Last night I sat down to watch the 9 o’clock news and within 30 minutes I was sickened by quite a number of things. Firstly, good old Hairy Marney (aka Mary Harney) showing up to the announcement of new jobs in Cork, I ask where was she when 3-com announced losses?

Just picked this article refernce up off Rob’s Rants. It’s a great piece by Robert Fisk on the 2 years since September 11th, 2001.

It used to be the case that the polar ice caps were melting and people maybe didn’t take it so seriously due to the removed distance. However, it now… Read More »It’s Not Just the Poles
Well for the last two days I have been out flat (due to putting my back out that is). During a two day spell while I was mostly incapacitated I got the chance to suffer some daytime television. Programmes are rubbish but the ads provoke thought. On English channels there are constant ads during the… Read More »Observations
Heard about this on Today FM this morning on the way to work and thanks to Rob O’Connor for reminding me to follow up the story.
