Another year, another head-butt in the nuts. This blog's sixth and seventh Irish Blog Awards nominations went the same sorry way of the previous five. End result - diddly squat. I think …

On February 27th (yes, this very day) last year I 'penned' a Manky Toy post about the delectable Maureen - a doll beautifully described by Kirstie (of Beaut.ie) as "Mullingar Beef …

Things may appear to have been fairly quite around here of late, but I haven't been totally unproductive. Like a beaver on crack I have been…er…beavering away on another project and now, finally, it can …

Another year, another fustar.info washout. We came, we saw, we danced, we mingled, I drank numerous pints of Guinness and…as they'd say in Limerick, "We wan nah-tin".

Since I was absolutely certain that Sinéad …
