I see Donncha is struggling to resist the temptation to buy himself a Canon EOS 20D at the moment, which I have recently bought (and am still awaiting delivery of).

I was driving along the M1 just south of Balbriggan this evening when all of a sudden, just by the Bord Gais interconnector by the side of the motorway, I got a really strong smell of gas. Needless to say, I rang Bord Gais to inform them, they’re sending someone straight out, I just wonder [...]

The Cashel bypass has now opened, meaning that the Dublin to Cork journey has now lost one of the nightmares that peppers the journey.

Olivier Panis retired from Formula One racing this weekend after the race in Suzuka. It’s been a long, and somewhat sucessful career for him, bringing only one victory (though, he did win in Monaco, the crown jewel) but earning him the title of one of the most respected, admired and liked people on the F1 [...]
