Ex-RTÉ journalist and current Fine Gael TD George Lee must not be content with being a shining, rising star within the Irish government. Clearly he’s become tired of Enda Kennys regime, and is seeking out further opportunities to push forward his career in politics. I’m sure Enda Kenny won’t be happy when he finds out [...]
With Cowengate fresh in our minds, and people wondering why the Gardai are trying to track down a hilarious artist instead of doing other valuable things, here’s a funny video from the guys from Langerland.
Well, you can’t really make money from farting - not real ones at least. But a clever chap in the states recently raked in almost $30,000 USD in one day by selling his ‘iFart‘ application for the Apple iPhone. Clever boy. But such a stupidly simple idea. And on which exact one day in 2008 [...]
If you’re as interested in d’interweb as I am, and you have a vested interest in it (it pays my bills!), then you’re very likely to have some favourite blogs which you frequent on an ongoing basis. So, I thought i’d share some of mine! Here goes…
One of the most ingenious bits of Irish marketing back in the eighties was Maurice Pratt, the Marketing Manager for Quinnsworth, deciding on a TV advertising strategy that included him starring in their TV ads, highlighting various in store offers.

Well, I do and I don’t love Ryanair. Whilst I like their cheap, seat sale rates, I sometimes don’t like the level of service and the tacky interiors of the planes. Granted it’s not such a pain in the arse if you’re on a short flight, but if you’re off to somewhere over an hour [...]
When in the states not so long ago, I took a flight with Southwest Airlines who are normally renowned for their hilarity and easy going nature. Whilst the attendants on my flight were very nice and all that, one was a stern looking gent who must have just broken up with his girlfriend, and he [...]
I’m a big kid, and of all the toys I had as a kid, I wish I still had my Lego. I think it’s in my attic in my parents house, but i’m scared to ask my Dad to rummage around and find it, cos he might think i’ve lost the head and gone mental. [...]
I normally shun those boring businessey books with titles like ‘How to make millons the easy way’ and those ‘Rich daddy’ ones, but i’m not adverse to buying biographical accounts of how various businesspeople got to where they are today. I’ve been catching up on some reading lately, and am a third of the way [...]
I’m in London reasonably frequently for various reasons these days (8 times so far this year), and every time I go over i’m blown away by the quality of BBC Radio 1. In comparison to anything available on Irish radio… well, there is none - especially when it comes to the Chris Moyles show.
They have [...]
