“I was
workingbrowsing earlier on this morning and came across your stocking filler post and thought I might weigh in on the matter. I sell my own Irish handmade jewellery, including this FDN-snowflake pendant, above, for €35. It’s cute, quirky and very much suitable for this time of the year, hopefully they’ll be the only snowflakes we see in the run up to Christmas!”

“Is it cheeky to suggest my Personalised Handmade Stockings, for €15.48, to put into your Irish-made stocking filler posts? I even picked the pinecones myself! From a Mayo Girl on loan to Bantry.”

Not as easy as it looks.
You may recall the Golden Discs competition from a few week’s back. Winner ‘Tickle’ donated his/her winnings to Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital, Crumlin , Dublin.
Providing the poorly youngsters and exhausted front line staff with this eclectic selection (above) of CDs and DVDs for Xmas.

Can you thank Aideen from Golden Discs HQ for all her help? Lovely person to deal with. Plus all the staff at their Nutgrove Golden Discs store for their help… I’d like to add, it is a lot harder to pick 10 music CDs/DVDs for kids than you think! :)
Damn Daft Punk-loving, under-the-weather mini-hipsters.

Having travelled from Tokyo on the bullet train the night before, Enda and entourage left the city of Nagoya at the crack of dawn to visit the Toyota City car production plant.
It’s the second oldest “prant” in Japan, as our guides told us.
…Before touring the building, the visitors were treated to a “pree-zen-tation” on the wonders of Toyota by the prant’s “external affairs” man, who sounded like a cross between Ron Burgundy and Kent Brockman from The Simpsons.
A prant worker gave a little speech but nobody understood a word he said…
Gulp..

Complete unnecessary casual racism within Miriam Lord's article. I'm normally a fan of her work but that was unacceptable.

Hmmm….if a Japanese newspaper ran a piece about the Irish like that one Miriam Lord wrote today, I suspect there'd be trouble!
