Update: I’m pushing this back up to the top as I’m keen to get this sorted as soon as I can. My RBN filing was registered quicker than I had expected, so I’m pretty much ready to go, all I need is a suitable host. Below is a quick rant on what I’m looking for [...]
I was speaking with Damien about this a minute ago and figured there was no harm in putting the idea out there as a “lazy web” suggestion. We in Ireland are about to be bombarded with a near constant stream of party Ard Fheiseanna, as all parties try to turn heads and get noticed in [...]
The Guaridan are saying (free reg required) that Armando Iannucci will make another one hour special of The Thick Of It, due to air in the summer. I’m a huge fan of the show and loved the Christmas special shown in early January. I had been expecting a new, full season, however and am a [...]
“Sensationalism does not mean distorting the truth… It means the vivid and dramatic presentation of events so as to give them a forceful impact on the minds of the reader.

Whenever someone asks me about how I’m getting on in the Sunday Business Post, or how my attempts at sparking off some version of a career in general are progressing, I always say something like; “good. Things are certainly going better than I had hoped they would before I left college. I’m not at the [...]
The pace is really picking up for the Blog Awards – you can now make your nominations for the various categories here. The nominations will be made up into a longlist, which will then go to the public vote to decide on a shortlist. Those lucky enough to make it this far will become the [...]
Cian gave us a quick tour through the handful of blogs belonging to Irish journalists the other day; well worth a look if you’re interested (and it’s good to see the number rising, especially in recent weeks). Anyway – I noticed in one of my RSS feeds (and so did Cian) that Kathy Foley, formerly [...]
Damien (along with even the most hardened of Microsoft fanatics) has fallen in love with the newly announced iPhone and wants one now – well he’s certainly not alone on these shores. With the Apple Store down we’ve yet to see if us Irish consumers will be able to get one with anything resembling ease [...]
