  • Facebook momentum

    The Resign, Mr Ahern group continues to grow. Newstalk 106 have been in touch and asked if I could go on the Declan Carty show at around 11.15pm tonight. I should be on, subject to time slot changes. 1,073 members, and counting.

  • Happy new year

    … to all out there in the blogosphere, to all my readers, and to everyone really. 1,000 strong against Ahern is now the official figure, what a great new year’s gift!

  • Adverts

    As readers may have noticed I have Google Adsense on my blog. I have installed Donncha’s plugin for only showing irregular visitors who drop in via searches of the archives, but it does not appear to be working. Can anyone advise?

  • Something odd with Google

    For over a year when you typed Burj Dubai into Google, three images appeared at the top of the search. One of them was of a post I wrote, and of a graphic comparing the size of buildings.
