  • Holy Hail, Batman!

    I was just about to go make some brekkie, waiting for the Phill Jupitus breakfast show to start on 6music, when I heard a weird crackling in the office. “Crap, something’s on fire,” was my first thought, my second was to start reaching for a fire extinguisher … then I turned off dabbar, and listened…

  • Zero Four

    Another year, another bunch of drinks 🙂 Went out with Andy, Jade and Jess — started at Jess’s, then Bar Oz, Waxy’s for the bells, and then some random flat out west. Good night, good craic, sorted. Made it home just before 8 — I only remember the actual time because I snapped a couple…

  • .ie: Home Again, Home Again, Jiggedy Jig

    I’ve been home since about half past ten this (yesterday) morning, caught up on email (about 2,200), said lo to lots of online people, slept, watched some stuff I’d taped onto the TiVo and Sky+, slept a bit more, ate, and I’m here typing now plugging in all the offline blog entries I’d made and…

  • .ie: Lemon Flavoured Graph Thing

    Dunno how, but the Vaio’s battery is down to 17% — I don’t remember it being this low earlier 😛 I’m up on the top mezzanine floor in Top Crust, just chowed down on some Crunchy Nut Corn Flakes (breakfast of champions), am still munching on a chicken and stuffing sandwich, and I have some…

  • .ie: Never Get Out of the Boat

    The first time I leave my seat in hours, and someone nicks it. And it’s a soggy bint to boot. I wandered away from my makeshift crash zone to check the screens so I knew roughly where I was checking in (row 8, as it happens), and when I got back — and I only…

  • .ie: Airport Survival Guide

    I’ve found a comfy(ish) chair upstairs in the check-in hall, I’m surrounded by a few foreigners on standby for random destinations, and it’s sleepy time! I have to say that finding a page all about crashing overnight in Dublin airport just made it even more clear to me two things: first, that the Internet is…

  • .ie: Comfy Chairs

    My plan was always — always — to get everyone to the airport in ample time to sit down, chill out, grab some munch/drinks, check-in and then go get their flights. And then I would find a comfy chair somewhere and crash like no-one’s crashed before. The reason for this is that while everyone else…

  • .ie: Returnus Airportus Maximus

    11:30 All packed, another excellent breakfast, bill settled, off to Kilkenny Castle and grounds, and maybe some munch! 14:00 Bookshop, pub, Guinness! 15:45 “And it’s Anderson in the Marea, can he make it?!” </murraywalker> 17:30 We’re back at the airport. This is getting more familiar to me than Stansted, my most visited airport! The hire…

  • .ie: Contains Sexual Scenes

    A fantastic meal made all the more amusing by little faux pas here and there – well, only one to be honest. In the supermarket yesterday, Sabrina asked for help finding her ‘pie crust’ for the pumpkin pie dessert (although all she asked for was ‘pie crust’ without the pumpkin pie caveat). Now, in Scotland,…
