cheer me up monday …oldie #10

the last of the oldies. Some say Bob Hope was the boy band of comedians – aparently he didn’t write his own material, at all… he just spoke it. That said, he was the face of the early days and from him came so much to follow. I’ve great memories of him and nothing would make [...]

cheer me up monday…. oldie #9

everyone knows him. Not too sure what everyone thinks…. But, Woody Allen regarding stand up, was the Bill HIcks of his generation and somewhere between Spike Milligan. However, eliminating F’s from comedians work leaves very little available. And the rule is if it has one [except for Mr Connolly who can get away with it...] it’s [...]

Bloggers Christmas Party

Last night I attended The Bloggers Christmas Party dinner hosted by Niall Harribson of www.ifoods.tv

That shuttle nearly killed me

Its almost 20 years since I’ve played a real game of Badminton.  If you played and liked it, you’ve probably  thought about how you’d like to take it up again.  I’m my case this was very true. I love the gym, its a great way to unwind, but my current gym has the same amount of [...]

Red Velvet

Red Velvet a unisex hair saloon opened recently in Ballyboughal in the new commercial building that seemed to take forever to complete.  I wish them a great success.

cheer me up monday …oldie #7
