Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldfkB... - Quotes
- there's no nonsense like nostalgia/cars are useless in dublin unless as status symbols/politics:being all things to all rich men/sith happens/goddamn conorboy! (in a portuguese accent)/give that man a mammogram! (I'm quite proud of that one)/a man who hasn't found something worth dying for has nothing to live for/The secret of life is to appreciate the pleasure of being terribly, terribly deceived/The public is wonderfully tolerant. It forgives everything except genius/Women love us for our defects. If we have enough of them, they will forgive us everything, even our intellects/There are only two kinds of people who are really fascinating: people who know absolutely everything, and people who know absolutely nothing/You probably wouldn't worry about what people think of you if you could know how seldom they do/Don't worry about the world coming to an end today - it's already tomorrow in Australia

National Demo - Free Gaza: Stop the Slaughter! End the Siege!
The Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign has called a National Demonstration in solidarity with Gaza for this Saturday 3rd January. The protest will begin with speeches at 1pm at the Central Bank Plaza on Dame Street (Dublin), we will then march to the Dail (Kildare Street), the EU Offices (Molesworth Street), and finish up with a rally at the Spire on O'Connell Street - which will feature a live phone-link to Gaza. The slogan we will be moibilising around is simple "Free Gaza: Stop the Slaughter! End the Siege!"
The death toll in Gaza now stands at over 360 with countless more injuries, and the Israeli Government has vowed "long weeks of action" in the area, with the likelihood of of a full ground invasion. We in Ireland must take action to oppose the ongoing brutal assault on a defenceless people - the IPSC is calling on all political parties, civil society groups, trade unions, and ordinary people to build and mobilise for Saturday's demo.
Furthermore, on Tuesday morning, it is reported that an Israeli patrol boat rammed the Free Gaza Movement boat the SS Dignity which was bringing three tons of medical aid and medical experts to Gaza. The boat - flying the flag of Gibraltar - was in international waters and, according to a CNN journalist that was aboard, it was rammed without warning. The boat began taking on water, and is now slowly making its way to the safety of Lebanon.
What you can do:
1. Encourage as many members of your political organisation, trade union, civil society or community group etc as possible to attend.
2. Encourage your friends and family to come along.
3. Advertise the demo on your website, mailing list(s), social networking sites, internet forums or any other online outlets.
4. If you work or have contacts in the media, please try to use your influence to advertise the demo via any medium. The IPSC can provide interviewees if needed (contact 01 6770253).0 Comments 338 days

On The Radio (uh-oh)
Every wednesday from 7.30pm on www.trinityfm.com or every 3rd week on 97.3 FM within about 50 yards of Trinity (no really, the transmitter is ridiculously weak - the average burp causes interference) my good friend Conor Darrall and I have a radio show, with the somewhat risqué title 'The Conor(s) Show'. Trust me, it's never been done before...
A new radiogram show for the scummy masses of Trinity College Dublin with the "Two Connies" described by The Rev. Gregory Bartney as 'lovely, clean-smelling young bucks', our frequent charity work first brought us to the attention of TFM. Intrigued by the contentious (some would say bullying) sexual tension between us, the radio cats promptly decided to lock us in a room and put us 'on air'
See what all the fuss is about on 97.3 FM (in Dublin) and online at www.trinityfm.com
Call In: 00353 18963883
Text: 53377 + TFM
maybe even join the facebook group... The Conor(s) Show
Items to look forward to:
-The News
-Darrall O'Laughs
-Dr Conor's Advice
-Nuclear Holocaust Survival Tips
-Lovely Lovers Love Song
-Conor's Hippy Hoppy Rapucation
-The World of Otters
-The Emotional Relationship Problems of Robots (they're human too, after all)
Musically, we'll have a mixture of new hits and classics, from Datarock to David Bowie, with a taste of The Everly Brothers thrown in for good measure.

The Likely Lads was a hit British sitcom created and written by Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais. Twenty episodes were broadcast by the BBC, in three series, between December 1964 and July 1966. However, only eight of these shows have survived (see below).
This show was followed by a popular sequel series, in colour, entitled Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads?, broadcast between January 1973 and December 1974; and, in 1976, by a spin-off feature film The Likely Lads.
Some episodes of both the original Sixties series and the Seventies sequel were adapted for radio, with the original television cast. -
