  1. The light-sensitive automatic headlights on my car have just come on. It's 1pm. Dark day in Dublin.
  2. @lawyerist Hmmph. Frozen tundra, 12,000 mile round trip. Always some excuse, isn't there?
  3. @lawyerist Well, my garden needs digging. Lot of leaves in the gutters too. If you could take care of just those 2 things, that'd be great.
  4. Celtic Bookmakers was very good to us in providing bookie shop as a shooting location last year. Very obliging despite great inconvenience.
  5. @kencurtin Maybe you could add a box or two to the census form? Some detailed polling information perhaps?
  6. @deshocks Ha! Would you trust them? It'd involve counting and addition. And being honest. :)
  7. An election in March would make life very difficult for census takers. Many door-knocks will remain unanswered fearing canvassers.
  8. @adrianweckler Yes please. :)
  9. @larrybodine. Larry, did you see that David Maister announced his retirement today? http://goo.gl/WtIAM I learned a lot from him.
  10. David Maister, professional services adviser extraordinaire, announces his retirement. I learned a lot from this man. http://goo.gl/WtIAM
  11. @alanjgdoherty True. I don't see why you couldn't. A bike is a bike.
  12. RT @irishrail NEW! Bring your bike on DART / Commuter services at off-peak, & all day at weekends! http://bit.ly/exCMjb >> About time too!
  13. @eleventyfour No problem. Hope they get the funding.
  14. @quiatimet Belated thank you for the #ff. And Happy New Year!
  15. Anyone who's filming in Ireland in 2011, friend has a €1000 gear rental voucher she can't use and wants to offload for (less) cash. RT pls?
  16. @eolai Stayed up far too late to do likewise. Always worth waching.
  17. @rkkx I've never noticed that before. Must keep an eye out for it.
  18. RT @jimconnolly: WordPress bloggers: Update your blog to 3.0.4 now - #Wordpress calls this security update critical http://bit.ly/ewnXg2
