ALL’S FECKIN’ TERRIFYING IN LOVE AND WAR
The best way to describe Felix’s approach to chatting up women would be to compare it to Upham’s, the squad translator from Saving Private Ryan, attitude towards discharging his firearm.

#12 WITH A BULLET…
There was a parcel from comedian David O’Doherty waiting for me when I arrived home in Ballyhaunis on Saturday morning. “Hey Eoin,” he wrote. “As Ireland’s twelfth ranked tastemaker, I am sending you a copy of this book I wrote with my friend Claudia and Mike from Daddy…” Read the rest of this entry »
FILLMORE JIVE (1994)
Goodnight to the rock n’ roll era… I’m off to Ballyhaunis for the weekend to, amongst other things, settle up my tax affairs.

Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, to be precise. “The line we always tell people is that our eyes met over a pile of bricks,” she laughs. “But actually it was across a table of robots Pete had just built.” The couple (now settled happily in Essex) are among the millions worldwide who share a enduring love for all things Lego.
