ivan commented on the post, What was the first thing you did on the internet? 6 days, 2 hours ago
It was in college in Limerick in November 1994 and I dunno what we went looking at. Far as I recall, all that on t’internet was Lightbulb jokes, Grateful Dead bootleg discographies and hilarious RFCs for things […]

I don’t know if this suits the demographic but if you’re lucky enough to have some big bloody Lego kit to make, then put a nice fat white towel down on the table you’re working on first. That way when (and you […]

I heard an advert for this on the radio; they don’t use Comfortably Numb. Is their cover of Comfortably Numb the last time that Roger and Dave of Pink Floyd agreed on something? I seem to recollect they both […]

hah I can’t remember the one i was at where the well heeled lad who clearly didn’t have the benefit of much of the lingo and who, not wanting to be sent home *just* yet, let a yell out of him on the beach one day […]

My auto-response that if you’ve never watched Justified a) it’s there and b) you really should. It’s *very* good.

Meteorologists shocked at the lack of rain 4 days on the trot in Dublin 3, i understand… all who’ve been to Coldplay have only had good things to say and hopefully ‘ver kids had a ball!

I got on well, Max . I clicked the TM link at around 6.15 and was prompted to a waiting room thingy, so i pottered about doing other stuff staying the heck away from the computer for fear i’d balls things up. At […]

There’s four of us in a whatsapp group; we’ve been mates since almost day one in college in Limerick. Earlier today I asked if anybody was thinking about trying for Croke Park tickets. I had pitched in for the […]

Not a catchphrase but the (now) five year old had a soft toy a few years ago, a horse that had a rattle thingy on it. It went *everywhere* with him. I called it Shergar, and it stuck.

I don’t know enough about RT to nitpick at what ‘she’ has ‘written’ but having had a look at Amazon, it’s clear it’s some kind of AI generated crap is it? Certainly if the covers of her books are anything to go […]

I agree; the only real external guy is Nick Seymour and he’s not going to piss on his meal ticket. The samey vocals through the entire album are a big turnoff for me. Neil Finn has a fine, strong singing voice […]

Christ, the one with all the webchats didn’t work as an audiobook though, despite RG’s best efforts. I didn’t realise that until it was well over a year in my library and no returning to Audible at that point…

Horiwitz is great. I think i said this on one of his last reviews but he did two Sherlock Homes novels and *they* were great as well, and all the Hawthornes are great. The Atticus Pund ones are maybe a teeny tiny […]

Yes. Meant to post this a few days ago. I live in a small town where sometimes we get our recommendations old-skool. Was in the chemists on Thursday, getting prescription for The Older Child and Padraic who works […]

I should have thought that ‘serious’ music fans would accept that tribute acts are often what keep the lights on, like Panto is to serious ‘theatre’.

YNGMYM is, for my money, the best value Beatles book there is. There is *literally* no filler in it. And as you read it, you find yourself muttering ‘wanker’ at every one of them. Even your favourite […]
