BBC News are carrying a story about a Sudanese man who has been forced to marry a goat!! Why is that the case, well, the goats owner found the man having sex with his goat. Unsure what to do, he decided to tie the man up and consult the elders of the village. On consideration, [...]
I have been writing over on the metblog all afternoon about the riots that have taken place in Dublin City Centre this afternoon. There’s lots of blog posts and pictures starting to appear on the net now. Newstalk have to be congratulated on their excellent coverage too, which has been most informative throughout the day.

So, not only did we get around to launching dublin.metblogs.com today, but, I also finally got rid of my old blog that had been hosted on blogs.linux.ie. Everything has now been relocated to where you are reading this now, and I again just want to give a big shout out to Donncha for all his [...]
For the past few weeks, myself and a few other Dublin bloggers, have been working with the wonderful team from metroblogging.com to bring you dublin.metblogs.com. The site has just gone live within the past few minutes, and with a bit of luck, it will turn out to be as enjoyable and interesting as I’m hoping [...]
