The Lord Of The Rings, Chapter By Chapter: A Knife In The Dark
This is the longest chapter since “A Shadow of the Past” and it’s all about building up the suspense. And it’s there right from the start when we get a truly excellent cut back to the Shire and Fatty Bolger … Continue reading

Football 10/11: vs Southampton (FA Cup)
Interesting game. Nether side really exerted the kind of influence they wanted on it, and it was played in a very lackadaisical manner. Not much to tell. Ferguson changed United’s formation up, and it didn’t work, Southampton having much the better of the first … Continue reading

Polls (Are Garbage? Yep)
Just back from Warpcon down in Cork (thoughts to come) having been away from news and the internet for around two days. Got home to be presented by two polls. Fianna Fail bouncing back, but only a bit. Sinn Fein falling, but only … Continue reading
Let’s Talk About Limerick (General Election 2011)
For the politically unaware: Limerick is changing in the next election. In 2007 there were three constituencies: Kerry North (which was, surprisingly enough, North Kerry), Limerick West (most of rural Limerick to the west and south of the city) and Limerick … Continue reading

NFB’s Dail Outlook Of The Week, 27 January (General Election 2011)
I decided I’d go ahead and make this a weekly Thursday tradition from now up to the day before the coming election. I’ll throw up a graph of what I think the next Dail is going to look like, explaining the changes … Continue reading

The Lord Of The Rings, Chapter By Chapter: Strider
When the hobbits, fresh from endangering the very planet they walk on by getting drunk and singing, get back to their room they find Strider already waiting for them. Unlike previous occasions, when such an act might have been seen … Continue reading

“…And Van Der Sar saves it, United again!”
He’s retiring at the end of the season, citing family concerns. I was a goalkeeper in school, and I’ve always had a tonne of respect for those who guard the net in the professional game. It’s a truly awful job. An outfield … Continue reading
Football 10/11: vs Blackpool
This might be the most important three points of the season. As a game in hand, getting the win was crucial to get that gap at the top, but United were just…I dunno. Poor obviously, jaded looking. It’s possible that the … Continue reading
Tarok Kalache, COIN And Attitude
Tarok Kalache is a small Afghan village. Last October, it was flattened by United States military forces who believed it to be a “Taliban tactical base”. Since then, the Unites States has spent its time in the area rebuilding the village. That’s … Continue reading

Joan Burton On Vincent Browne: Glug Glug?
This is just an excerpt. I suppose I could point out the hypocrisy of Labour staying quiet about the train wreck of a performance of their deputy leader on Vincent Browne last night, how it doesn’t quite match with the way they went after … Continue reading
