Burger King - Geniuses or Mentalists?

It is my perplexed pleasure to present: The Whopperettes [tags] Burger King, Whopperettes[/tags]

The first blog by Irish smokers.....of food?

In what I hope is the first of many by high-quality food producers in Ireland, Ummera Smoked Products have launched their own blog. You can find it over at ummera.wordpress.com. Anthony seems really enthusiastic about using technology to enable him to do business more efficiently and I hope my (ahem) multitude of readers encourage him to keep blogging regularly by providing him with constant feedback. The big news on their blog is the new packaging/labelling which is a major improvement and really catches the eye on the shelf.

CoComment - Dubious at first, now a big fan

The ability to search and find information in blog comments has been identified by many “in the know” as one of the bigger challenges in blogland in 2006. But I have a simpler problem - tracking replies to my comments on other peoples blogs. Those who use Wordpress and the “Subscribe to Comments” plug-in like me allow commenters to get e-mails when replies are posted. Unfortunately, we are in the minority.

That's Valentine's Day Sorted

Snickers Pie - The unhealthiest recipe ever from Woz. All 1250 calories per slice of it. Technorati Tags: Slashfood, Recipes, Valentine’s Day

Well it beats Kilternan hands down for sure

Think we could get one of these in Bandon? Hmm, indoor ski-slope or completed bypass road? It’s a tough call for Cork County Council.

This week we'll be mostly buying Lego and Carlsberg

And maybe some of their bacon for a change.

Cully and Sully Fish Pie

Whatever I wrote about their Chicken and Leek pie - ditto! Cheesy, Spuddy, Creamy, Fishy, Yummy. Technorati Tags: Cully and Sully

Dinosaur or Giraffe?

Serious argument in our house this dinner-time. Fionn’s toy, is it a Dinosaur or a Giraffe? Let the people decide: Technorati Tags: Toys, Dinosaur, Giraffe

The IT Crowd - Oh no no no no no

If I told you that the title of the programme should have the letters “Sh” at the start, you’d probably think I wasn’t very funny. Well that’s how funny “The IT Crowd” is. I wanted to give up after ten minutes but lasted to the end for the same reason people rubber-neck car crashes. My six year old son reads me funnier knock-knock jokes from his “My first book of knock-knock jokes” than Graham Linehan came up with for this embarassment of a comedy.

Check out corkblogs.com

Anything vauguely Corky will do. Shur I’m a blow-in posting to a web-site in California and I’m on it. Technorati Tags: corkblogs
