For every motor cycle enthusiast, if it isn’t enough that you get soaked and have to take 2 pairs of everything every where you travel to and not to mention the fact that everyone hates you because you hog lanes on the M50 and in the rear view mirror you actually look like one of those Traffic Corps Gardai, well this should surely make you the king of your peers!
“They are latex rubber covers that you fit on your open face helmet to make you look very different. They turn heads, create comments & lots of smiles….and frighten old ladies, especially if worn with a skull fleece facemask and dark goggles.
Touch wood you get into an RTA and the emergency services have to surgically remove this stupid addition from your face. . .
As visitors have pointed out, the Blog is having a bit of a brain fart at the moment, something to do with bits and bobs and code and crunches. I will see to it at my return , but in the mean time, the Feed should remain to work , not that there’s anything of late coming through on it.
I’m on my holiers at the mo’ but normal service should resume!
TwitterFone is a nice little gizmo that allows you to ring your Tweets! Launched by Pat Phelan at the start of May it’s a nice piece of work and is worth a try out if you can hunt down a much sought after invite!
You hook your phone details and twitter account up with the marshmallow sky slick twitterfone site and bobs your uncle! Then once out and about and suitably oiled up you can merrily tweet till your hearts content with out having to touch your laptop / phone browser!
I’m amazed at how they can translate pretty acurately from speech to text and its then linked in your tweets with a small mp3 clip of what was said, which can prove to be a bad thing . And while it very much is a nice novelty i would be curious to see how many people use it constantly, i know the sign ups have gone through the roof and its a smash success but would wonder if this is the taste of the future. Blogging voice to text? Replying to emails ? Commenting on Blogs?
We started at the Market Bar which i’d never been to and was pleasantly suprised at how nice it was. With ample Free-Wifi and alcohol everyone was quids in and storys were spun, truths were told and photeees were taken, crotch photos were the order of the day *ahem*
Moving on we hit O’Neills for some late pints and as we tried desperately to get Anthony laid even more drunk we stumbled upon some fine American people who had a sense of humour and a mild tolerance for bullshit. What followed was more trying to get Anthony laid erm drunk and rickrolling, dancing, standing in the rain, airing discussions and bitching about blog-folk, enquiring about the state of the bar mans sister and finding out it now costs a fiver on the nitelink!
from the bits i forgot this morning i did however find this much out. . .

Really had a great night with a lot of laughs with a lot of fine people!
There are some people out there who like things to be small so it gives them the illusion of them being really really ridiculously giant-like but i don’t know if there’s a condition for this. You would feel like a complete borrower for using this to play Mario Kart.
Nice if you wanted to include your other half in your hours of mind numbing gaming, but i’m sure it would only lead to worse domestics over failing to ‘engage the fire button on time’ etc
Hairyfish is a compilation of the worst and best on the web. It is sometimes personal, sometimes funny, but never late.
If you enjoy slacks as much as i do, feel free to leave a comment. Ben
