Lazy Politicians

4 members of the cabinet didn't turn up for the first cabinet meeting of the new session because they were on holiday. They have had 10 weeks to go on holidays.

How would Mary Hanafin react if parents did this with children taking holidays in term time?

Double standards and poor public service!!!

The life of a web developer

We live a strange existence, with people not really understanding or valuing what we do.

I came across this letter which puts it beautifully.

The kids are back!

Schools are back today so the traffic is starting to get mental. It took an extra 10 minutes or so to get to work because of it and I am on a bike!

Just a message to all parents. Walk to school with your kids, it's healthier for you, for them and the planet.

An oldie but a goodie

I love this clip! It is so bad yet so good!

Busy Busy Busy

I've been so busy lately that I barely have time to think. I have a couple of projects working side by side in work and of course the client from hell (Steve, you know who I'm talking about).

Was at the Dubs match on saturday and it was so dissapointing. They lost it when they left their morale in the dressing room at half time.

I might have a seller for the bike but that is a whole post on it's own!

Touts with a site?

I was looking for Dublin Vs. Kerry tickets and I came across this site. Yesterday they were offering tickets to this game for €300, they have a face value of €40.

There is no way I would pay that for a ticket. They have extraordinary prices for all their tickets. Is this legal? Are they a tout with a site?

tell me what you think?

Bike Test

I had my bike test at the ludacrisly early time of 08:15 yesterday morning. I have not been well for the alst few days so getting up even earlier was hard, and I was very tired.

I dragged my ass over to Tallaght and started (after sitting in the waiting room for a few minutes). I felt nervous and although i knew I had got the questions right I weasn't 100% sure.

Then out to the bike.

"How do you check the brakes" he asked.

"Well you make the bike upright and check the brake fluid in this window here " (oh dear god, the window was empty).
"And you squeeze the brakes to see if they are spongy" (they feel spongy!!!!)

He was happy with that. He sent me out, drive around a bit, do a u-turn drive at walking pace all that jazz. Headed back and i was really nervous.

He came back to the desk and said "Very high standard, keep it up".

I was so relieved, now i'm looking forward to my insurace rebate.
