I'm sure the handful of readers who read my post from late Friday realised that I fucked up. It’s better to run my mouth than to run to print. This is the revised version as some things I r...

Well, Pootie Poots didn’t make a big speech last month so he has let the Wagner musicians make all the headlines. It seems those ‘quiet green men’ of Crimean fame pack a mighty wallop w...

It’s strange how some concepts and ideas rhyme. I came across a new documentary series posted on Telegram about the USS Liberty’s deliberate attack by Israhell in June 1967. For the new...

Irish wakes are a cultural phenomenon to behold. Frankly they are the only time that (in this case) brothers, sisters, sons, daughters, cousins, grandkids and now great grandkids come togethe...

Well I guess I’ve been AWOL long enough then. I did actually take some time off with the family as I think we all need to charge the old mental batteries. Boy it was hot by Irish s...

A few of you good travellers of the interwebs pass this way from time to time. Those lost souls will have noticed that I have lapsed into bad habits of late and have posted bugger all. I have...

This is a bit of a strange post for me. It is a bit negative. I really enjoy the postings of a web guy called Gonzalo Lira. I keep getting his name wrong and the country of his origin. ...

I read a quote once about how someone famous went bankrupt. His answer was that it happened “slowly and then all at once”. That comes to mind watching the past week’s video coverage of ...

The man is dead they all say - long live the legend. Our lying eyes have seen the footage and even the online pundits ‘concede’ the point. I briefly watched the first video and closed the bro...
