Slovak Orchestra
I was wandering on Grafton Street last week and came across some people playing on the street and as is my usual I stopped to listen for a whiel. They were good, so I found out that they are part of the Slovak Orchestra who are playing in the National Concert Hall on April [...]

Christ Church Evensong Dublin
It is because of this man that I have been to Christ Church evensong - twice! Now to many that may not be a surprise, but to those who know me and my dislike of religions, well that says it all…
I do have a laugh at this dislike sometimes. I own a website [...]

Some days I Hate Dublin
Just some days, not every day. But today is one of those days, I don’t see anything good about Dublin as I walk through. It started with my taxi this morning - he hates the government, many do right now as they watch the farce of honest Bertie.

Hibernian Orchestra in Christchurch
We are going to see the Hibernian Orchestra in Christchurch, Dublin on the 8th March. I hope it is good. I have been fairly disappointed recently with the quality of some of the arty stuff I have seen in Dublin recently. Two recent visits to the theater left me thinking I will [...]

Marks & Spencer Dublin
Marks & Spencer Dublin is not for me. It used to be, so what the hell has happened?
I wonder if it is me or the fault of Marks & Spencer. I buy some stuff from there - formal stuff really all their casual stuff now seems to be made for someone in their [...]

Ikea Dublin
Ikea Dublin – afraid not folks, for a change our friends north of that line called a boarder get the chance first for something new.
Don’t blame Ikea – blame the draconian protectionist laws here in the South of Ireland. Not being a native of these shores I quite happily point out its faults [...]
