Goodbye to the Port and Brandy, to the Vodka and the Stag,

How your man stayed up on the surfboard after 14 pints of stout.

Catching up with Big Picture draft episodes and Sean asking "is A Knight's Tale a good film" in the 2001 draft has irrationally pissed me off. He didn't even ask it a snarky way, it was a genuine question as though he hadn't seen it or didn't remember it which in a way makes it so much worse.

I delivered the 700 page business case and cost benefit analysis for MetroLink to Michael O'Leary's office yesterday.
O'Leary said on RTÉ Radio that there’s been no cost-benefit analysis done on Metrolink which was then repeated on multiple news outlets.
