Meeting with Brian Cowen
Today I had the privilege of meeting an Taoiseach, Mr. Brian Cowen at an event hosted by the Fingal County Enterprise Board.

Ryan Tubridy Workaholic
Ryan did a very interesting programme on the subject of workaholism on RTE radio today. I think I may be a workaholic as I often struggle to separate work from recreation (am writing this blog whilst supposedly on holidays!). Workaholics tend to assume responsibility, sometimes exclusive, for information that it would be best to have [...]
Father’s Day Gift
Every year I used to struggle to come up with a unique Father’s Day gift. Socks and toffees tended to be the predictable default. Now (my dad passed away some years back) that pleasure falls to my own children. I don’t envy them! Today I posted a 10% discount on the web-site as a special [...]
Hot Flushes
I am in the age bracket where more and more of my female friends are regularly glowing with that uncontrollable heat flash that typifies this particular stage of life. It draws me to think about the different phases of life and especially how, looking at it from this side of 50, age is not so [...]
End of Life Planning
Truth is we are each going to face end of life as we know it at some point, like it or not! And whilst it does not qualify as ideal over-dinner conversation there is no doubt that a bit of advance planning can substantially ease the burden on those we love when the inevitable does [...]

Fathers Day Gift Idea!
Why not buy yourself a gift – for him, for you, if you know what I mean! ArrangeMyWorld is the ideal Father’s Day gift because every Father wants to do the best for his family. Imagine if Dad was held up somewhere – ash cloud, passport control or oil spill delays travel? His absence is [...]
Passport Office Dispute
One time I found myself due to leave Dublin Airport for Denmark and no passport! Could not do anything except get a letter from the local Garda station and talk my way there and back. I had no real problem and travelled via Copenhagen to Aarhus and back without incident. That was until I tried [...]
