Heroes, new series is great, even despite the rubbish "English" and "Irish" accents... where did they get these people?Nice, that link to Heroes shows up lots of very old posts from the days of popex, my "heroes and villains of the year", from whatev...

Do you know all the songs?

I'm not Irish at all, the wife is on her Dad's side, and some of their friends are who were out. Chief knower-of-all-the-songs is actually Scottish, but he sings like an Irish... Then again there's probably a lot of crossover, I always think of Green...

RE: That could work...

Being Irish, I do have something to comment on Irish people singing. Mainly around the fact that Irish people are great, and their singing can only enhance the party atmosphere etc.Commenting on comments is an interesting one and an issue that I did ...

That could work...

I might have a go at doing that, cheers...How would people comment on comments, would that work? I probably do need easier commenting in here anyway, whether I do it like that or not.Do you really have something to comment about irish people singing?...

RE: Fullsome weekender

Just a thought, so bare with me on this one.Reading your most recent post, I got to thinking about comments. Now someone may have already done this, but I got to thinking about the process of having to go to a comments page to make a tiny comment. Th...

Fullsome weekender

Blackpool (being the third part of my two week holiday write up)

Have you been to Blackpool? DON'T EVER EVER GO THERE, man alive, it was the worst place I've ever been to. A few people gave me odd looks when I said I was going to Blackpool for a couple of days as part of our grand tour, but only one person got clo...

Good weekend, to be sure

Work birthday outing on Friday night, so glad they'd picked Escondido, it was great. Then a couple of pints in Gate 28 and I could feel I was getting a bit too squiffy, so I called it a night early, didn't want to make a lasting impression on my firs...

Number one result for "Habitat Radius"

Was just trying to find the furniture we bought at the weekend, and all the top results are me, how strange. It's down to Habitat's website being quite bad, the whole flash interface makes it hard to index, so my pages are coming up top. ANYWAY, here...

One night in Paris*

So we hit Paris at the weekend, and we'd only been there a matter of minutes before Paris hit me. Friday, very early morning Eurostar, but nice, as it was from Ashford, which is just up the road from us. So no need to head into London, or even to get...

How am I letting this slip now I have more time on my hands..?

Is that another week with nothing to say? Been a bit busy with all the eating and drinking and partying surrounding the wedding. Never mind the happy couple, let's have a picture of Clare and I looking all scrubbed up:Can I remember precisely what I'...

She's about as Irish as I am

Clare's a Mahon, her dad is Irish, he's got the accent and everything. His great uncle is famed Irish artist Harry Clarke, that surname is just coincidence though, no relation to me (apart from now by marriage). Future generations of genealogists are...

PopEx

I am number 8 in the popex charts, not done this well for a while, even though it's my game... Is this the right time for me to be dumping my good performing shares and buying Shayne Ward (x-factor winner) instead? I'm feeling in the mood for a gambl...

just a coincidence I think

I pasted that in from an email I got, maybe someone else knows more. I got an email too from an Eric Clarke in the US Air Force who has the same birthday as me, he's interested in tracing his family tree:My name is Eric Clarke I was born 7/27/1974 in...
