One thing that often happens is that the press don't pick up on the good story.
Pity that.

Only bad news is goon news for them!

Funny thing the other day,
Picked up a lady with 2 big kids going to Pierce st.
en route I spoke about what we were passing, as you do.
As we approached Windmill Lane where the U2 studios were I asked the girl in the front seat if they had ever seen the street, "We just want to get to our hotel, not a scenic drive" came the mothers voice from the back seat.
Well if you know the area it would have been 20 yards out of their way.
What do you do? Be rude and abrupt or show people points of interest that they might be missing?
Like the Winter Gardens just beside the Holiday Inn?
(look in the next time your passing)

A whole street built under glass.

Where the street has no rain.

Did they know Google was just up the road?.

Things have a way of coming back I feel, something called Karma.

On the way down is Liam Carroll the first spectacular developer to hit the fan.
(Landlord of Google)
Don't know how bad it is but its over 1.2 billion euro in the red.
This will cause a landslide in the property prices.

Did you see that hotel collapse into the river the other night in China?
That was nothing compared with what will tumble here in the next few months.

Just a mention of the girl I brought home from Barcode a few weeks ago now.

Started work at 14 sweeping up the hair in the salon and doing shampoos, her boss was an alcoholic who used to come into work drunk in the mornings and go to sleep in the back of the shop.
So she was soon pressed into doing more work than she was ready for but she learned fast.
It was a good lesson to learn when still so young, that drink can ruin your life.

Now she is the most qualified stylist in her salon and she was off to work with Vidal Sasoon in London for a week starting Monday.

Hairdressing is a good trade, a good stylist can name their price.
And travel the world.
I know of one salon owner in Dublin who was hair fashion adviser to 2 magazines and he did fashion shows and photo shoots all the time.
At night his exclusive clients used to come to the salon when they would not be recognized. Not a bad life at all Frank.


Oh yes and we got Ikea
