All hail the T-bone

Yayy! According to the news today it looks like we’ll be having T-bone steaks in this country again. I love a bit of steak, me 🙂

Anyone for golf?

Had a nice morning today. Out at Castlegregory on the lovely little 9 hole course. It’s a bit hilly so it’s trouble for the old man.

101 uses for a dead cat

What does one do with a dead cat? It’s not mine, it just wandered into the garden and died last night. I’m not legally supposed to put it in the bin. There is the burial option, I suppose.

Rob’s had a babby

My mate Rob’s had a baby girl. Mother and child are doing well. When I heard on Saturday there was no name mentioned.

Cheap shot

snake

it looks like someone else noticed the Snake grows up. Mind you, the comment in the comic it’s a bit dodgy considering the person it’s coming from 🙂

A link for Rob

I’ve been getting a few podcasts lately. I had subscribed to a few long ones, but had to give up on them – they’re too much like talk radio and a lot less like entertainment. Recently, I was pointed at Spaceship radio, which is public domain radio plays from the 50’s. I’ve only listened to three of them, and all I have to say is that they’re great. I really enjoy the classic radio plays and it being science fiction really brings it into focus for me.

[Listening to: 1985 – Bowling For Soup – A Hangover You Don’t Deserve (3:13)]

David McWilliams’ elephant in the corner

Reading through the Sunday Business Post there’s an article by David McWilliams about needing to seriously consider the use of Nuclear power in the future. Considering some of the countries with the most reliance to nuclear power – France, Germany, Sweden and Finland; they also have really good track records with, for example, not having horrible nuclear accidents. He made some good points, especially about the fact that these places are being run by responsible people who would care about how things work. I’m sorry, but I could not trust anyone in this country to run a nuclear power plant properly.
