris to Dublin. Aer Lingus advertise it at €10 each way – so one would assume €20. But no…
After taxes and charges the actual cost was €98 [...]

Cheap Hotel Ireland – No Such Thing

April 11, 2007

I work on the web, all day writing and building web sites. I see the adverts all the time for cheap hotels in Ireland or Dublin, and I laugh. There really is no such thing – the Celtic tiger is still alive and roaring.
I just spent the weekend in Donegal. Having never [...]

Why is it called Good Friday?

April 6, 2007

Yes, why is it called Good Friday. A question I posed to a friend last night. Given that jesus was killed on this day – why not Bad Friday?
So, I set out to get an answer.
From Wikipedia – “It is likely that the name “Good Friday” came from the earlier English name, “Godes [...]
