Much of history involves looking back and trying to find the point that changed the future. Recently I just read the book What if. It is about what if little changes in History happened would the world be much different. For instance what if the Romans had conquered the Germans would we have had the [...]

Through circumstances entirely within my control, I found myself in Cork this past weekend where I finally, mercifully, got to see the Dark Knight. Through a combination of the trek from Dublin to Cork, the frenzy I had whipped myself into about the movie and my subsequent delay in seeing it, I found myself physically [...]

So after their win yesterday, Waterford will be Tipperary’s opposition in the All Ireland Semi-Final.
