I saw these two in Neiman Marcus, an upmarket department store in Dallas and could not take my eyes off them for some weird reason (although I was convinced one of them was maybe Dog the Bounty Hunter). It’s such a ‘different’ look. One had a green goatee beard and the other one had a [...]

I had to do a mileage run when I was out in Dallas. That’s basically taking a flight for no other reason but to keep your status with an airline frequent flyer programme. I needed 500 miles to go platinum with American Airlines. I know it sounds stupid, but there are big pluses to having [...]

We went to this crazy shop called Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World the other day - it’s near Grapevine, just outside Dallas. It was enormous, and we thought it looked interesting, so went in. There was so much weird stuff in it - like camouflaged baby outfits and stuff like that. It was really slightly [...]

The weather sucks here at the moment! Not only that, but Hurricane Ike is heading our way this weekend! And I was hoping to see the sun for a change - the weather’s worse than in Belfast!

I sure do like my burgers. If you’re ever making a stop in Dallas, be sure to check out a new burger joint that’s recently opened near downtown. It’s called Mooyah - and a bit like In-n-0ut in California (home of the best burgers), their philosophy is to keep things simple with their burgers. Their [...]

Ok, first off I haven’t blogged in ages, sorry about that, I have been pretty manic since I got back, but more on that later! Still in Dallas, I had a pretty quiet but good New Year’s Eve. Last year kinda sucked as I just ended up staying in, but this year, Ailse, her friends [...]

In the Highland Park area of where my family live in Dallas, people go a bit crazy for Christmas. To the extent that companies organise tours round the Christmas displays in peoples’ gardens. Here are the best ones I have seen this year….
I like this one. It is Santa selling tickets for a carousel with [...]

The answer is yes. This is a real dude, and not an actor. Neither is the baggy pants guy with the weird top thing beside him an actor. They were waiting for a bus.

Yes indeedy. I’m sure you haven’t missed me but I am back after spending two weeks in the USofA. I had about one week in Dallas and then one week in Palo Alto, California. It was great! I was pretty busy all the time though, so I didn’t get a chance to post here.
One of [...]

I don’t usually fancy girls with tattoos. I prefer my ladies ‘au naturel’. I don’t mean naked by that. Although obviously there’s nothing wrong with them naked, in fact… erm… well you know what I mean.
Anyway, this photo was in a magazine here in Dallas, one of those free listings / out and about magazines. [...]
