When I log in it seems to assume I am likely to know other people only on the basis we have the same name.

Here in Ireland it would be unusual for this level of winter weather firstly to occur, and then to remain for as long as it is.

One consequence of the weather is the amount of people in A&E departments with broken wrists, legs, hips etc, indeed my own mother-in-law (80) broke her wrist, we attended outpatients and I asked if there was much point in keeping her alive,and would it not be more humane to "put her down" but lamently they said NO.

More seriously I had to travel to Galway last Monday, and since I'm not allowed to drive, I had to take the bus. Whilst waiting for the bus at 8.30am in -6C the train service to Dublin stopped leaving 200 people without transport to Dublin, I couldn't believe the number of ladies still in high heels, the pavements are pure ice, and some of these people insist on waddling around in 2 to 4 inch high heels and then when they slip and fall, there are like baby Giraffes trying to find their feet just after being born. Wouldn't it be sensible to wear appropriate footwear and carry the shoes in back-pack? or am I underestimating the importance of high heels.

Then of course frozen pipes, the house we have in Galway sprung a leak, and I along with a friend of mine need to go there this evening and clear it out really annoying shit. €240 for a skip, €80 for a hotel all because of this feckin freezing weather.

Who said snow and ice is fun....

Anyway, take care, and stay warm

CYCLISTS SHOULD NOT BE CYCLING IN THIS WEATHER. YE ARE ALL SILLY SODS.

We had 9/11, the invasion of Iraq, Enron, Robbie Williams, the credit crunch, the expenses scandal, the terrorist attack in Mumbai, the Asian tsunami, Gordon Brown, 7/7, the banking crisis, Big Brother, superbugs, Swine Flu, shooting rampages at Virgina Tech, Land Rovers ..... the world is quite different, and I am not sure where I would start with my list of all the really annoying shit of the decade, but a new one begins, and (tongue in cheek) we're still making great television. Have a Happy new year, and love the world.

Blair cried. "My Precious! O my Precious!" And with that, even as his eyes were lifted up to gloat on his prize, he stepped too far, toppled, wavered for a moment on the brink, and then with a shriek he fell. Out of the depths came his last wail Precious, and he was gone.
