The Apprentice: BBC 2...

I don’t know if my fans have been keeping track of what is easily the best reality programme on the face of global television, but since it started 5 weeks ago, I’ve been glued religiously to the television on Wednesday nights since the new series started. I’m not talking about mind-numbing monotonous productions like Big Brother and the spin-offs from it such as “I’m a Celebrity” and...

St. Patrick’s Day...

For many, it’s a day of national pride and a chance to walk around the towns and cities of Ireland draped in the tri-colour. For Government ministers, it’s a time of international travel to spread the good word that Ireland is open for business.

Odds are nobody really knows me – that might be arrogant to say but it’s largely true. Most...

Last night, the Unionist Lord Mayor of Belfast appeared alongside Tim Pat Coogan and Irish...

The Bebo Effect...

Bebo.com is a website that has been around for some time now. I was first invited to view a friend’s profile on it about 5 weeks ago, and opted to not register as I didn’t see it’s potential. However in the past 3 weeks or so, Bebo has been adopted as the new Tamagotchi of the 21st century as students from across the Republic have been logging on and signing up to what has got to be one of the most rapidly...
