Mo's party: Amanda tries to put Mark off his shot.

Mo throws cool barbeque, Mark and Fiona in attendance
Sutton - Saturday night was livened up last weekend up in Sutton as some of the crew and their friends turned up for a night of eating Mo'Bia and getting to know people with names like Dangerous Dave, Masako, Neesha, Mrs. Mo, Piglet and T.
Plenty of drink and food, a big snooker table and the Men and Motors channel, combined with appearances by ex-KW celebrities Fiona and Mark, made for a most interesting night. Everyone was in good form and the party was fairly lively.
And at no extra charge to you, I had the photos developed on Sunday so you could see some of the action on Monday morning from the comfort of your little office.

Graham produces WicklowToday.com
Today Graham works with some other guys on Wicklow resource
site, WicklowToday.com.
I asked Graham if he misses the KW crew: "Ahhhhh, I
remember when...
Paul would regularly and inadvertently re-format his hard-drive...
Ah, those were the days."

Thinking of buying a gaff? By Waltzer.
Some you may be aware that I am thinking of buying an
apartment. It sounds like a great idea, but what do you have to trade
off to get such a thing? A bit more that you would think, it seems:
Disposable income goes way down. You can see your normal
rent of about £350 per month rise to about £500 per month. That means
you have to find an extra £150 per month from what was your eating, drinking
and shopping money. Something has to be cut down on, and being Irish,
it won't be the drink.
Now I don't know about you, but I have been toying with
the idea of going back to college. The past year has shown me some things
that have said to me "you should really go back to college." But if you
have to keep up a mortgage you can say goodbye to any notions of going
back to college.
You have to be more careful at work. No more giving
out about the company on your personal website. No more complaining and
threatening to leave if you don't get your way. With the industry the
way it is, you'd be wise to be conservative with ideas of moving around,
but with a big mortgage it's even more dangerous.
Invariably, the place you buy isn't going to be in as
good a location as the place you rent at the moment. So you have to put
up with a drop in quality of life as you walk further to work, or worse
still, have to get a bus.
So what happiness is left in your life now that you
have no money, can't go to college or travel, can't leave the job, must
be nice to the bosses and have a long bus journey to work and town? Well
your money isn't going down the drain. Really? What price would you put
on your freedom? £350 a month?
Now that wrecks me buzz. |
