Hairiest man seeks new love

The world's hairiest man is looking for a new love on the internet after breaking up with his girlfriend.

Yu Zhenhuan, recognised in 2002 as the world's hairiest man by the Guinness Book of Records, is using an online dating agency.

"I was amazed to see his picture there, since I'd been hearing he was going to get married soon. So I called the media," says the person who broke the story, and who wants to remain anonymous.

Yu, 29, confirmed: "We got to know each other through the internet, and had been seeing each other for three years. Unfortunately our relationship has come to an end."

And he added: "My whole body is covered with hair, and my parents are worried I won't be able to find a wife. Many girls are shocked when they see me in person.

Can I give away a jar of Vegemite for free??

The nice people at Australia.com sent me a cool hamper full of Aussie stuff for Australia day at the end of this month. I got Kylie CDs, Oz wine, Oz beer, Tim Tam bars and some cool books on the country... and this!

Vegemite... who in Dublin will bother to come in and get themselves a jar of this for free. Can I GIVE it away do you think???!! :)

Yo...

Haven't updated this in a few days.. finding the time sounds like a terrible excuse but I am just so busy these days :-(

I DID manage to find time to get a coffee this morning and with Halloween over, it seems Christmas is well and truly here. Starbucks have transformed their new outlet in Ballsbridge overnight to pictures of red and Christmas everywhere you look - even the cups.. ! I'm not gonna mention the Smyth's Toys ad I heard today which says they are now open 'til 11 every night!!!



If you're going to any of the Big Top gigs I reckon you are in for a great night but just in case you haven't seen the size of the thing...........

Croker last night...

If you've ever been to an Ireland game in the good old days, you'll know 'Rockin' All Over The World' is played after a victory.. Last night when the final whistle went, 'Chasing Cars' started to pump out over a subdued Croke Park and I can't think of a more suitable song to end the match.

Didn't take part in the booing at all, don't think it was right to be honest and the "get Staunton out" chants made me feel like I was sitting somewhere in the UK at a Second Division match and a load of "fans" who don't know better following the chant like sheep.

What next for Ireland?

Here's a couple of pictures I took from my seat on the Hill last night, pre match I might add when the atmosphere was a fair bit better :-)

The second things I saw today which I thought might interest you is this t shirt one of our staff has on today. Now this t shirt is not a freebie, it was bought in a normal clothes shop but what company do you think of when you read it???!!

What's That Sound

What's That Sound is now worth €220 and we've had some great guesses... don't forget it's NOT a shower curtain, a bicycle pump or a knife being sharpened :-)

Nina Dawson got it - she was the ONLY text that had it right and she picked up €2,000 for her troubles!

The sound was the sound of a fire extinguisher handle being pulled up and dropped.

Now, I have to think up a new sound over the next few hours to wreck your head again today from 4.40 on The Jam...
