It has been a dark few months for Irish politics, I cannot imagine a time where a government was so openly arrogant and unaccountable to its people. Our Dail and its Ministers now operate without any accountability, with statements and reports deflecting blame and events have now reached a true nadir where for the second […]

The 3rd Annual No Music Day takes place today, with Radio Scotland taking the lead playing no jingles, tunes, music and presumably staff are prohibited from striing coffee rhythmically. So too the radio station is taking it upon themselves to make citizens arrests on individuals listening to music on the street outside the station. The […]

Alas I haven’t won a Wii from Science Week :(. But one thing that it did highlight to me was how little actual science there is out in the Irish Blogosphere. Other then James . I can’t think of anyone that actually blogs much about science which is a shame. So I will try to […]

With a number of sitcoms, soaps and entertainment shows already in reruns, prime time shows such as ER, Heroes and Grey’s Anatomy are looking at having only 2 to 3 more original episodoes to air this year.

I always find it hilarious when I hear townie commentators in Newspapers (just because you bought a big fancy house in the country does not make you any less of a townie) going on about the the realities of rural life. Kevin Myres is on a rant today about how a stag hunt […]

I’ve just seen the movie adaptation of Cecilia Ahern’s debut novel ‘P.S I Love You’. I want to send out a warning now that this film will be a talking point this Christmas, but you the readers of this blog will have the advance warning that it sucks so much there are few words in […]

I have not posted these videos for viewing purposes, I’m aiming more for a audial experience. These songs - the theme from ‘Requiem for a Dream’ and a song titled ‘Nara’ by E.S. Posthumus should be recognisable from any number of trailers, are suitably dramatic pieces of music and of course great to listen to […]

It is day three of Science Week Ireland. With everyone gunning for a Wii.
So todays question is what gadget do you want to buy next.
