One of the most important tasks I carry out on a daily basis in relation to my solicitor’s practice is what I call “content distribution”.

The real value of history
I am enjoying an excellent BBC podcast at the moment called “History Extra Podcast”. There is a tremendously wide range of historical topics covered and the experts who are interviewed about their particular area of expertise are genuine experts. One thing that strikes me is the degree to which the victor in any conflict gets… Continue reading The real value of history
The History Extra Podcast-well worth a listen
I am listing to a podcast by the BBC at the moment-the History Magazine podcast-and it is top class. Anybody can have a podcast nowadays. All you need is a microphone and a computer or laptop to allow you make audio recordings. The quality of many podcasts knocking around now is dubious.

The only way Trump is avoiding a conviction (and jail)
Former President Donald Trump has been federally indicted for the third time, it was announced this morning on the radio.

A useful tool to draw out small minds

Revisiting Enfield train station and ghosts in the signal cabin

I remember playing football in the station yard and being down in the signal cabin with Jim McDonnell who was a good friend of my grandfather.

I used to hate Sinéad O’Connor
I used to hate Sinéad O’Connor. That was back in 1987 or thereabouts when she burst on the scene first with “Mandinka”. I and my brother had a little shop in Glasnevin around that time and her voice was forever blaring out on our shop radio. Back before you needed a licence to play a… Continue reading I used to hate Sinéad O’Connor
