Our solicitor’s practice business, Terry Gorry & Co. Solicitors, received its 100th review on Google Business yesterday. Our average review mark is 4.8. Reviews are important for any business, and I have had a love/hate relationship with Google Business reviews for a number of reasons including the fact that anyone, not just a client, can… Continue reading 100 Google reviews
Immigration law-a new departure?
I am considering a new departure in my solicitor’s practice here in Enfield: immigration law. If I do decide to branch into this new area of law it will probably be from January 2024. The irony is that what prompted this consideration is the focus on anti-immigrant protests and sentiment in 2023 which has been… Continue reading Immigration law-a new departure?
The importance of good audio
Many people who decide to get into video and see how valuable it can be to grow their business and brand make a rookie mistake: they fail to see the importance of good audio. Viewers will put up with less than perfect video footage, and will expect shaky, unprofessional videos in many circumstances. But they… Continue reading The importance of good audio
Blind, unwavering, uncritical support-is there no limit?
I have made videos about Seán Quinn, Donald Trump and Enoch Burke over the last 12 months or so, often more than one video-for example, if there was some development involving one or more of these individuals. I have strong views on all three individuals, but I will not bore you with those views now.… Continue reading Blind, unwavering, uncritical support-is there no limit?

We always make this observation about Ireland when we travel abroad
We are just back from my annual leave-a week in the Puglia region of Italy. Puglia has some beautiful, historic and interesting towns such as Lecce, Bari, Monopoli, Astuni and it was an enjoyable week. It’s always great to travel and see how others live and organise their affairs. But there is one thing that… Continue reading We always make this observation about Ireland when we travel abroad
Finding a Roman road in Brindisi
I saw my first Roman road in Brindisi yesterday. The road, constructed by the Romans centuries ago, was discovered in Brindisi in 1965 when a housing project was under construction. Once discovered the Italians built a public library suspended over it so that it is well preserved, protected and surveyed. You will see the pictures… Continue reading Finding a Roman road in Brindisi
Bari and Ostuni beach
We went out to Ostuni beach/Villanova and Bari yesterday. The beach was nice and extremely quiet. However, we had to wait for a couple of hours for the bus to come back so we went to a local cafe and bought bottles of Peroni beer for €2 per bottle. It is a long, long time… Continue reading Bari and Ostuni beach
I posted this on TikTok and the stats are remarkable
I posted a short, vertical video yesterday on TikTok. This is the video. It took a minute to make whilst I was sitting in a café in Ostuni, Puglia, Italy. It now has 52,000 views and it is only half a day later. That is some return for one minute’s work and the video was… Continue reading I posted this on TikTok and the stats are remarkable
