Seriously, some of these are DSLR quality. Someone knows their way around their K610i.

I took a few "action" photos of George and just had to set them to music. I think I picked the right track. I like 8-second videos.
...is mad out of it on the narcotics.
I have a few routes I can take to work. The most boring, and probably slowest one is from Shankill to Dun Laoghaire through Ballybrack. There’s traffic lights and boring bits of really straight roads with 50km/h speed limits. I almost never take that route.
The other one, which is quite nice, is straight over Killiney Hill on the Killiney Hill road and Dalkey Avenue, through Dalkey and onto Ulverton Road. I take that one mostly. It’s not a bad drive, and probably the quickest route. But there’s some horrible speed bumps. And there’s been road works on it for the past two weeks.
The best route, which is FUCKING AWESOME, is this one (you may have to scroll a bit):
I’ve driven this one a few times in the past week. It has magnificent views, hairpins, switchbacks, narrow, twisty bits with walls on both sides, blind corners nice straights, and the road surface is almost entirely perfect (which is rare for Ireland).

I'm heading over to London this Friday for the weekend, mainly to visit my Good Mate Adrian of sevitzdotcom fame, and also to experience some of the sights and flavours of Londinium I may not have seen before.
So if you're in London (permanently or just by coincidence) this weekend, let me know and we'll like totally hook up. Adrian has lots of stuff planned, and has even created a Facebook event to help organise things, which are set so far to include drinking in a nice pub (probably in or near Wandsworth), drinking (and sushi) in a fancy pub/lounge, going to the Ian Fleming exhibition in the Imperial War Museum, and dinner in Ian and Nat's. If you don't know Ian and Nat, you really should. They're lovely people.
There's plenty of time for other stuff too, so if you want to meet up for a drink or a sambo give me a shout, I'll do my best be there.
If you want to join us, go to Facebook and let us know you'll be there. Looking forward to seeing you.

What do you think, better than or not as good as the Phil Collins one with the Gorilla?
As per Babs request on the previous post, here’s the photo of her when she was all cute and ickle.
AWWLOOKITDELIDDLEBABBY!

Inspired by ZeFrank, here's a photo of me when I was only ickle. I think (and so does me Mam) that I'm about one and a half in this photo, and teething, hence the red (or slightly darker grey) cheeks.
I also think there's a definite resemblance between me and my niece Isobel, who's currently roughly about the same age as me in this photo. Have a look and tell me if you agree.
Oh, and if anyone else wants to continue the thread/meme/thingy, please find an old photo of yourself, blog it, and tell me about it in the comments.
Yo peeps, this gotta be really quick or fast or whatever you like cause I am in Global Gossip and they are charging me 3 dolla per hour for the joy of using their PC web (God I WISH I had brought my laptop!! But then where would I keep it while slumming in the hostels??)
