The last few days have been a traumatic time for Mr Levee. You may have noticed his absense in blog land. The story is that he managed to throw his back out on Tuesday morning and has been unable to move without excruciating pain ever since. To make it worse the doctor has warned him […]
Baby D is coming along nicely since his arrival in August. He’s gone through many little phases to get where he is today and now there’s a smiley, giggling wee man living among us. Except at naptimes. When the normally amiable fella starts getting tired, he gets cranky. It’s a short jump from cranky to […]
Walking out of work this evening was like being released from prison for a few hours. Today was a hellish day in a fortnight of hellish days. Here’s the craic: I work as a manager in Belfast. For the past 5-6 years, I’ve had a full-time assistant helping me run IT in a fairly large, […]
On to more serious matters for this week’s poll. ‘Big’ Peter Hain’s threatening to crack down on playground politics by taking away our politicians’ pocket money. What do you folks think?

The airline industry will be reeling this evening with the news the Peter Hain has finally and sensibly withdrawn the On The Run legislation. Flights to Ireland are most likely being feverishly cancelled as you read this. Of course, the motives for doing this are Sinn Fein-led. They got their cake, but just as they […]
Seems the venerable, honorable Reverend Ian Paisley (Senior) has been on tour in East Tennesssee, visiting the Temple Baptist Church. By the sound of the report it was a rousing affair and he left a great impression on the congregation there. Although with sentiments like It’s a thrilling thing to serve the Lord, it’s no […]
A couple of months ago, I was sitting in the car listening to an Ulster Scots radio show. Among the highlights was an interview with a Scottish singer/songwriter, Emily Smith. Throughout the interview, they played some excerpts from Emily?s album and I was instantly captivated by her singing. A few weeks later, I managed to […]
