Eircom have just brought 50 phoneboxes around Dublin online with free wireless broadband available from them. I’ve not tried the service out yet, but, it seems like a pretty neat idea. The list of all 50 phoneboxes is available on the Eircom website, along with a listing of hotels and McDonald’s outlets around the country [...]

Mother has just pointed me towards aerlingustabusers.com, a site on which to express your disappointment with the way Aer Lingus handled the closing of their TAB (Frequent Flyers) scheme. I know I for one lost out quite badly here, having enough points to avail of a free flight, but, being unable to utilise these courtesy [...]

A new Irish blog

No comments

It’s always nice to stumble upon a new blog of interest, especially when this is one written by a fellow Irish person, giving you a different perspective on what it is to be Irish, and even nicer when the blog itself holds lots of witty and interesting posts. Tonight, I have just discovered The blog [...]

Courtesy of elrond, I have just got my hands on a lovely 21″ Sony Trinitron CRT monitor. Ok, so it’s not the newest monitor to the market, but, I probably couldn’t justify the cost of one to be honest, but, this is the madra’s cahoonas if you ask me, and the picture quality is top [...]

I have just stumbled upon this excellent photo gallery of New York which isn’t quite helping the longing that I have to get back to NYC. However, I was pretty impressed when I saw some photos of the blackout in August 03, when I was there, sleeping on the floor of hotels and airports and [...]

Just noticed a load of hits on my site tonight with people Googling directly for my name, c’mon, show yourselves, who are you and what has you Googling for me!?

Ok, I’ve been suckered (only because I took the link from my wee brother, cheers Barry!), but, apparently the sms.ac mails that have been flying around lately are all part of a money-making scam. More details in the below email which I received: Remember that SMS.ac spam you may or may not have received last [...]

Last night was the work Christmas party! Good oul night, not too much scandal or gossip from what I’ve been hearing so far. Crawled into bed about 6:30 this morning, got a few hours sleep, and am now sitting in the office dreaming of a few more. Not feeling too bad, in a much better [...]
