More Manure About Autism in the Media

Sweet mother of mercy have they taken leave of their senses. Some dude wrote a totally ridiculous book, and the newspapers give him lots of space to promote his totally wacky notions. Can this be right? The book is called "The Horse Boy" by...

The BBC is reporting that the Ulster Unionist Party and the Tories will be running on a joint ticket in June's European elections under the moniker 'Ulster Conservatives and Unionists- New Force'. I'm guessing that they haven't noticed...

Irish Blog Awards- top blogs I discovered

While reading various blogs in the past month or so as part of my duties as one of the many judges, I encountered so many blogs I didn't know existed, not so surprising I know! A few were utterly dire, clearly I won't link to these, but some of...

Pancake Day

I woke up this morning in a leotard. I cried for hours. How could that rotten *** have done this to me in my sleep. My knife was still there so I suppose he could have done worse, besides once I got over the affront of it all it was quite comfortable...

In the wee small hours.

I haven't been sleeping so well and neither's Fabian Wildman, I got up at 3 last night after only a few hours sleep to find him sitting in the livingroom in a deep trance. I asked him what was wrong and he asked me what was wrong. He kept repeating...
