Tired of Google?

Came across this via Michele Neylon‘s blog. If you are tired of the name Google you can simple change it to whatever your heart desires with this little tool from Logogle. Ok, it’s not very useful but if you’re easily amused like me you should get 5 minutes craic out of it. My efforts: diddies, [...]

Tyrone joke

Ok, this is an old one, but since Tyrone lost at the weekend (Armagh took the Ulster title) I thought this might cheer them up … or then again maybe not … Tyrone manager Micky Harte sends scouts out round the World looking for a new forward to replace Peter Canavan and hopefully win the [...]

Back in action …

Back online again after my trip home. I absolutely gorged myself on all those foods which i’ve missed in the past year (taytos, sausages and all the rest) and importantly I now have a good stock of tea bags to keep me going for another while, although I may be calling on Gerry O’Sullivan to [...]
