Bringing Irreverence to a Blog Near You
While leading an internet-only life has numerous advantages, there are some drawbacks to getting all my news via RTE tweets, Mulley and Twenty Major. While they are all excellent news sources, they occasionally miss out on the most important stories of the year.
I woke up this morning fully intending to blog but having absolutely no idea what to write about. As it turns out, John Collins at the Irish Times has solved this problem for me by doing all the writing himself: there’s a very nice write-up of sabrinadent.com in the Blogspot spot of the Business Section. As I stopped consuming dead trees some time ago, I had no idea until Ina told me.
So if you’re popping by via the Times, dia duit. Please note that I can spell but not pronounce that, so as Mr Collins points out, I am indeed not very Irish. However, as I apparently also have an “irreverent style” and am “unafraid to pin my colours to the mast” perhaps I can be forgiven for this lack.
Speaking of forgiveness, I’d link you to the article online, except the Irish Times will charge you €2 for the pleasure of reading terribly nice things written about me. Normally, of course, I’d bitch about this but that seems downright churlish given the circumstances.
Instead, I’d like to invite you to simply cut out the middle man and give me the two quid instead. After all, I’ve already given them €2 for today’s paper (technically, the paper is only €1.70 but the queue was long and I couldn’t be arsed to wait for my change) so I think we’re all even there.
Is that suitably irreverent?

Congrats Sabrina! ;-)
18.01.2008, 3:40 pmNice one! Social pages of the Sindo next, I presume? ;-)
18.01.2008, 4:00 pmNouns, having been barred from the Jockey Club back in the UK, I think I am unlikely Sindo material.
Apparently it is inappropriate to get drunk at a charity auction and bid on the auctioneer.
18.01.2008, 4:02 pmI thought that it depends on your offer
