Ireland Says No
Well it is official, Ireland has rejected the Lisbon Treaty with 46.6% saying Yes and 53.4% saying No. Overall a difference of some 110,000 votes. They keep saying that we are in ‘uncharted waters’, can not help but laugh at that…as nothing has changed. Surely by bringing in the undemocratic reforms they desired would have…

The Lisbon Treaty – Get Out & Vote
It is almost time to vote on the Lisbon Treaty, I will be voting against it but no matter what anyone else thinks please get out there and cast your vote. As I have made clear before, I fully support the idea of an United States of Europe. This document is not the right step…

Restricted But Not Out
When I heard I was getting the Kawasaki Er-6n as a hire bike while my Karma was getting repaired I was both excited and disappointed. Part of me was hoping for something like a Honda Deauville as my routine would go unaffected with its built in luggage, I know, sounds like a strange hope but…

It Came & Went
Well, it is unlike me to forget anniversaries but I forgot this one…a whole year of keeping a web log has come and gone! February 27th to be exact. My little experiment started over on Yahoo but I swapped over to blogger because it gave me a bit more freedom in layout and features. Since…

Still Going Forward
5000 miles and service number 2 completed. How is Karma fairing? Not a problem is the answer! Nothing wrong, everything is as it should be and just keep doing what I have been doing…which has been just enjoying the bike. To put into perspective, in 4200 miles I have not have to top up the…

Mr Scruff in the Button Factory
I survived the weekend…and what a weekend it was! Without a doubt Mr Scruff (CLICK HERE) is the best there is at what he does. As soon as I walked into the Button Factory at 11.30pm he was on stage. After plucking up some courage I approached and he was happy to have a chat…

DCU Model United Nations
Other then my unnatural love affair with motorcycles (If only that was the worst of it…) I also have a few other things that keep me entertained. Not that studying for a Degree In International Relations is eventful enough I am also a committee member of the Dublin City University Model United Nations (DCU MUN).…
