Apparently Three Ireland are planning to do something by Friday 13th which will make iPhone work properly on their network. # The amusing thing about how the left is treating the milk story is how they conveniently forget the massive Labour overspend. # Anyone any tips on the value of USD against Euro between now [...]
Changing web hosting provider is never pretty, especially when they all seem to want to offer nonsensical services as product differentiation. As a result, what seemed like a comedy ‘it may take 2 weeks to get the site up and running again’ post is pretty close to reality. The idea at the moment is to [...]
So, all things being well, tomorrow I will have an HTC Desire mobile phone instead of my much loved and lamented iPhone 3GS. The iPhone went missing, and stock was not available at my insurer, so I opted to switch to the Desire. On paper, the Desire is a better phone than iPhone, but the [...]
Next week begins European Week Against Racism, a week when organisations opposed to racism host events to highlight racial prejudice and discrimination, and to celebrate the existence of societies where discrimination on the colour of a person’s skin or their ethnicity is considered unacceptable. Normally, I mark the week by working much harder on promoting [...]

Nadine Dorries has finally lost it. Again. # Heading into a nicely complex meeting. Hope to emerge alive. # Just emerged from the meeting. Frustrating. Very frustrating. # Off to the Irish premiere of Invictus. Just has to better Escape to Victory to be greatest sport film ever. # Hadn’t bet on the amount of [...]
Tuesday, 26 December 2009 4.15am Castle woken by intrusion alarm, as Lord Alderdice tries to ram-raid his way through the security cordon in a JCB. Eventually talked down by David Forde, and was immediately tazered by angry PSNI officers. Eventually claimed that Iain Dale had made him do it.
The title should presage a joke, but, to be honest, the impact of the idiot leaders of the Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom flying to Hillsborough today was nothing short of sickening, as each sought to use the situation in Northern Ireland to deflect attention from their mutually failing regimes each side of [...]
My political colleagues in the UK concerned about the encroaching power of the state (Caroline Spelman’s concerns about Local Authorities’ proposed right to enter a premises for tax and rates reckoning, for example) may wish to pay attention to the predations of Ireland’s minister for Education and Science, Batt O’Keeffe TD. Schools in Ireland are [...]
