Just back from a walk in the War Memorial Gardens near Inchicore. Amazing place on an evening like this. The sun sinking into the Liffey is something else Its going to be lashin' in 10 hours....

Maybe not, but that Leonard Cohen gig tonight (Sat) was one of the highlights of my concert-going life. Talk about living up to your expectations. It was something else:):):)

A few weeks ago, an Italian couple stopped me in Temple Bar looking for directions to Mount Herbert Hotel in Ballsbridge. They were straight from the Airport and looked tourist-wrecked. It was too hard to give actual directions, so I jumped in their rental car with them and showed them the way...

They were deadly. Really loud and noisy. .|..| Anybody heard the latest album?

Was in a Thai restaurant on Westmorland on Friday night with my sister. Midway through the main course, she realised that her handbag was gone... along with cash, cards, phone, keys, drivers licence, baby photos etc. It seems that somebody walked in off the street and swiped it, right from under...

Boo! Foggy Notions will still be on line, but feck that! I want paper! http://www.ireland.com/blogs/ontherecord/2008/03/04/closing-the-book-on-mongrel-opening-the-chapter-on-state/#more-836

For some reason I have become allergic to certain food products (slight red rash appearing on wrist or neck or stomach after eating). I've a feeling it could be a dairy thing as it usually appears after eating yoghurts/ cheese. But also from certain cakes/ pastries - anything with saturated fat...

My favourite from the I'm Not There soundtrack, a really lovely, very short song called "I Can't Leave Her Behind". I never even knew this Dylan song existed! Maybe he has loads of unreleased gems like that...

Has anybody seen this? The sleepiest, most blissful, little kids programme ever. I spent Christmas in the company of 3 nephews/ nieces (aged 6 months - 2 years). It was set to be the noisiest few days ever, but we were saved by Iggle Piggle, Macca Pacca and the Ninky Nonks...

Shouldn't really be done should it? I always have user's remorse at the slightest utterance of even a "shit". It just seems so inappropriate. I was on the bus last week and couldn't get over the language a mother (I assume) was using to her kid (aged about 3). The little one was talking non...

Should really be sick of him at this stage but just started his latest and its great, even though it covers the same old ground - where has it all gone wrong types, Macjobs, end of the world scenarios, nostalgia and smidgens of hope. His best in a while...(though some of the reviews are scathing!)

I know it comes with the territory, but my sister has a ten week year old boy and he was crying, what seemed like, all the time. Val was worried and upset but the doctors told her it was just chollic or something. She decided to go to an osteopath, who was able to tell that the poor fella's neck...

The soundtrack to the forthcoming Dylan film looks pretty good. That said, has anybody ever really covered Dylan that well? Apart from the Byrds... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I'm_Not_There Although the track order has not been finalized, the songs that will appear on the soundtrack...

This is quite amusing.. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/northern_ireland/6977125.stm Paddy to Power Tonga to victory? A Tongan rugby star called Paddy Power says he hopes to realise a burning ambition by scoring a try against England in the forthcoming World Cup. The player formerly known as...

The one where she is having a Lilly Allen-esque go at the boyfriend... Its been in my head ALL day

I remember the first present I ever bought my Dad was a peach - I didn't get much pocket money in the early seventies. On more than one occasion, I bought my Mam knitting needles and a ball of wool for her birthday. They always let on to be delighted..

Seems that they have recorded a duet (the Auld Triangle) for Cat Powers forthcoming Covers album. Could make for an hilarious appearance on Jules Holland at some stage. Also doing Otis Redding’s “I’ve Been Loving You Too Long,” Nice...

Both my sisters are due to give birth within the next few days. Splash-down, as one of the managers here calls it, rather inappropriately I guess, but given the weather, it seems apt enough. The chances are I'll become a Godfather to one of the babies. Whats the going rate for presents/...

Running for a bus last week, pelting down rain, slipped on a crisp bag, went flying and landed straight on my face. Whacked my teeth and possibly have to go to dentist. A few people pointed and laughed. Embarrassing and painful. Its never as funny when it happens to you. What a week, Christ...

Is it nice? The one on dame Street, supposed to be going on Wed? Cheers
