The Road To Morocco – My Diary, Part 4.
Up at the crack of sparrow fart to begin Day 5 of this journey, it was 6.00am but now it is 7.00am on a bright, bright March morning. The sun is beating down but the breeze off the Atlas Mountains suggests a cool 14C. Today should be good we have […]
A Victory For Right Over Wrong.

Smart Meters A Step Too Far – Part 3
Well would you Adam and Eve it, instead of a visit from Irish Water, this morning I received a visit from the bold Garda Siocana. A very nice chap as they have all been who have knocked at my door. He said he had received a complaint from a man […]
A Trip To Cork
Well I am back online after suffering an attack last Thursday and me only discovering it on Friday night and these computer anoraks who only work five days a week not getting into gear until Monday meant I was bereft for five days. It is like having your legs cut […]
Beware Of The Men/Women In Suits Especially Lawyers And The RBS
