It’s that time of year again – we all lost the run of ourselves in the first three days of summer that we had, rolled around in the grass like puppies – and now we’re all dying with hay fever.  Everyone in the office now looks a little more swollen and puffy than we originally did before. Life […]

Something very rare happened in Dublin this week. Summer arrived on time and for a sustained period of 4 days in a row. Even if this was all we got for the year you get the impression Irish people would be happy out. It’s been a fucking scorcher and the mood of the nation has […]
