Most people know that I love rhubarb - in particular rhubarb crumble, which is why this story is so sad. A very good example of rhubarb being used in the wrong way !

According to the Observer magazine this week, Belfast is the best place to live if you are young. Apparently one in six people is a student (I really have to start goin out more !). I actually walked past Queens this morning and saw all kinds of lovely looking ladies. I would take issue with [...]

Well, Friday was slightly hectic to say the least - it was Children In Need day, so it was all hands on deck at work. In Northern Ireland, we’re live for the whole seven hours instead of just "opting out" from the London show. It was organised chaos behind the scenes and I think by [...]

Well, I’m pleased (not smug !) to say I’ve got all my Christmas presents already (and wrapping paper and tags !) but if you have to buy a present for a dodgy Italian guy you’ve fallen out with, you could do much worse than this !

Well I totally love scotch pies (no smart comments please) so imagine my delight when I found there is actually a scotch pie club, and they are looking for the best scotch pie ! I would join the club if I could, but unfortunately you have to make them before you can join.

Well, I’ve not had too bad a week really. Started off going out last Friday night to the party after the last First Stop show to come live from the Belfast Festival. There’s the lovely (bleugh) Christine Bleakley with G. The night went very well and there was loads of dancing and mucking about.
Only problem [...]

Well, I’ve had my computer at home now for four years, but I’ve decided to start saving for an Apple Mac. Which I think will roughly take me about three years - but hey - you’ve got to start somewhere! I’m looking to buy an iMac G5, but because I want to use it for [...]

Well my sister had a sad thing happen the other day. Being a student,  her and her  mate went and bought a packet of some potato faces the other day. However, tragically, some got burnt, and you can see the result on your left. As you can see, he is no longer smiling. He looks [...]
