Funniest Damn thing I've read in a long time
From the Onion: Irish-Heritage Timeline
Sample: “1487 - In a decision still regretted today, Irish let a few British friends stay in Belfast”.
This must have been written by a Paddy. Makes me proud to be Irish.
Unfortunately, as I spent 8 years in the Scouts as a kid and had to march in the pissing rain every March 17th in the Paddy’s Day Parade in Kilkenny, I now have a pathological loathing of the whole day.

Saturday in Dungarvan
We spent Saturday in and around Dungarvan visiting Catherines cousin Maria. They live near Clonea Strand which is a fantastic beach. Myself and the boys whiled away an hour or two digging holes and filling them with stones. We stayed in the Clonea Strand Hotel - a good mid-market place with some fantastic (non-ironic) 70’s interiors. Big high ceilings and open stairs. Beds could do with replacing but a top spot with great kids facilities.

4-2 to the Boys
Well the wee fetus has turned out to be a boy. We had the 21-week scan yesterday and even I could tell it was a bloke! He is slightly above average weight and all looks perfect. A couple of scans will be posted soon (including a High-5 which is pretty neat). Ois and Osc are thrilled “So that’ll be 4 boys and only 2 girls in the house. Brilliant!”. Names we have come up with so far to annoy my mother include Cavan, Mossie, Moses and Cruz.

Ciarán and Heathers Wedding - Superb
It’s not often I comment on a wedding but last weekends wedding of Ciarán and Heather was absolutely brilliant. From the lovely church in Tinahely to the beautifal location for the reception in Ballybeg House to the phenomenal catering, great crowd, top atmosphere and razor sharp speeches, we all left with huge grins on our faces. Of course I’m now getting flashbacks of the picture shown by Eoin O’B of Ciarán in First Year Eng with his German ‘tache.
