Ireland defeat Italy (Gavin Sheridan) Yes we have done it again, Ireland thrashed Italy in a brilliant match. Some excellent tries there, especially O'Driscoll and Peter Stringer scored a gem just at the line. Roll on the grandslam.:-) 7:21:03 PM    Click here to add to the [] comments My cousin Rebecca (Gavin Sheridan) This is the first time Rebecca has appeared on the Internet. She has appeared on MyFamily.com, but only to members of the family. So Rebecca Anne Sheridan is now on the net. What is interesting is that if she does a Google search (or whatever the search engine will be) on herself in a few years time, she will probably find this as one of the first references. And this might even get cached for prosterity. If you are reading this sometime in 2015 Rebecca, just remember that I was visiting your mum and dad when you decided that it was time to enter the world - and I made a quick run to the door and back to Ireland. And, to think, this story might be on the net - forever. 12:17:00 PM    Click here to add to the [] comments I wish I had a brain (Slate) This is absolutely hilarious. A list of Bushisms from the last couple of years. George W. Bush beggars belief! : "We need an energy bill that encourages consumption."—Trenton, N.J., Sept. 23, 2002 "I need to be able to move the right people to the right place at the right time to protect you, and I'm not going to accept a lousy bill out of the United Nations Senate."—South Bend, Ind., Oct. 31, 2002 "The law I sign today directs new funds and new focus to the task of collecting vital intelligence on terrorist threats and on weapons of mass production."—Washington, D.C., Nov. 27, 2002 3:36:17 AM    Click here to add to the [] comments Top 10 on Eatonweb and Ireland play Italy (Gavin Sheridan) I somehow made it into the top 10 blogs on Eatonweb - don't ask me how! Maybe I will go to number 1? Can a drunk Irishman do it? Ahh perhaps the Guinness gives me strength :-) Of course we have the crucial Six Nations game of Ireland versus Italy today. The Italians are looking fast and dangerous, they have already beaten Wales. But after Ireland's defeat of Scotland surely we can beat the Six Nation Newbies? Time will tell. 3:24:26 AM    Click here to add to the [] comments GavinsBlog on Slashdot (again) :-) (Gavin Sheridan) I have submitted a number of stories to Slashdot over the last number of days. My latest one has been accepted, and I am expecting another one to appear on the frontpage shortly. You can normally read the stories on this blog, first! :-) But my thanks to /. readers for their comments - I love the interaction with people that are interested in the same stories I am! 2:52:01 AM    Click here to add to the [] comments Nobel war prize? (The Guardian) Paul Hamilos in the Guardian asks the question: Given the fact that previous nominees include Adolf Hitler and Henry Kissinger, can anyone take the Nobel Peace Prize seriously? His answer is really a big No, and I would be inclined to agree. Henry Kissinger??? 2:43:37 AM    Click here to add to the [] comments
