Apparently Jamie Oliver has been singled out as being responsible for one billion pounds of extra revenue generated by Sainsbury’s, courtesy of his advertising campaign with them. It’s no wonder they were so quick to forgive him after rounding against them in his “Fowl Dinners” show, and the fallout that came from there. For a [...]

I’ve just had this pointed out to me!

Grrr! That’s about all I can say to Singapore Air’s 20kg baggage restriction. The amount of fantastic books, clothes, and bits and bobs that I have spent a lifetime collecting have been sold, given away or thrown out over the past few weeks. It’s somewhat soul destroying having to give away books that haven’t been [...]
Really liking Donncha’s shot of London taken whilst flying over head! Pity he just missed grabbing a shot of my apartment as well! And whilst I’m sharing some photo love, OMG I think this is wonderful!
Does anyone out there know how I would go about getting an emergency seat up grade with Singapore, in order to give me a little more legroom on my flight over. I’d rather not have to pay for it, unless it was a reasonable amount. I know when I was flying back from South Africa [...]
One of the things I love about London (and Paris, New York etc) is that people know how to stand out of your way on escalators etc. Here, you gotta stand to the right, so that people who want to pass, can do, on the left. God help you if you decide to straddle the [...]
I’ve just realised that since I started blogging a little more regularly last week, that I’ve had a 130% increase in readers here. Ok, so I was coming from a pretty low base given that I hadn’t been blogging at all really, but, if you’re new here, welcome, and if you’re old school, welcome back!
Not a lot really! In fairness, that’s not exactly true. I will write a bit about the things about London that I won’t miss over the next few days, but, in the meantime, some of the things I will miss about living in London include: Camden Town: Definitely one of the coolest and most offbeat [...]
Nearly There!! Originally uploaded by DjMagra I’ve cleared most things out of the apartment today, have sorted through my clothes that I’m wearing for the week, and have my bag almost packed! Only 5 days left until I leave London, so exciting, innit?
I’ll admit, having been blogging here since March 2003, and having started off The Dublin Community Blog and having been a fairly avid blogger and active member of the Irish blogging community for quite some time, I’ve grown rather bored of them over the past few months. I still read quite a few blogs every [...]
