All your internets are belong to us
Worrying Adrian Weckler’s comparison is excellent – what a shame somebody with such little understanding of the situation, like Justice Peter Charelton, can be allowed make judgements like this. And more from Digital Rights Ireland.
A changeling is gonna come
“Twenty”, said Dirty Dave. “Great news!” “What’s that?”, I asked. “I’m gonna be a dad”. “Again?” “What do you mean again?” “Erm … you’ve obviously forgotten your lovechild with the Spanish woman?” “Spanish?” “Yeah. Felipe? Filthy Felipe?” “Erm …” “He … Continue reading
Water charges
Worth blogging. Greens to introduce water rates. So some guy is gonna come into your house and install a water meter. Meanwhile, revenue raised by water charges will not go into any of the following: Fixing Victorian water pipes Ensuring … Continue reading
A new constitution? Haha.
THE LABOUR Party in government would appoint ordinary citizens, chosen at random, to a special convention charged with drawing up a new constitution for the 100th anniversary of the 1916 Rising, party leader Eamon Gilmore has said. Can you imagine? … Continue reading
Best job ever
With all this volcano business still going on and flights across Europe cancelled it was kinda funny yesterday to see updates coming from the ‘Volcanic Ash Advisory Centre’ in London. Now, fair enough they’re earning their money at the moment … Continue reading
Is there no end to their terror?
Iceland, a nation which has given us the ghastyl, caterwauling medusa that is Bjork, a chain of chavvy UK supermarkets and Eidur Gudjohnsen has now broken the sky. Well done. What is it with these small nations trying to make … Continue reading

Boogaloo, fine. Cars, not.
If there’s anything that makes me want to punch people in the face it’s the Green Party. And by people I mean members of the Green Party. I wouldn’t be so enraged by them that I started punching random strangers, … Continue reading

When people complained about not being able to see the underlying image you could merely scoff at them and make them out to be completely crap at looking at ‘magic eye’ pictures.
How could anybody ever have proven otherwise? When I think of the dozens of pounds I could have made selling them, or having them sold, beside the bloke who used to sell all the bootlegs on O’Connell Bridge …
