The Sigla Blog

In the haze of work last week I forget to mention this and I was reminded by the fact that Kevin was at the blog meet-up on Tuesday last. Kevin is the main man behind the Disillusioned Lefty blog and has been conducting a weekly interview with bloggers. Last week it was my […]

* I had a big serious blog post to put up but my head is very tender and thumpy today so I’ll save it for tomorrow. I wanted to mention various music bits and pieces in no particular order.

* Having discovered the Broken Social Scene and Clap Your Hands Say Yeah albums at the […]

I’ve only just spotted that both United Irelander and Mish tagged me with this ‘weird habits’ meme. I’ve never really thought about my idiosyncracies so here’s how it works:
The first player of this game starts with the topic �five weird habits of yourself,� and people who get tagged need to write an entry about […]

Apologies for the recent absenteeism, it�s all been a bit hectic around these parts. I finished all my pre-Christmas work yesterday so decided to head in to the blogger/freelancer meet-up. It�s always weird to put names to faces but I was delighted to meet Padraig and Colm from In Fact, Ah, Claire from Ginger […]

I’ve been having some problems with the comments here, but it seems to be fixed now (thanks Damien). It seems that some comments made in the last 24 hours have disappeared in to the ether, so if you really want to get that baby off your chest, feel free to repost. Also if […]

I know that Christmas tends to be silly season, with everyone overdoing it on the booze and shopping front. Consumerism and spending money has eclipsed what is supposed to be a religious festival (if, of course, you’re religious) and if you think that retail and religiosity are mutually exclusive, think again because the strangest thing […]

God bless Roy Keane’s knees. According to today’s Guardian, Keane is about to sign an 18-month contract with Celtic. In doing so, he will take a massive weekly pay cut (of £70,000) but will still become the highest paid player in Celtic’s history according to The BBC because Denis Desmond is prepared to subsidise […]

Further to yesterday’s mini-rant about Alex Ferguson, this comes courtesy of United Rant who outline their 10 Reasons For Fergie To Go. Ferguson, of course believes that United’s current stricken run is all the fault of the media.

Mulitiple deadlines this week so I haven’t had a chance to blog at all. I’ve got a lot of TV/Radio stuff on the moment but I hope to be back tomorrow, but I wanted to mention a a couple of things in the interim:

Cillian Murphy has been nominated for a Golden Globe for his […]

I’ll stop right there on the Gaeilge front and spare you my very patchy Irish, but I have been wanting to mention something about the Irish language for a while and find that today, I have the perfect excuse.

I had a conversation some time ago with That Girl where we both admitted we’d like […]

What’s going on with all the comment spam on Irishblogs.info?

My earlier post about Irish women bloggers provoked a lot of cross-blog debate, notably between the very women I was attempting to engage in the first place. The thread is still pulling in a lot of comments for anyone who is following the discussion.
