Random Images of My 2007: March



March was a pretty quiet month seeing as i spent it mostly in between the Library studying for the FE1's and in the Little Italian Man's finest coffee shop on Quinsboro Rd chatting with Gill! Its therefore no suprise i failed those exams!

Other highlights of the month include Ireland's Rugby Team finish the six nations by playing great rugby after getting the Inevitavble choke out of the way against France first in February.

Pretty sure there is something i'm missing though...




ah good times.

Random Images of My 2007; February


February saw the arrival of Anne and Ting Ting to Ireland for one of the most Crazy Weekends i'd had in a long time. Their trip took in the essential Irish Spots such as the Pub, Zaytoon and Grafton St! I joke, we took in Guinness lake and Glendalough too! Their journey even coincided with the arson attack on my Grandfathers Micra (R.I.P the Pussy Magnet!)and Alex's going away party!

Highlights of the weekend include: Anne, Ting Ting, Myself and Gillick in an Epic game of Singstar!, Anne going 'New Jersey' on some inner city scrote's and Ting Ting's "so much funny' quotes!

Random Images of My 2007; January


January saw a family trip to Old Trafford, Manchester to see a Manchester United side featuring Henrik Larson finally mounting their first serious title challenge in years face Aston Villa. United won the game 3 - 1 with Goals from Michael Carrick, Park Ji Sung and Cristiano Ronaldo. On the Board for Villa was Gabriel Abonglahor

Christmas Gifts! Garth Marenghi's Darkplace



I got this DVD off Robert, Cathy and Claire and must seriously recommend it to anyone who is into strange obscure comedy. It is impossible not to mention it alongside 'The Mighty Boosh' as two of the Main Characters (Matt Berry aka Dr Lucien Sanchez and Richard Ayoade aka Thornton Reed) have featured as some of my favourite Cult Hero's in 'the Boosh' (Dixon Bainsbridge and Saboo respectively)

Here is a clip of what it probably got most people's attention towards the show, Dr Lucien Sanchez and One Track Lover:

Ghostbusters coming to an Xbox 360 near you not very soon



How amazing does this look? I'm not one to salvate over a video game release, with the exception of Pro Evo of course, however this game looks quality!

Ghostbusters was always a favourite in my house growing up and the clip below, certainly captures all that was cool about the film into the game!

Only problem is its not due out for another 10 months! sigh...

The Over Excited Countdown: Interpol



Only 13 days to go! I saw these guys at Oxegen in July having only heard "Antic's", and despite knowing only knowing a fraction of the set list i still had an amazing time! So it is with great joy that only 4 months later the NYC 4 piece should roll back to our gracious shores for a one night stop in the RDS.


In those 4 months i've brushed up "Turn on the Bright Lights" and "Our Love to Admire" so i can only imagine how much more it is going to rock!


To wake everyone up on a dull Monday morning here's the excellent and funky "Say Hello to The Angels" live At Glastonbury:


Apt spelling mistake of the day:


I couldnt help but smile this morning reading The Irish Times' Emmet Malone refer to our favourite man in Merrion Square as "Fail Chief Executive John Delaney"

South Park Lays Into Dorks


I'm a big fan of South Park. I was one of many people i knew who had written the show off after Family Guy became popular a few years ago. I was wrong. The last few seasons would be classified as a storming return to form if only they weren't completely funnier! During the shows peak they have ripped into many things and i have been able to say "Its funny cause its not me!" Until now....


Guitar Queer-o the latest episode of the 11th series rips into Guitar Hero playing Dorks, unfortunately since a Phantom Fm competition in May and an XBox purchase in Sept, I am one of the aforementioned Dorks.

Luckliy though its a quality episode and seeing as i'm only a "recreational gamer" and i havent devoted every ounce of my time pursuing 1,000,000 points, i can laugh!

Do I even have anything remotely original to say?

Well that hasn't stopped most people from starting a blog so why should that stop me?
After reading my brothers blog which is pretty good read [check it out at http://www.egoeccentric.blogspot.com]
I've been inspired myself to see if i too can help people do anything else other than be attentative at work, Enjoy.
