Slim's Speakeasy: A bit o' Irishness
http://slimzspeakeasy.blogspot.com/2008/07/bit-o-irishness.html
Monday 21 July 2008. A bit o' Irishness. Greetings loyal blog readers. I thought I'd share a quick story that struck me as quintessentially Irish. Pre. Tiger Ireland is not gone, just hiding behind some shiny cars, Thai takeaway boxes, and 72 inch televisions. The radio jocks on one of the national stations were going on this morning about how the singer from Clannad. Had recently slagged Bono. For his inability to hit high notes. When one national hero gives out about another, it's worthy of comment.

Slim's Speakeasy: November 2007
http://slimzspeakeasy.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
Monday 19 November 2007. Saw the elusive Lapwing. This past weekend we slopped through mud and muck to look at waders, what we used to call shorebirds. More lapwings. A great crested grebe. Dozens of oystercatchers. Hundreds of dunlin. A fair few curlew. A shelduck or two. Flocks of brent geese (pale-bellied). PK saw a raptor make off with something small and feathery. The star of the show, however, was the. Monday 12 November 2007. Autumn is in full swing! And I'm back online. Apologies. Or at least par...

Slim's Speakeasy: More pics
http://slimzspeakeasy.blogspot.com/2008/11/more-pics.html
Wednesday 19 November 2008. Quality Lass did a much better job with documenting our trip to India, as seen here. Interestingly enough, I felt great eating all that healthy Indian food, and have been feeling sluggish and loagy since returning. Back on the Irish stodge! View my complete profile.

Slim's Speakeasy: I know I know...
http://slimzspeakeasy.blogspot.com/2008/08/i-know-i-know.html
Monday 25 August 2008. I know I know. No blogging in over a month. We've been having a good summer, even if the weather has been absolutely rancid. Even worse than last summer. However, we've made the best of it, as evidenced by these new photos. That should keep you occupied for 10 minutes or so. More soon. View my complete profile.

Slim's Speakeasy: When it rains it pours
http://slimzspeakeasy.blogspot.com/2008/09/when-it-rains-it-pours.html
Sunday 7 September 2008. When it rains it pours. First I found out on Friday that I was unsuccessful in a promotion bid I'd made the day before. It was for the position Head of Quality and Compliance for Talk Talk Group. Ahh well. The guy who got the job is great and I look forward to working with him (for him, actually). Unfortunately, the Deise's run ended in a rather dramatic fashion, with the Cats walloping the good guys. We watched it at Daddy Lad's house, with his wife, child, mom, and dad in r...

Slim's Speakeasy: Beer!
http://slimzspeakeasy.blogspot.com/2008/11/beer.html
Sunday 23 November 2008. Be aware that I'm a bit of a beer snob. OK. A lot of a beer snob. Frequent conversation:. Me: "Corona is undrinkable muck. In fact, any beer served with a lime is immediately suspicious.". Almost everyone else: "You're crazy. I love Corona.". Me: "Carry on wasting your life so.". 5%, Wheat ale): This is an unfiltered Russian beer with a bit of a spicy clean finish. Very much like Paulaner. 47%, Pale ale): Yet another Wychwood brew, this one drinks like a lager, with clear, sharp ...

Slim's Speakeasy: I'm back!
http://slimzspeakeasy.blogspot.com/2008/11/im-back.html
Saturday 15 November 2008. From India that is. I went to all three of our outsourced partners (Mumbai, New Dehli, and Bangalore) with my programme coordinator (Quality Lass) for about 10 days. Actually got to do a bit of sightseeing to the. This time. And no. Horrific GI tract misery. Either. We had a really great time and ate some incredible food. If you ever find yourself staying. I can heartily recommend the non-veg prixe fixe menu at their Indian. By the way, the Taj is everything you've ever heard a...

Slim's Speakeasy: Happy Bastille Day, y'all! (or Participate! Part 2)
http://slimzspeakeasy.blogspot.com/2008/07/happy-bastille-day-yall-or-participate.html
Monday 14 July 2008. Happy Bastille Day, y'all! So we decided to recognize the occasion with some homemade moules frites. Fabulous. This the day after a fabulous weekend camping, complete with a bit of actual summer thrown in: sun for more than an hour and temperatures creeping up towards a cool winter in Florida. Today we hit 22 degrees C. That's low 70s in American. There was much rejoicing. Now, where was I? The second set up was a bit more like traditional nude photography. Well, as traditional a...
