This template is a modified version of newsline but mostly in terms of layout - I need to get the css and host it myself so I can adjust the fonts which are a bit iffy, especially the quotes.

hey There!

You're from Cork eh? Sad to see Keano retire as much as I am? :)

I am looking to try to swap from blogger to a self hosted site too. Just forcing myself to work on it. Time, time.

cheers!

Can't decide if I like the change! Sorry! This is probably me though, as I don't like change period. I do think it will grow on me. Does look much more high brow and august though.

Of course, the truth is, I'm too scared/stupid to renovate my blog.

Ablonczy and O'Connor

-
It must burn the opposition parties that this NHL betting probe has popped up just as they hoped to get their teeth into Emerson and Fortier, and now O'Connor. Apparently some of the Alta. MPs are burned about Diane Ablonczy not getting the nod rather than the traitor and the senator. Instead Harper anoints the "gorgeous, pouting" Rona Ambrose (does very little for me actually, too much pouting, too little gorgeous, but I guess when you consider the alternatives...). Also some nonsense from the Star letters page about the West having too many ministers, when by population Alta/BC/Man/Sask are only slightly over-represented - hat tip Far and Wide. So what does that add up to? If Ablonczy failed to make cabinet, it wasn't because Fortier or Emerson were in the way, but Harper, Prentice, Solberg and the aforementioned Ambrose. Personally speaking she looks like a pretty good mind veiled by a vocal tone that puts teeth on edge. Between this and the defector and th...

British Airways should have stood firm

As someone who flies BA as frequently as I can, at least until Willie Walsh's penny pinching ruins it, I have been following the Nadia Eweida story on and off. Ms Eweida is a BA check in agent at London Heathrow with seven years service. She was wearing a visible cross in breach of BA's uniform policy for employees dealing directly with the public. The existing protocol is that all jewellery or religious symbols which can practicably be worn concealed, should be concealed. An offer of a back office job was made (and rejected) which would have allowed Ms Eweida to wear the cross externally. Exceptions are made for employees for whom the wearing of items is a mandatory requirement of their faith, e.g. Sikh turbans or bangles and subject to health and safety requirements in respect of machinery such as luggage belts. While BA is being hammered for this, other British based airlines such as Virgin and BMI have a similar policy . Ms Eweida did not demonstrate that wearing a c...

Now we've got to share "our" Sonia

-
Apparently Sonia O'Sullivan has acquired Australian citizenship so she can try out for Australia in the Commonwealth Games 5,000 metres (for those readers who don't know, Ireland has not been in the Commonwealth since the 40s). The games are being held in Melbourne in March where she has a home. She has pledged to never run against Ireland however. I have no doubt she will be as top an Aussie as she is an Corkonian.
