Jump Out of Your Skin

Yup I the recycle bin is currently sitting in the corner looking at me with a disgruntled look on its face.  Where is the Sunday newspaper it groans. OK my recycle bin can’t talk but I have moved online for my newspaper reading.  See what I did.

I used to buy the Sunday Newspapers but stopped as I never actually got to read them as Sunday ends up being a family day when we do lots of other things and although the idea of sitting down with my feet up and a cup of coffee in hand reading through a couple of newspapers is an attractive one it rearely if ever happened. .  The only winners was the recycle bin as every Tuesday or Wednesday the Sunday Times or whatever would be put into it often still with the fold on it.  But today I just went to Google Reader and added all their RSS feeds.  Now I can look at them quickly, star what I like and read them whenever I like.  Poor recycle bin doesn’t know what happened it.  And to be a an International reader here are some of the other feeds I added from US and Australia.

Thanks Kieran for all the help - Al!

• LA Times I like the LA Times as it has some pretty darned good articles – really dude!
• New York Time - One of my favourite papers (Ni I am not a republican!) I like the style of writing and of course David Pogues column is always worth a read.
• Buffalo News – I work with a company from Buffalo now I know the news before they do as Americans fall prey to Fox news sound bites
• US Today Come on – who on a business trip to the Us has not sat at breakfast as the whole breakfast room reads this piece of junk.
• The Guardian Hmm I might be a Tory though.
• The Irish Examiner Well a true Cork man must read ‘De Paper’.  I stop short ofhte Evening Echo though.  Good for stuffing wet shoes only
• Dilbert - I mean you have to have some cartoons
• Financial Times – So I can use phrases like “Global equity and bond markets endure a painful week while a big fall in the yen dominates currency trading and gold retreats sharply”
• Perth Herald – I work with someone from Perth who isn’t IT literate.  Love to tell her things she doesn’t know

Now don’t get me wrong I think Slumdog Millionaire is a good movie and well done on the 8 Oscars.  I just made the theme tune my ringtone on my IPhone as it is distinctive and loud – I might even answer it some day – but when they won the last Oscar did they ALL have to come on the podium.  I must admit it was a nice touch but it prompted the thought when Ben Hur won all its Oscars would Charlton Heston  have waved at the back stage guys and said “Bring on the horses they did such a great job in the race scene!!” 

Not sure about that.  Here is the scene when the all came on stage. Like the Tigger jump by the way.

Lets Invade the Stage SLumdog Style

Cork Hurling Strike rolls on

It is bugging the living s***t out of me whether I am not hearing the silent minority on the Cork hurling issue.  Do people really care or is it really a burning issue.  I go to lots of games but see that the debate on the Cork team seems one sided.  Now is your chance to vote.  What are your thoughts on an issue that has been consuming he GAA media in Ireland for the past months.  Vote now!
