If you mind on drive, you’re out of your drugs via Big Mental Disease,
They’re absolutely right. Don’t be driving while doing drugs, pull over and do the drugs at the side of the road, you’ll enjoy them a lot more when you can relax and take your mind off the driving. Or just do the drugs at home. Keep off the shitty roads. They’re lethal nowadays, what with all the teenage boys zooming about without a care for their own or anyone else’s safety....

Fuck Brochures, have a comic via Damien Mulley, Instead of doing a traditional brochure for the dayjob I decided to have a bit of fun, at my expense mostly and commissioned Tommie Kelly to make a comic for Mulley Communications. The result is pretty damned good. (Biased) I posted it out to a few people and yesterday there were a good number of tweets about it giving good feedback. I fired some ideas to Tommie, he took them and created the comic. It was a quick and painless process. He’s taking commissions too if you want him to do something as fun for your company.
It gets in my penchant for trains, use of colourful language and that red shirt that so many dislike. Me as Willy Wonka was his idea, really. The cover image comes from this photo by Phil. What I like is that in the digital world where I do most of my business it is...

Anglo should publish analysis says TD via corkpolitics.ie,
Michael McGrath
MICHAEL McGrath, Fianna Fáil T.D. for Cork South Central and Vice Chairperson of the Oireachtas Finance Committee, has today repeated a call he made last April for the analysis of the different options for the future of Anglo Irish Bank to be published.
According to Deputy McGrath, “In the interests of public accountability, the analysis of the different options considered for the future of Anglo Irish Bank should be now made available by the bank for public and expert scrutiny. In recent days, the Bank’s Chairperson, Mr. Alan Dukes, has said that a detailed analysis of the different options for Anglo has been completed and the Bank favours a split into a good bank / bad bank.”
“I believe the Irish citizens deserve to have all relevant information...

NewERA plan dropped claims Kelleher via corkpolitics.ie, Billy Kelleher
FINE Gael appears to have dropped its much-vaunted NewERA jobs policy after the party’s finance spokesman, Michael Noonan, rubbished the plan in a recent radio interview, according to the Minister for Trade and Commerce, Billy Kelleher TD.
“In a statement today, Fine Gael omits any reference to the NewERA plan in the party’s response to the latest set of very disappointing unemployment figures. On the basis that Fine Gael had to launch NewERA several times and uses the tagline at every opportunity in press statements, the omission today could signal that the party has dropped the plan altogether,” said Minister Kelleher.
The move comes after Deputy Noonan claimed the party’s jobs target was a “public relations add-on” in an interview in July.
“Fine Gael...

What A Young Woman Should Know via The Anti-Room, My grandmother Helen Comer, my mother’s mother, came from a Galway landscape defined by bog, sinking roads and vast mercurial skies. Her people were farmers. Everyone was farmers in that townland; small holdings of sheep and cattle with vegetable gardens for the house and turbary rights on the bog to provide turf for the fires. At 18, she went to America. Many others in my family, on both sides, emigrated to America and sank into it like the bog that swallowed my shoes and ankles and calves if I stood too long in it.
My grandmother lived in America for eight years, most of that time in Philadelphia, and the astonishing thing is that she came home. She was the only one of my relatives who went to America and who came home. It appears that my grandmother, then 26, returned home to an...

St Patrick’s visit to the town in the year 435 was the first definite recording of Boyle’s existance. On this visit St Patrick noticed that there was very poor accommodation for travellers and he suggested to St Attracta, the abbess of Kilaraught, that she should provide a hostel. This she did and the town grew...

TB information needed in Cork schools via corkpolitics.ie, Jerry Buttimer
FINE Gael Cork South Central Senator, Jerry Buttimer, has reiterated his Party’s call for a full review of TB services right across the country, following reports that the number of children infected with the disease has reached 25 in one Cork school.
Senator Buttimer went on to say that full support and information must be made available to staff and parents, not just at Ballintemple National School but at schools throughout the county. The Cork South Central Senator also said that a drop-in clinic where children can go to be tested should be set-up to alleviate the concern of parents.
“News that the number of children infected at Ballintemple National School has reached 25 will come as a tremendous shock to parents who will no doubt have grave reservations about...

Shawlie sculpture proposal via corkpolitics.ie, NORTH side Fianna Fáil councillor Kenneth O’Flynn has proposed a motion to Cork City Council that a Sculpture be commissioned at Cornmarket Street to honour the memory of the traditional Cork Shawlies who traded as dealers in the Coal Quay and to acknowledge their unique contribution to the history, culture and heritage of Cork for many generations.
Cllr O’Flynn has also suggested that the public be invited to submit designs for the sculpture.
“A huge sum of money has been invested in the redevelopment of Cornmarket Street, which was for so long the very cultural heart of Cork with famous characters like Kathy Barry and Kitty Clifford holding fort there.
“This is something which I believe all Corkonians will have a great interest in and I would like to seem them put forward...
