Dundrum Village, once a quaint area mainly to live with its leafy roads and mature housing estates is now a major shopping district and entertainment place.With Sandyford Industrial Estate, the changes there are

Ok, I don't normally do this but my client Dan in La Caverna has been chasing me for ages to come down and have a dinner there. The only reason I did not was my old excuse of TIME. My god though I wish I found the time to go there before now because the food was just amazing. Not going to review the food cause I can't describe it well enough but for my mind this was the very best Italian

Over the years the price of Oil/GAS/diesel/Petrol has fluctuated greatly and when it was in the .50-.70cents per litre people did not complain nor notice much. But the pricing in the stations was never shown as .50 or .60 but more like 050.9 9 with the 9 been very small.Now when I go to fill up my tank what used to be every 2 weeks, it is now almost every week. The price is €1.42.9. What the hell

Scientists from Sandia National Laboratories in New Mexico discovered a way to utilise the power of sunlight to produce methanol and or gasoline (petrol). Now I must say at first glance this is exciting but unfortunately if they discover a way to perfect this then this could assist in reducing the overal global contribution of large power plants and general industry to the Global Warming

The Price of Oil and how it is going to cause the next Global Recession, but there is something we can do about it!I just received this in my email, and I must say its brilliant.

Mr. Clarke had post-polio syndrome for the last two decades and used a wheelchair.I will pay homage to the

I was doing some research for another post on Global Warming and I found a couple of sites that were debunking Global Warming as been man made and they were citing a "independent expert" with no axe to grind.But actually nothing could be further from the truth. On his site he quotes some books and papers he wrote and his learned (don't doubt these) credenials. But what worries me is when he gets
