Amanda Whittome has just won Silver for Ireland....
in the World Hairdressing Championships in Chicago! Not once.... but twice in two categories - Full Fashion and Fantasy. I just this second got this MMS picture of Amanda (in the middle) with Sarah, her twin sister, and Joe, her partner! Yay!
From the middle of a field....
Sorry for the big delay in blogposts! I am trying to move house and office at the same time. Something I will never do again. Either way, this blogpost is being written on an apple iMac – running Vista - on a wireless internet connection, from a...
The Godfather
OK, I am SO honoured. Yesterday, I was asked to be Godfather for this little fella . So cool!
Yes, I have another sister.....
Twins, in fact…. Sarah, the other sister, not yet mentioned on this blog, just called at gave out to me that Amanda had been mentioned but she had not. So here it is Sis… I am spreading the word that you too are intelligent, wonderful, important, and...
I don't know what to say....
My mate is gone. Ron passed away at 7:30pm yesterday evening after what I can only describe as the most unlucky and unfortunate series of events. For once… I am lost for words…
Beware the dish cloth
Yesterday evening, I was helping Rachel with getting everything ready for dinner. I cannot remember how it happened, but I must have said something…. off came the slipper and I got a whack around the back of the legs. I proceeded to grab a dish cloth...
A new Nephew!
Everyone say Hi to Darragh Eric Hogan! Most certainly worthy of a blogpost :)
Hang on... I thought I was still in 2006....
2007 is here, and I am - as usual - late. The Christmas and New Year break ended up being longer than I expected. I am simply glad that this will be the last year that Rachel and I have to travel to the other side of the country to visit our families...
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!.....
......to all that for some reason come here and read my ramblings :) I am currently writing this from a couch by a fire in a château in the south west of France.... sipping wine, eating cheese and generally taking it easy ;) Enjoy the break, I know I...
Something you can do for me this Christmas... A friend in need.
Some of you know that each year I try to get to the Winconnections summit in America. Recently, instead of that, I attended the first Minasi forum members event in Virginia. (There is another one this year, but I wont be able to attend). Anyway... I am...
My Holidays, My hole....
So far I have taken a grand total of 1 Hour off work since my holiday started. I just found out that I am also booked for the rest of the week on sites. I may try again in a couple of weeks.
Holidays
We are having some of the best weather I have ever seen in Ireland. Just back from this weekends "Pig and Porter" Tag Rugby event. It was simply fantastic. I caught some nice photos of the day which are attached below. Since I have not had a...
I am such a bad husband...
5 Years married today, about 5 reminders in my Outlook Calendar, and I *still* forgot to get a card. Doh! I wonder if it is something to do with genetics...? I knew it was important, but still forgot. Lucky my wife, Rachel, is understanding. I still got...
Meltdown.... but have a look at the Flight Simulator X E3 Video while you wait....
I have SO much to post about, but I have been away.... Just came back from the legendary Munster win in Cardiff and spent a few days getting drunk in Limerick. While you wait for that post, here is a link to the E3 HiRes video of FSX.
Travelling to Cardiff ain't as easy as it sounds....
Cardiff is not that far from here.... just a ferry trip away. The problem is that I am going with the rest of the "gang" from Shannon Airport. (I have not told them that I am bad luck in Airports).... Anyway, it now turns out that munsterrugby.ie travel...
Oh YES!
Quick post as I am running out to the pub... We just hammered Leinster! Glad I bought those final tickets ;) Today was a great day... more soon!
YES! I got a ticket...
The call just came in... with 5 hours to the match and a 3 hour drive. I got a ticket to the Munster - Sale Sharks Match. Yay!
The last Rugby Game before Christmas.
I write this while travelling back from Limerick, where I just saw a pretty poor performance by Munster Rugby team against Newport Gwent Dragons. We did win, but did not get our bonus point and to be honest did not deserve it. I somehow doubt that we...
Buying Nick a Christmas Present
Every year people hand me a pair of socks or some “joke in a box” and say “Nick, you are the most awkward person to buy for, we never know what to get you.” So, if you are inclined, here are my Christmas present recommendations for me… 1. Cash into my...
Sean of the Dead
I meant to post about this a couple of months ago, but while away this weekend I saw it again and it reminded me to post. If you want a good 2 hours of laughs then please rent this movie out or find it on the satellite / cable channels. Classic stuff...
