Last year I cam 20th in the world on the Premier League Website. So while I think it was luck with our resident top 6 Fridayer CK off in Cuba it is my turn to come up with one. So here goes.
Number 6. Defence is in teams.
Defence points goes like this. 2 points for playing [...]
….deliver these words in the manner they deserve!
They call you lady luck
But there is room for doubt
At times you have a very un-lady-like way
Of running out
You’re on this date with me
The pickin’s have been lush
And yet before the evening is over
You might give me the brush
You might forget your manners
You might refuse to stay
And so [...]
One of the concerns I, along with alot of others, have with the whole European project, as its now dubbed, is the lack of any real democracy. And no doubt that this was a factor in the vote on Lisbon.
So you can imagine my glee when Mr. Sarkozy says that we’re going to have to [...]
You may have noticed that the blog has been quieter than usual in the past number of days.

Without a doubt, and by a distance, the best thing I’ve ever seen on a stage. [...]
6. Screech (Dustin Diamond, Saved by the Bell’)
The voice, a badly aged TV show, the DVD of chess instructions and the sex tape. Car crash lifestyle up there with the best of them.
5. Dakota Fanning
Suffering from the curious and freaky condition of being far too mature for her years, Dakota seems eternally caught in the head [...]
I have been living in Britain for over one and a half years. Often when Irish people move abroad they tend to circulate in a primarily Irish circle. When i lived in Barcelona (where this blog was born) I hung around with the Irish community quiet a bit I even trained with the Barcelona Gaels [...]
Dublin airport need to really get that radar in order - I need to get to the picture below by Sunday!
Who can you believe anymore? - the Guardian comments here on how the missile launches in Iran yesterday were seemingly photo shopped. Terrible headline.
A Fair City storyline sparks a criminal investigation - layers of irony
